I am curious what people have in their homes for filtering drinking water....

Right now, I’m just using a standard Brita pitcher, but honestly, I'm tired of constantly refilling it, and usually it doesnt last too long if household is having a hot day. Waiting for it to slowly drip down after the refill, and replacing filters every month is getting old. Plus, I’ve been reading up on microplastics, and heavy metals, and I'm pretty sure my basic pitcher isn't doing much against those..

I want to upgrade to a more serious system, but the options out there are overwhelming. I’m trying to figure out what the sweet spot is between cost, maintenance, and actually getting clean, great-tasting water. Naturally, seeking something potentially faster, or in higher quantities than Brita can offer. Brita is fine but after using it for long.. I need other options to say the least as I am seeing the wear on our Brita.

Are most of you guys running a reverse osmosis system? I’ve seen some highly rated ones on Amazon, but I’ve heard they can be a pain to install, and some report it wasting a lot of water too. This might be conspiracy theory but some say that it can strip out ALL the good minerals making the water taste flat. Is the plumbing maintenance worth it, or is there something better between reverse osmosis and a basic pitcher?

So in the past as many wearables took advantage of...organizations could pass a HIPAA audit by having a "risk analysis" document sitting in a company binder. The OCR has formally announced it is shifting from checking if you know your risks to penalizing you if you haven't actively managed them

So... would this trend mean that future health technologies will have to be more strict over the regulation demand when releasing new patented devices?

For engineers and innovators and even people investing into future tech, compliance can no longer be an afterthought handled by the legal team at launch. If a device collects, stores, or transmits electronic protected health information(aka ePHI for fellow nerds😎), it must be built with a secure-on-release base. This means features like zero-trust access, automated audit logs, and hardcoded encryption at rest and in transit are no longer premium features, they should be the baseline for production

I think in May ORC recently published some agenda... I wonder how future wearables are going to be influenced, and even the startups trying to stand on their feet now. Has anyone read through the stuff yet? I been stuck watching some tv shows....😅 Whatever that document entails is set to be finalized sometime at the end of the year which will force companies to comply

This would be a question for anyone working, or had been working in the past as cyber security analysts.. What sort of routine tasks do you guys get?

I get it when it comes to auditing a company. You probably have a checkmark set to go through, though theres probably smaller tasks that are more commonly dealt with? I used to work with information sorting in SQL and noticed that I picked up touch typing quite well recently, so sort of wondering of potential work prospects to get on and if Id even make the cut..

Might need to pick up a course, as I reckon having a base understanding of SQL is not enough for proper security auditing work, yet theres probably some sort of junior tasks seniors feel brain-numbed dealing with that it left to interns?
