They do and it's so dumb. Yes "anyone can edit" but edits are heavily scrutinized and require sources. The teachers prefer you cite a random blog on the internet before Wikipedia. Doesn't make any sense.

The risk of a third-party suddenly ripping out their API is what holds me back from some fun projects. Glad to see all hope is not lost on the fitness side!

Now I hook up a Mac to my TV with the Hue Sync app. Much better experience - I can run the @brave.com browser to block ads on YouTube and easily access local media. Plus don't have to deal with crappy Smart TV interfaces/apps, accessing everything through the web.

Mozilla receives most of their money from Google, and is now abusing your personal data for ad monetization. Firefox is no better than Chrome

DDG just sources its results from big tech.

Please consider @brave.com
search & browser, Mullvad browser, anything other than Firefox

Help recommend my next game to play! I don't have much free time so I need to pick strategically since I only can play 1-2 a year. These are the ones I have:

- Mass Effect
- Resident Evil
- Bioshock
- Witcher 3
- Final Fantasy

Use a password manager and generate/save random answers! That way you don't have to enter any personal info.

Instead of eating, it's now killing: They're killing the dogs. They're killing the cats. They're killing the pets of the people that live there.

Not related to credit freezes. Sounds like you need to be careful where you are entering your card numbers. Use virtual account numbers when possible. privacy.com might be a good service for you.

Not at all. A credit freeze prevents new lines of credit from being opened in your name. A huge way to prevent identity theft. Regardless of who has your SSN (it's probably already leaked somewhere). Just freeze your credit. Do not delay.

Experian, for example, lets you pay them to "lock" your credit. It's stupid. Don't do that. Just freeze your credit with the three bureaus. Freezing your credit is free. www.usa.gov/credit-freeze

What are your opinions on the Apple Card savings account? Currently 3.9% and easy to move money in and out.

I hear this from friends too much! Big refunds are NOT good!

@troyhunt.com I have seen your claims against calling this a cyber attack / breach. Would welcome your thoughts after reading this TechDirt article.
