If you’ve spent this past workweek furiously trying to figure where I’d wind up for this installment of Tech Essentials (and hopefully win your office betting pool), you can now put your pencils down because I’ve arrived in Pisa, Italy.
This week, I’m visiting you from a nondescript vacant lot on the outskirts of Pasadena, California. “Armand,” you ask. “You’re a long way from Davos! You’re usually in such posh locations when you report to us for Tech Essentials.”
Armand, here again. As RPost’s product evangelist, I’m thrilled to be here in Hong Kong to kick off the Year of the Dragon in 2024.

Dr. Suess created that grey fuzzy-haired creature many years ago, the Grinch, who stole Christmas. While not quite as cute and fuzzy as the Grinch, today’s cybercriminals are posing as a similar sounding nefarious activity, the Glitch.
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." This quote attributed to Socrates, while controversial, underscores the importance of humility in our quest for knowledge.
