I assume the average person buying the standard model could then just disable WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS if they so chose? So this really is for high security situations?

Time and time again, I prove that I'm human by giving this crap the finger and then visiting some other site. It's calling out a false positive and then exercising good taste.

Gmail turned me off way back when it became obvious that they scanned your email to present relevant advertising. I've paid for email nearly forever (Earthlink, not the most high t…

Just wanted to say that reading all the comments here, I'm getting flashbacks to alt.aol.sucks.

I'll be waiting. In the meantime, I'm currently using a low end Motorola moto g 5G 2023 which lets me turn off Play Services. Chrome and the Google Calendar don't run (really do ne…

I ran into this just tonight. Coincidentally, I also just received an email from IMDB: >> Dear IMDb customer, >> We noticed you haven't signed in to IMDb in over three years, and y…

My gut reaction is that people don't come forward to maintain their bragging rights.

The Lowes cameras are definitely Flock. The look is unmistakable. See https://deflock.org/identify

Same here, but just Lowes stores. That I know of. I surveiled the two local Lowes roughly a month ago and found two cameras not mapped, which I gleefully added myself. Want to send…

Agreed, but this would then inconvenience millions of non-techies. Could a solution be forcing Amazon (and Google and Flock and...) to open their backend software either for self-h…

The 16% of Trump voters who want military action in Iceland was what particularly floored me. Added to the poll, I suspect, to see if people were paying attention...

I was going to say, "at last, something good out of Texas". Maybe you're on to something?

I would like to think incompetence as well, but when the problem is this widespread, IMHO it does point to a corporate issue...even if that's simply leaving too many incompetent ma…

So this means I would get the app-only sale price, without using the app? While doing some research into state retail pricing laws a few years ago, I discovered how tough Massachus…

Better (?) browsers also have an internal switch to disable location.

With a browser, you have the ability to block cookies, block whole hosts/domains, alter DOM content, alter tracking URL's, and (often) disable low level features you don't like. Wi…

As a teenager I worked at a discount store, and sometimes ran the service desk, which (among many other things) involved processing returns. The returns form included a spot for "p…

I held onto Symbian longer than I should have, but am surprised this practice hadn't crossed my path before now. IMHO it's insidious. It's one thing for a Google Street View car to…

I am also not very far away, and used to find myself driving through Parkesburg sometimes. Had no idea it was there! My first computers were user-friendly TRS-80 Model 1's (school)…
