GDPR Compliance Strategy

Owning a website really sucks; over the years there has been many changes to standards and compliance from governments and organizations. Tring to comply with the changes is a real pain. First websites had to comply with better designs to fit all screen sizes or Google won’t list your site. Then accessibility, or the disabled may file a human rights complaint against you. Then Google has a lot of rules about acceptable content for advertising. Now it’s the European Union (EU) bullying foreign websites to comply with their laws. And then there is this thing called cookie consent. With all these demands, why would anybody want to make a website; this must be a big reason why people choose social media instead. However, I am still committed and I will comply. I have developed a compliance strategy.

WiFi Range 900ft with TP-Link Routers

2018, I was approached by a tourist living in the neighborhood. He will be living in Canada for six months and he couldn’t get internet service. He was unable to signup for an account due to not having a permanent address. He offered to pay for everything, however, he didn’t want to invest in proper equipment. The challenge was to get a WiFi single over 900ft, approximately a quarter of a kilometer away. I told him it was a long shot, however, it hasn’t been tried with modern routers. We were successful at 950 feet.
