they were on a street that is also carries state and u.s. highway designation, just past the municipal boundary. small town here, there literally are no 'subdivisions' or hoa anywhere around.

just walking a mile down a road i haven't been down in years, i spotted two of them. there's been absolutely no local coverage about it.. and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years--not one mention of them.

lastpass is already on my 'stay far away from' list, and have been on it for years:

'hybrid sleep' does write the hibernate file before going into 'sleep mode'. if you have an older system or one that doesn't use 'modern standby' and you have an ssd, you might want to double-check that setting in your power scheme advanced settings.

the culprit is actually probably "fast startup" which writes a hibernate file every shutdown. every "normal" 'shutdown'... close programs, logoff, hibernate, power off. this feature is unnecessary on systems with ssd but it continues to be enabled by default. it was created in the days of old to make hdd systems appear to boot up faster by not actually starting up windows on every power on.

hibernate isn't enabled by default.

the other writer of hibernate data, hybrid sleep, doesn't even exist on a newer system that uses 'modern standby'.. but is enabled by default on desktops that do not.

it was my mom who 'taught' me how to skip ads on tv. we had one of the earliest betamax when i was a kid, she recorded everything she watched and always fast-forwarded through the commercials. that first vcr had dials for channel changing and could only do one scheduled recording.. but it was used a lot

.. my blocking ads is a courtesy so you don't waste your time, cpu cycles, and bandwidth on serving them to me.
