Hot Take:

Google is playing a high-stakes game of "Whack-a-Mole" with spammers. Armed with its new tool, RETVec, Google is taking a swing at spam emails in an attempt to give them the old heave-ho from our inboxes. It's like a bouncer for your Gmail, but instead of booting out rowdy drunks, it's tossing out shady characters trying to sneak in invisible letters and LEET substitutions. And with over 100 languages supported, it's a polyglot bouncer at that!

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.
