For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

I call this one forbidden knowledge because I see it so little in public, but I’m sure it’s well known in privacy communities: A password like “I have this really secure password that I type into computers sometimes” is a much stronger and easier to memorize password than “aB69$@m”. It seems more often than not I find networks where the SSID is a better password than the WPA key.
