Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".
For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

TIL, again, the power of good terminology. I was struggling to explain how we provide support for plugins @Raincode.
Then I remembered the 'entry point' and 'bootstrap method' terminology, and the clouds parted, the sky was blue, the sun shone, and I had a happy day.

Aargh. Got bit by a one-off error again.
I guess that's what happens when you mix COBOL (1-based indexing) and C# (0-based indexing) code.
Yes, my life is that weird.
