The airbag in my car has informed me it has turned itself off on the dash. I have not responded to a recall. My car is not “connected” to any support services. The dealer told me they can turn anything they want on and off. Think about that.

They apparently have had it for some time now. I’m still using a Galaxy S-4. I’ve recently looked into bone broth to augment nutrition. Now I have bone broth ads popping up constantly on my phone. Time to change phone brands.

More tracking tech - ANDROID PING!

Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.


My take on it: I'm not a fan of cookies and tracking technologies like this. Really Samsung? I dropped my S7 and cracked it (yes, I know I should have had a case on it) and now the volume buttons are not working. I was considering just upgrading early and picking up an S8. However, this kind of BS will make me seriously consider other alternatives. Although I'd bet you good money Apple and Google can (and do) collect similar information. Bottom line: anything you do on a smartphone is probably not private at all.

When I was a kid we were on a party line. If you picked up the phone and your neighbor was talking you could hear it. That was just 5 or 6 neighbors. Now we are on a party line with the entire government apparatus of at a minimum of our country and who knows how vast it is in the business and NGO world. The only difference now you can’t listen to them back and they aren’t polite enough to hang up when the phone is in use like your neighbors were.

Reason 316 why I’m glad to not have a cell phone.

Why pick on Samsung? All smart phones have this capability. This was proven in court years ago in a mobster case that the FBI had this capability. They reluctantly gave testimony to this effect under judges orders.

So, re: listening Samsung phones...what happens if you sit with phone next to a talk radio show?

1984 was a warning, not a plan of action.
