The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned Americans against using foreign-developed mobile applications, particularly those created by Chinese developers. In a public service announcement (PSA) issued via its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) platform this Tuesday, the FBI warned of privacy and data security risks associated with these apps. “As of early 2026, many of the most downloaded and top-grossing apps in the United States are developed and maintained by foreign companies, particularly those based in China,” the bureau warned. “The apps that maintain digital infrastructure in China are subject to China’s extensive national security laws, enabling the Chinese…
When choosing which LLM to use, it was quite simple at the beginning. ChatGPT was the clear and obvious front-runner for general use when I began using one daily, so when it became time to purchase a subscription, ChatGPT Plus was what I went with. It had my conversation history, non-identifying logs from my home lab, and I was familiar with how to prompt it to get what I wanted. I would sometimes put the same prompt into Anthropic’s Claude, just to see what it would say, but besides that, my AI usage has been largely limited to local LLMs…

Google’s John Mueller responded to a question about whether core updates roll out in stages or follow a fixed sequence. His answer offers some clarity about how core updates are rolled out and also about what some core updates actually are. Question About Core Update Timing And Volatility An SEO asked on Bluesky whether core updates behave like a single rollout that is then refined over time or if the different parts being updated are rolled out at different stages. The question reflects a common observation that rankings tend to shift in waves during a rollout period, often lasting several…
Subscription fatigue is real. More so with the ever-increasing cost of subscriptions. Lately, I’ve been wondering why I am paying an overwhelming amount of money every month for streaming services that just remove my favorite shows, or apps whose only purpose is to store my data better. Add to that constant restrictions like region limits, pricing tiers and the constant pressure that access can be revoked at any point. However, as an avid self-hosting enthusiast, I know there’s a better solution. I’ve been replacing all my subscriptions one by one with open source alternatives that I can run myself, on…
