People used to be opposed to espionage ... now many rely on espionage devices.
By now, we should not be surprised by the devil's devices.
I bought a cheaper Fire with ads 8 or so years ago. Some months ago, the ads disappeared.
I don’t know about the newer Fires, but I just keep my wifi off unless I’m on the internet or shopping Amazon. Does your device not have a way to turn off your interent connection? And are you really turning it off rather than just putting it in sleep mode?
Is that a one-time $15 to remove ads forever, or $15 a month, or $15 a year?
it has always been that way. a fire tablet is a marketing device that leads you right into the amazon sales funnel.
they all but tell you that going in.
You're welcome.
I have a ROKU TV and use the Amazon app on it - haven’t seen such ads....yet.
I called Amazon about all the clutter on my Fire. They first tried to get the 15 bucks, then removed the ad crap no charge.
I bought my Kindle HD with the allowed ads because it was cheaper. They didn’t cause a problem until they started using videos which kept freezing my screen, and I’d have to shut the thing down and start all over again. This went on for a while, then I called their customer support number and explained the problem I was having. The woman I spoke to disabled the ads on my Kindle. That was well over a year ago, and even after updates, I still have no ads showing up.
They are accessing it when you power down? Put it in a Faraday cage. Otherwise known as a steel cookie tin with metal tape around the seams. I bet they won’t tamper with it then.
You’re just parino]]]]]]]##$*&^^ **(.... **()(_*&^&^%^$$^%&
So now they know I use my Kindle to listen to the Mark Levin Show?
Guess I’ll see you fellas at the gulag.
Three years ago I bought a Moto phone from Amazon. It was $50 off for the agreement to accept ads. It was a nuisance for awhile until I discovered that the ad window could be put on the 3rd page of the phone where I almost never see it.
There is a Youtube video which shows how to install a Rasberry Pi on your network to block ALL ads on all devices.
Its on my next list of networking “things to do”
Also consider going to a more advanced network
I’ve moved to Unibiqui for the entire house and love it.
I have a Kindle and it has been showing me ads for new books for a while.
The interesting thins is that I have the WI_FI turned off so it should not have any internet connection. However, I get ads for 2020 book releases.
Hmmm!
Just remember kids this they’re spying on me crap has been around for a long time and you got to consider the fact that A nobody cares about your life or what you’re doing a and B there’s nobody to do the spying
I was going to suggest this person put their fire tablet in their microwave overnight (just don’t forget it’s there... if turned on your tablet would be fried)...
But I tried that this morning to see if I could cut off the internet connection and it didn’t work. Seems my microwave has a leak...
On YouTube there are videos showing how to remove the ads for free.
The camera is on and recording. All audio too as well.
Start talking about say Boats and Fishing and see what ads pop up.
