Nothing quite as romantic as the Munich.

I wonder whether the Munich Security Conference is going to have weird sort of German chocolates with flowers.

Oh, God, I hope not.

I bet they will.

I really hope not.

I bet they will.

Anyway, let's take a break.

And then there's some cultural plugging I'd like to do after the break.

So February is when routines take over.

We drift back into doing serious things online, but in places that are convenient rather than careful.

Stations, cafes, hotels, moments where the margin for error with your data quietly creeps back in.

NordVPN also includes Threat Protection Pro, which acts like a cyber bodyguard that quietly helps block malicious links and checks downloads.

Particularly useful in February, when inboxes fill up with expense claims, half-term travel and ticket confirmations.

It simply removes the assumption that everything is safe by default.

One NordVPN account covers up to 10 devices.

Or install it on your router and protect the whole household.

This episode is brought to you by Whoop.

And listen, I'm wearing the Whoop now.

OK, so I actually use this device.

Shoshana particularly really loves it.
