Even if you never went online, heaps of data about you is collected and sold.

• ALPRs collect and sell your car’s movement and location data.
• Stores you shop at collect identity data and share your purchases and consumer behaviors, even when you pay cash.
• Banks and financial institutions share information about your assets, financial holdings, purchases, and electronic transactions.
• Governments mandate that all sorts of information about you is public.

And if you are online, the “be as anonymous as you can and don’t share your personal data over the internet.” statement makes it sound easy, which is far from true. It’s a constant game of whack-a-mole where one needs incredibly disciplined to compartmentalize and segregate login sessions across browsers and devices. If one isn’t technically skilled and constantly vigilant, it’s a losing battle. That’s why awareness and campaigns that support privacy focused regulation are important.

lol @ the thunbnail… GMO corn is getting crazy.

It’s just Dodger’s fans [pissed|happy] about the big [win|loss].

And Microsoft. Ain’t nobody buying SharePoint because it’s good.

Probably not. Disney has previously announced that they’re gonna stop reporting subscriber numbers in 10Ks and annual reports.

It’s because nobody but Disney has that data, and they stopped sharing sub numbers because it fucks with stock price too much.

Talkin out their ass seems to be Newsweek’s brand identity these days.

If they follow the script, they’ll blame Antifa, Obama, and trans people.

You’re right… it does go a lot deeper. If you’re in the USA, your local community college might have classes. Consider starting with some formal instruction. The problem with YouTube is that you (the one lacking knowledge) has to decide whether the YouTuber knows what they’re doing. There’s a lot of great stuff on YouTube, but there’s plenty of wrong and unsafe stuff too.

Also, avoid super cheap tools for the tools that interface with screws, nuts, and bolts, like wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, hex and torx drivers. Cheap tools make it wasier to damage screw heads and bolts.

Training courses and apprenticeships; there are a lot of specialized tools, techniques, and diagnostic procedures that aren’t obvious. Self guided usually results in doing a lot of things the wrong way.

I don’t use the phone part of my smartphone much, so thie idea of a dumbphone has no real appeal for me.

They should just mandate that the child pornographers set the evil bit. It would save the EU leaders the trouble of learning how cryptography works.
