    Data privacy refers to the right of individuals to have control over their personal information and the expectation that this data will be handled responsibly. It is about ensuring that sensitive data—such as health records, financial details, identification numbers, and online activity—is not accessed or shared without consent. This concept is not new, but it has taken on a whole new level of urgency in the digital era. With data becoming a key currency in the global economy, companies often collect more information than is necessary, and in many cases, users are unaware of what they are agreeing to when they accept privacy policies or terms of service. 
    The evolution of privacy has mirrored the advancement of technology. In the early days, privacy was mainly about physical spaces—having the right to keep personal matters behind closed doors. But now, with the explosion of digital platforms, privacy concerns have expanded into the virtual realm. This shift has brought new challenges, such as how to manage consent in online environments, what responsibilities companies have to protect user data, and how individuals can regain some control over their personal information in a landscape designed to collect and monetize it.

    Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
     
     
     
    Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
     
     
     
    This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

    Cybersecurity is a critical aspect of the modern world, ensuring the protection of our digital information and systems from various threats. As technology continues to evolve, so do the methods employed by cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity, at its core, involves the practices, technologies, and policies designed to safeguard digital data, networks, and devices from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. 
    In today’s digital age, cybersecurity has become more important than ever. With the widespread use of the internet for personal, financial, and business purposes, the risks associated with cyber threats are ever-present. Cyberattacks can come in many forms, including hacking, phishing, malware, ransomware, and more, with potential consequences ranging from identity theft and financial loss to the compromise of sensitive business data. These threats are not limited to large corporations or government organizations; individuals, small businesses, and even educational institutions are all at risk. The importance of understanding and implementing effective cybersecurity practices cannot be overstated, as the consequences of neglecting security can be severe. 
    To better understand cybersecurity, it’s essential to grasp the various types of threats that exist. Cybercriminals use a wide range of techniques to gain unauthorized access to systems or information. Hacking, for example, involves exploiting vulnerabilities in software or networks to steal data or disrupt services. Phishing, on the other hand, is a social engineering attack where attackers deceive individuals into providing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details, through fake emails or websites. Malware, which includes viruses and ransomware, is another common threat, infecting devices and causing damage to data or locking users out of their systems until a ransom is paid.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Decision-making in the cockpit has a direct relationship with the safety of operations. But not only does it affect pilots of all levels, but it also involves many more people involved in the process. 
    	Decision-making is a process, and as such, it requires a series of logical steps to achieve the goal. This process occurs unconsciously in our brain in a fraction of a second. As human beings, we constantly make decisions, we decide what to eat, what clothes to wear, with which hand we caress our hair, or simply on which side we turn our heads when we hear a sound and react to this stimulus. All these actions are preceded by an unconscious process of the brain where in a fraction of a second all the options were analyzed and the most appropriate one was chosen. 
    	In aviation, the pilot constantly makes operational decisions, from the first hour of flight to the last at the end of his career. In this work, we will analyze all the variables that could affect the decision-making process, seeking to learn the tools to minimize the error during this process. An indispensable book for every pilot, regardless of their level of experience.
