It should have been called “Palantir”.

I swear something is listening to me. And I don’t have Amazon or Alexa. Maybe it’s my phone.

But I was just discussing something the other day and sure enough I started seeing commercials for it.

My buddies and I all have 8W Baofeng UV-5R radios each programmed with the same file, consisting of FRS, GMRS, MURS, VHF, UHF, SARNET, NOAA and more. These are great radios. And easy to program. All you need is the programming cable, a laptop and free software named “Chirp”. I recommend the whole kit, radio, wired mic, both antennas, prog cable, ear-piece. They usually come with the charger base. I also got the ham radio study guide from arrl and am studying for my ham license.

I’ve heard of the ads popping up when you discuss a topic near your phone or computer. While scary, it’s relatively harmless.

THIS one, however, was scary as f***.

My fitness watch, yesterday, informed me that payday was tomorrow.

What the actual f***.

The only way it could know that — it is linked to my phone — is if it screen scraped my phone banking.

The monitoring we are undergoing is at China-levels.

It's easy enough to disable it.

Either turn Sidewalk off in the app or unplug the damn' things. Both methods work.

NO. As a 34-year veteran RF design engineer, I can tell you that there is NO COMMERCIAL 900 GHz radio. NONE. Anyone telling you that is a LIAR.

Had mesh networking been built into every wireless router, sharing a mere 1% or so of bandwidth, paying for ISPs would be generally moot.

Outside of the wife and phone there’s nothing in our home you can talk too. Computer microphones and cameras are dis-abled. Cortana is disabled. Smart phones both have voice activation and locations disabled. No Alexa, no echo or ring crap.

From other thread; I’d like to know how Alexa and Ring can track me if I don’t have either and some of my neighbors do.

And Amazon’s scheme doesn’t do much good if I treat my smartphone like a landline and it stays home, while I don’t.

Bob Braxton discusses how Amazon sidewalk creates a mesh network that tracks your location whether or not you opt-in as long as you live in an area where Alexa or Ring doorbells are in use even if you don’t have either device.

George Orwell on steroids.

FREEPER thoughts?

We use the simple/cheap wireless doorbells. If we don’t anyone using them, we just unplug the inside ringer or remove the one by the door held there with double sided tape.

However, I do have a question for the computer geniuses.

We use Comcast business as our internet which phased in our old Comcast phones and internet sites.

Starting about 3-4 months ago, our Chromebooks and smart phones started recognizing our HP printer as a wifi site.

Then, whatever chromebook or smart phone is trying to use one of the 7 Comcast wifi sites can’t connect to the internet, and the printer will not work. I have to disconnect the connection and go to a Comcast wifi.

I don’t remember making our HP printer a wifi site. I just did the simple wireless connection as per the instructions.
