Exactly. LLMs don't understand semantically what the data means, it's just how often some words appear close to others.

Of course this is oversimplified, but that's the main idea.

I have Kiwix (offline versions of Wikipedia and other online resources) and Linkwarden (preserve specific websites in multiple formats) running on my home server.

Exactly... And then banned them for something they did on a different community. It's crazy to have such little power and still abuse it.

Keepass is exactly that. Basically all the client side parts, and the database is a single encrypted file that you can sync however you want.

I was hired to implement a CRM for an insurance company to replace their current system.

Of course no documentation or functional requirements where provided, so part of the task was to reverse engineer the current CRM.

After a couple of hours trying to find some type of backend code on the server, I discovered the bizarre truth: every bit of business logic was implemented in Stored Procedures and Triggers on a MSSQL database. There were no frontend code either on the server, users have some ActiveX controls installed locally that accessed the DB.

The art of the deal: Remove your own leverage and then try to use it to negotiate.

So basically all ads... I agree

As you said, not every one of the 1000 board/unboard on the same stop. So, let's analyze your 100 per stop figure: The modern (subway) trains that I use daily can carry 1000 people, are roughly 120m long, and have 18 double doors per side. That's like 6 people per door, totally doable.

That was my first thought. Since when boycotting (aka not choosing) something is illegal?

As NotJustBikes pointed out multiple times, we have the idea that cities are loud, but it's actually cars that are loud.

Once I heard “He has some sugar in the tank” referring to a gay guy. It absolutely cracked me, couldn’t stop laughing for minutes.

Can't confirm it, but I remember reading that it also has a "duress" PIN that you can use if being forced to unlock, that erases the entire phone.

He probably thinks that the entire application is only one source file

There's nothing wrong with sunscreen in general, but they are probably referring to what happened recently in Australia:

Independent analysis by a trusted consumer advocacy group has found that several of Australia's most popular, and expensive, sunscreens are not providing the protection they claim to, kicking off a national scandal.

Totally agree.
Broadcast TV shows where designed with advertising in mind because it was the only way to monetize it at the time (except for tax-funded of course).
When cable TV started, one of their selling points was that it didn't have ads, at least on the "cable-native" channels.
But after a while, they started putting ads everywhere, and that of course lead to the shitty experience that made a lot of people "cut the wire" when streaming services started.

I'm wondering what's the next thing that will replace streaming, and eventually repeat the cycle.

I think BLE is only required for the initial compromise (extracting the pairing key). After that the attack can be performed over classic BT, and can impersonate either part (headphones or phone) to the other.
It's still very targeted and sophisticated, so no reason to panic unless you have reasons to think someone with the resources could target you.
Regarding the attacks, they go way beyond eavesdropping calls, since BT headphones usually have access to contacts and smart assistants, that you can use to extract a lot more information

My bank's app has way less functionality than the web version, but it's used as a second factor to auth some operations, so I have to use both.

Yes , that's how I run it in my Proxmox. Just create the lxc, wget the installer and run it.

It's not only salaries:

about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.
