Were You One of The 16 Billion!?


GD Tech Nerds.

It's been a minute, right? But we're back with some tasty morsels for you, especially if you're paying too much for your current data plan (spoiler: you are; 90% of people are).

We also witnessed the biggest data breach in recorded history; some 16 billion credentials were exposed.

Time to get yourself a password manager.

Here's what's been cookin' this week.

F*ck Big Carrier Fees, Get Your Data For Less

Check out all the options here.
