Spanish proverb of the day on ingratitude, betrayal and expectation: ‘Raise crows and they will pluck out your eyes’

'Raise crows and they will pluck out your eyes' More than a proverb, this is a warning passed down through generations about expecting ingratitude when you pour your kindness into the wrong place. The image is unsettling. A person nurtures a young crow, feeding and protecting it until it grows strong. Yet instead of gratitude, the bird turns against its benefactor and attacks the very eyes that once watched over it.The proverb has survived for centuries because it expresses a painful reality of human relationships: kindness does not always inspire gratitude. Sometimes the people we help, teach, support, or raise become the source of our deepest disappointments.Is helping others dangerous?At first glance, the proverb may appear cynical. It seems to suggest that helping others is dangerous. Yet its true lesson is more nuanced. It is not a condemnation of generosity. Rather, it is a caution about human nature, expectations, and the complex relationship between kindness and loyal..

License plate cameras can track your AirPods, smartwatch, and more, disturbing study finds

Some license plate cameras equipped with special sensors can collect a lot more information about drivers than previously thought, according to a new report.
One product, defense contractor Leonardo's SignalTrace system — which produces sensors that can be fitted to existing license plate readers — can collect unique identifiers attached to phones, AirPods, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, according to 404Media.
That would potentially allow law enforcement the ability to not only collect a license plate and identify who the car is registered to, but also collect information identifying the driver and anyone else in the car carrying a phone or similar device.
SignalTrace also advertises that it can detect non-contact RFID devices, like air-pressure sensors, work badges, or even pet microchips.
“The data collected shows what group of devices are travelling together,” according to Leonardo's website. “As part of investigations, algorithms can determine which specific mix..

US visa denied: ‘Have you watched yesterday’s FIFA match?’

A Redditor shared US visa interview (tourist visa) experience in Delhi. An individual wants a tourist visa to the US to watch the FIFA final. The visa officer asks him whether he watched last night's match. The answer is negative. Then the visa officer asks whether he watched any match at all. No is again the answer. And no prize to guess that the applicant's visa application is denied. A Redditor shared his visa interview experience at the Delhi Consulate, where his visa was approved, but he witnessed several rejections in front of him and revealed how obvious those rejections were, as the applicants were not convincing about their purpose of travel — like the sports fan who did not watch any match but wanted to travel to the US to watch the final.The Redditor cited another case where the applicant said he wanted to spend 3 days in New York and 4 days in Chicago. He was asked why he chose New York. The applicant said 'because it's famous'. The visa applicatio..
