A Goodwill Bins is coming to my town. Advice needed

I’ve never been to a Bins because I’ve never lived close to one until now. To those who have, what advice do you have? What’s there to know? How are they different than regular thrifting? How are they different than a regular Goodwill?

Now I know the basic idea of them. They are the leftovers and you have to look in these huge bins for things. You need to dress appropriately meaning grub clothes and gloves.

What else?

No longer receiving authentication text messages

I have gone through troubleshooting on my end and nothing is blocked. It appears these are the next steps. I need a technician to:

  1. Confirm there is no Short Code SMS Block or Spam Filter active on your account.
  2. Ask the representative to "refresh" or "re-sync" your device on the network. This resets your profile on their switchboard and resolves this specific problem for the vast majority of users.

Can you help me?

How is identity compromised when using AI tools?

I understand that anything you share with an open AI tool such as ChatGPT goes into the collective. You wouldn't want to, for example share research or proprietary content because it is being released to the masses. I understand that. What I do not understand is let's say a person discusses their impending divorce with a chat tool. They need to just vent about the process, they might admit things they have done that were not good to their partner. I'm hearing a lawyer discuss how they had a case where this kind of information was used against this person in court.

So, how? How was their AI vent connected to this person? Wouldn't you need to know their IP address? Wouldn't they have to self identify maybe by uploading pictures without scrubbing location?

If a person uses an AI just to chat without ever sharing pictures, their name, or anything specific about them, how can someone else figure out who posted whatever in an AI?

After bad storm my WiFi won’t connect from my cpap

It’s working just fine otherwise. I tried unplugging it, turning on airplane mode then back again. Nothing is working. The WiFi bars have a line through them on my Air 11.

My wifi is up and connected to all other devices. My phone with full bars sitting right next to my cpap, cannot connect. The app has not connected since before the bad storm on Wednesday so my sleep data stops. I can though see my sleep data on the machine so it’s tracking correctly. It’s just not sharing it with the app.

What am I forgetting to try?
