Do you disable the microphone on your mobile phone? Genuinely curious, 'cause it seems that your mobile phone is probably "listening" all the time?
No, but my mobile usually sits turned off in a drawer, unless I need it.
Hell, I usually don't even take it when I go out on errands.
Lived most of my life un-teathered. See no need to put the leash on every day.

You may not be able to escape, but you can mitigate.

<edit> Also, I have disabled the "Bixby" assistant on my Samsung mobile. No idea on how effective that actually is...

Ya, No.
I was in IT security, so things like firewalls were my bag.
Hell I still have a Cisco ASA firewall here at home.
There is no way that I would have one of those things at home.
My stupid rich friend who is a CTO has a bad ass home setup, but it's VERY closed loop. He has the money and effort to build it out for his $10M pad he just built. It's no Google Nest setup. :rofl:

If it ever happens again:

tell me you remember this post from 5 years ago, have been consciously and unconsciously pondering it, the ramifications of the words said, every implication within, and have been formulating the correct response


I'm both vindictive and think this way, and also an idiot so I'll probably buy it ;)

Interesting, but Van Winkle is overhyped.
It's the idea that the head of Oregon liquor was able to get these bottles that were then raffled off for GOP fundraising vs going to a state run liquor store for general purpose. It's an abuse of power at the very least, it also shows blatant political bias.

I would be so owned and triggered if the MAGAs started emigrating to Russia. I can't believe conservatives would want to move there. That is beyond infuriating, as if they couldn't find a new deplorable low to sink to! We need to find a way to stop them!!! Please, no!
could probably find hunter biden's ties to ukraine a little easier....
