I live in Europe and SMS is very much relevant as unlimited number is included in my subscription fee. Data, on the other hand, is capped, so it definitely makes sense to use SMS.

Exactly. Prices for digital content is insane. 5$ for American might be pocket money, but in some developing country that's still considerable amount of money and despite that, distributors charge the same. A good example is Netflix -

In supermarkets tomatoes are usually sold not ripened fully (for a longer shelve life). Keeping them in a warm, bright place will ripe them more and taste improves slightly.

That's only because more people have summer houses there (it's a tradition in most/all Eastern Europe) and grow vegetables themselves, so it's easier to come by naturally grown ones. Buy generic tomatoes from a supermark

While in principle I agree, I'm afraid that when it comes to supermarket goods, they are really tasteless and age has nothing to do here. Do a simple experiment: get generic strawberries from a supermarket and fresh ones from a garden.

I'm pretty sure no AV would help against targeted attacks on high profile target. If you have multi-million business to secure, you play at totally different risk model.

I still don't see why AV should scan websites . Get AD blocker + javascript blocker (with whitelist for trusted sites) and AV to scan local files. MITM'ing TLS makes more troubles and potential dangers than it solves.
