Another day, another deal. This time, we’re looking at the Alienware 15, which is currently available on Dell’s website with a steep discount. How steep? How does $1,500 off the usual asking price sound? So, here’s the thing. I know that a laptop retailing for slightly more than $2,000 isn’t cheap – not by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps it’s better to say that it’s really good value, especially when you consider it previously retailed for over $3,500. Anyway, let’s get into tech specifics.

As of May 2019, over 20 US states have introduced bills seeking to regulate data privacy, data security, or some combination of the two. While many of these bills agree in spirit (i.e. privacy good, data collection and usage bad), the various bills are decidedly more divergent as to how to accomplish these objectives.
