Yeah I remember that, and it seems like the military was very hush-hush about the cause. Now I wonder if they were hacked too.

I have the same issue but regarding paying for groceries. I have to pay more because I don't have access to the grocery store's coupon app because I don't use a smartphone.

Edit: I think I'd prefer this website to be audio only. I don't appreciate the AI generated imagery, because of how poorly it represent the content it's describing.

This is actually really useful to me, thanks! I often skip reading interesting articles because it's either too technical or because my eyes have had enough for the day. Listening to a summary video like this is a great solution!
