People over 65 years old and patients with chronic illnesses have their flu vaccinations covered by public health insurance, while others must pay for it themselves, with prices ranging from 600 to 700 crowns, and contributions from insurers vary, with the highest being 1,000 crowns for insured persons of certain insurers, but they can also be used for other vaccinations, which can be problematic. #očkování #chřipka #zdravotnictví (translated)

Tomas Kapler wrote that the company Apate has built a fleet of approximately 350,000 AI agents who impersonate trusting individuals and communicate with scammers for as long as possible. According to him, they gather information such as bank account numbers, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, phone numbers, and details about fraudulent websites and scenarios used. The company passes this data on to banks, telecommunications operators, and other institutions. Kapler reported that Apate has recorded over 2.5 million conversations with scammers, which together took about 17 years, and obtained more than 250,000 intelligence data points. He mentioned examples such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which, according to him, saw publicly reported fraud losses drop by 76% after implementing the system, and TPG Telecom, which redirected nearly 590,000 suspicious calls to Apate's agents. One other Australian bank, according to his post, broke up 22 fraudulent campaigns based on the information obtained. He added that the company secured $8.15 million in a seed round in August 2026, just shy of $10 million in total, and planned to expand into London and the United States. Kapler also wrote that Apate expected the proliferation of AI among scammers would lead them to spend more time communicating with its agents instead of potential victims. Finally, Kapler asked whether a similar system would work in Czech. He noted that Czech models may not be as advanced, but older individuals might not regard any mishearing or misunderstanding as a sign of artificial intelligence. He also mentioned that fraudulent AI farms from India, China, Russia, and Ukraine might not recognize such a deception. #AI #podvodníci #technologie (translated)

I DON'T KNOW stated that he monitored trading in the USA every day and that the market had behaved unusually over the past two weeks. According to him, the sharp and unpredictable intraday moves were exhausting and tested patience and discipline more than analytical skills. He described an environment that, in his opinion, drove traders out of good positions and lured them into bad ones. He recommended sticking to a long-term plan, avoiding impulsive trades, and protecting capital. He emphasized that not trading can also be a trading decision. He stated that all his larger trades this month involved bonds, which he thought offered a good, low-risk, albeit somewhat boring opportunity. More interesting profit opportunities, he believed, would come soon, but they had not yet arrived; therefore, it was important to maintain sufficient capital. #trading #investice #finančnígramotnost (translated)

The real estate buyer wrote that he had been involved in the real estate market for eleven years and began to publicly present himself under his own name at the end of 2022. In mid-2023, he stated that he started to point out that property prices had already fallen sufficiently, and his team began to buy. A year later, he claimed it turned out that they were buying almost at the bottom of the market. He noted that since the end of 2023, they had been making one acquisition after another and at the same time helped nearly 70 families acquire their own housing. By the end of 2024, he said he started to limit investment purchases because prices were distancing from economic reality and purchasing power. In 2025, he described the market as less rational and began to publicly recommend selling some properties. By the end of the year, according to him, they sold more than they bought, and properties that no longer made sense in terms of returns and costs were mostly sold at peak market prices. The real estate buyer stated that some clients had approved mortgages with a rate around 4.4% and at least a two-year term for drawing. He also wrote that the number of apartments on the public market increased by 35% and mortgage rates reached 5.4%. He added that his experience led him to encourage people to rely on their own judgment when making decisions, but to be prepared to bear the consequences of any mistake. #nemovitosti #investice #realitnítrh (translated)

Lookin wrote that, in his fan opinion, the team had the resources, facilities, and people to be among the best in Central Europe and to regularly play in the Champions League. According to him, the goal should have been to fight for advancement every year, instead of focusing on collecting domestic titles, for which, in his opinion, a few outstanding performances per season were enough, with the results in other matches to be "kicked somehow." He criticized that the team repeatedly promised after the season to also focus on cups, but then, according to him, returned to a cautious playing style. This year, he believed that this would change, partly due to reinforcements and good opening matches in which they played quickly and combinationally. However, he felt that the team subsequently shifted back to a lower gear. In connection with the pursuit of the Champions League, he wrote that Slavia from 2019 would have beaten that opponent 5:0, and Jindra still would not have been satisfied with the performance. He added that losing is possible, but the team should not become a target for mockery. He described the performance from the previous day as outright ridiculous. #fotbal #sport #tým (translated)

Bety Kovac stated that during the night, the operation of the Starlink terminals was limited and when the speed exceeded 160 km/h, connection outages began to occur. According to her, this resulted in the failure to carry out several important missions.

Ondřej Kreml described Slavia's performance in the first half of the match in Baku as a great disappointment. He wrote that nearly all summer signings, in his opinion, played their worst match for the club so far, Provod as a playmaker slowed down the game and lacked movement, Chorý was unnecessary, and the defense appeared chaotic. He also asked whether the team could turn around so many weak performances. #Slavia #fotbal #zklamání (translated)

Vojtěch Boháč criticized Donald Trump for announcing the purchase of diesel from Russia just a few days after new sanctions on Russian energy were approved. He labeled Trump as egocentric and an incompetent leader, comparing his recent actions to those of a chess player who overlooks the opponent's counter-move and gets checkmated. However, after the initial emotions subsided, Boháč considered the recent exchange between Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky to be significant, especially in the context of the upcoming US Congressional elections. According to him, it demonstrated that international politics cannot rely on bravado or the personality of a single leader, but requires an understanding of the other side and the work of experts. This was true for both the USA and for the Czech Republic and the EU. Boháč wrote that promises to end wars and establish ceasefires that exist only on Truth Social, along with the dismissal of experts and their replacement with yes-men, lead to disaster. He also announced a forthcoming commentary in which he wanted to summarize what he believed had transpired. #Trump #politik #mezinárodnípolitika (translated)

Roman M🐦 wrote that Radosław Sikorski called on European allies to close Russian consulates, limit the number of Russian diplomats, and restrict their freedom of movement.

CohenTheBarbarian stated after the recent elections that he sees hope in the fact that figures like Tomio Okamura seem to have an increasingly smaller audience and people are taking the situation more seriously. He described Russia as a threat that should be dealt with accordingly. He called the return of Russian athletes to competitions symbolic, although he admitted it very much irritates him. He deemed it incomprehensible that veterans of the SVO, members of the Wagner group, oligarchs from the arms industry, or politicians he labeled as responsible for the abduction of Ukrainian children can move and live in the Schengen area without control. He also wrote that, in his opinion, Russia is deliberately causing harm while others are unable to even hint at a defense, let alone retaliate. He thanked Koudelka and his colleagues. He mentioned that people were desperately trying to remove him, but he continues with his work, which the author assessed as good. #Rusko #politika #Ukrajina (translated)

Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

"We are concerned that Russia intends to carry out sabotage in Europe. So why on earth do we allow them to enter Europe as tourists who can move around freely?"

He added that, according to Eurostat data, Russia's direct share of imports had declined. https://t.co/lYG15uVpi5 #jadernáenergie #Rusko #obohacováníuranu #RU #EU (translated)
