0:20.1

Welcome back to Clockwise, the Tech Podcast, where time is always marching forth.

0:25.1

I'm your co-host, Dan Moran, and I'm joined across this Fair Nation, as I am every week, by Jason Snow.

0:32.1

Hi, Dan. How's it going?

0:33.4

It's going okay. How's it going with you out there? And is it sunny in California?

0:37.1

It's sunny. Sunny and nice. Sorry. Well, that is just great. We're joined by two excellent guests, as we are every week. To my left is Wired's own Christina Bonington. Hi, Christina.

1:46.0

I'm curious to know if you guys take any extra precautions when you're sending sensitive data or do you just either sort of rely on, you know, what's built into software area, whether it be browsers or mail clients or whether you just also have sort of assumed that it's a lost cause. So how do you

2:08.1

I probably don't do as much as I should in terms of encryption. I mean, in terms of personal security,
