when you are chatting with AI (chatgpt, gemini, claude, etc.), do you delete the chats after? I mean some convos can be private and I wouldn't like anyone to find them

also, does deleting the chat means that you delete that information from AI history as well? because most of the time even if I am opening a new chat the history of my previous chats affects the convos when asking new questions

does deleting the chats with AI means I am deleting them from the chat history as well?

I am form US and I want to set up surfshark acc on a macbook pro running macOS. looking for any working surfshark coupon code I could use in 2026?

every time I go to the checkout page to get the 2 year plan, the total price seems higher than expected. also, none of the discounts I have tried so far seem to work

Does anyone have a valid surfshark coupon code or know which creator code currently works at checkout for surshark plans?

as a regular online shopper in US, I've been looking into identity theft protection after hearing about several recent data breaches. I wanted to see if paying for one of these services actually provides enough value compared to just monitoring my accounts myself

most of my browsing and online banking happens on a Windows 11 laptop, and I also check my financial accounts from an Android phone. I've been reviewing different approaches to monitoring my personal information and keeping an eye on suspicious activity in the US.

From what I've seen, there are a lot of features that sound useful, like alerts for unusual account activity and notifications if personal information shows up where it shouldn't. at the same time, it's difficult to tell which features actually make a difference and which ones are just marketing. I haven't had my identity stolen, so I don't have any real way to judge how effective these services would be.

I first tried relying on strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and regularly checking my bank and credit card statements. While that helps, it still feels like I could miss something important if my information were exposed somewhere I wasn't aware of. I also expected it to be easy to compare different identity protection options, but the information online is all over the place and often contradicts itself.

for those of you who have looked into identity theft protection or had to deal with identity theft, what has actually worked for you, and is it worth taking extra steps beyond the usual security practices in 2026?

I don't have a spotify subscription so I am using it for free and sometimes I can't choose the song which will play next because I don't have a subscription. and it gets very annoying, so I was thinking if its possible to download the songs in spotify and listen to them however I want?

I was trying to download some songs but I wasn't able to figure out how to do it so I need some advice on that. is it even possible to download the songs if I am using free spotify?

this means people won't need to share their phone number anymore in order to be in contact with others

TL;DR UK prime minister Keir Starmer has given Apple, Google and other tech firms until September 2026 to roll out nudity-detection software on children's phones and tablets. blocking kids from taking, sending or viewing explicit images. If they don't comply, the government will legislate, with potential fines and criminal liability for senior managers

this would make the UK the first country to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images. Adults could still do so after age verification.

neither Apple nor Google currently has OS-wide nudity blocking. Apple is rolling out age checks and Google added nude-image blurring and warnings last year

I am a student in Singapore using an iphone, ipad, and macbook for research, and I wanted my notes to appear on all three devices the second I am writting something down

I have iphone 15 pro (ios 18), ipad air m2 (ipados 18), macbook pro m3 (macos sequoia), all signed in with the same Apple ID. I enabled icloud notes on every device and used the default apple notes app and no third-party stuff.

once icloud notes was toggled on across all three, sync was nearly instant a note typed on the iphone in a café showed up on the macbook within 5 seconds when I got home. Handoff also let me start a note on iphone and continue on Mac with one click in the dock. Folders, pinned notes, and tags all synced cleanly.

but one note with a large scanned PDF attached refused to sync for almost an hour

does cross-device note syncing still hold up reliably in 2026, or are you seeing the same delaying issues on big attachments? any tricks to speed it up?

research shows that this kind of technology is possible and could improve over time

so are you telling me that wifi will be able to spy on us? like we already don't have enough of privacy issues

>Texas said that for years, Netflix has ​falsely represented to consumers that it did not collect or share user data, when ​it actually tracked and sold viewers' habits and preferences to commercial data ⁠brokers and advertising technology companies, making billions of dollars a year.

is there even one site that doesn't track user's habits and sell info for commercial pusposes lol
