Hot Take:

Stepping onto a bus or train isn't just a simple commute anymore - it's more like a walk through a cyber minefield. The OMNY tap-and-go system, New York MTA's latest brainchild, might have made commuting a breeze, but it also opened Pandora's box of cyber risks. So, next time you tap that card, remember, you're not just paying for your ride, you're also potentially buying a ticket to a data breach. Welcome to the future, folks!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
