If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.

“Free” services aren’t really free — you’re not paying with money, but with your data.

What data?
• Your Browsing history
• Your Location
• Your Device info
• Your Habits

Are you okay with that?

Navigating the AI Landscape: Control and Privacy
Artificial Intelligence has quickly gone from a buzzword to a background presence in daily life. It writes suggestions in your email drafts, answers customer service chats, and even decides which posts you see first on social media. The problem is, most people never stop to ask an important question: Who’s really in control here? The truth is, AI can be one of the most powerful tools you’ll ever use — but it can also quietly turn you into the product if you’re not careful.

It would take a desktop PC approximately 3718234074674426000 year(s) to crack your #password!

I think my password should be pretty secure. How would your password stand up?

(let me clarify don't put your actual password into any "tester" site but use something that would be similar to it)
Password Tester | Test Your Password Strength | Bitwarden
Bitwarden offers the most trusted password tester tool to ensure your password strength will protect your online information. Completely free and easy to use.

Copy-paste warriors: On Windows, hit Windows + V to open Clipboard History. It saves your last few copied items so you can grab that thing you copied 10 minutes ago without digging for it again. Just turn it on once—then copy like a boss forever.

Accidentally closed something important? On Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, go to “App history,” and find what was recently running. You might catch the app before it fully quits—like catching a dish mid-fall.

Fat-fingered a word? On #iPhone, hold down the spacebar and your keyboard becomes a touchpad. Slide your thumb to move the cursor exactly where you want—no more tap-tap-tap frustration. It’s the hidden power move for fixing typos fast.

#iPhone users: Ever type a long message and delete it by mistake? Just shake your phone like you're mad at it—boom, “Undo Typing” pops up. Shake again to redo. It’s like rage control with a side of time travel. Bonus: Works in Notes, Mail, and Messages.
