“Actually effective, but extreme:
- Not carrying the devices — the only certain solution
- Using wired headphones exclusively (no RF signature)
- Dumb watch, no fitness tracker, physical keys — a lifestyle regression most people won’t accept”
All three of these points apply to me, though I consider them normal behavior and not “extreme”. My lack of electronic signature is probably a signature in itself.
I have a faraday bag I carry and when not using my phone for a necessity it goes in the bag. Computer at home gets turned on once in a blue moon and when off unplug from the cat 5. No smart watch or earbuds. I had a mechanic friend disconnect all tracking and gps from my truck a couple years ago.
No I leave my phone behind a lot. My watch is mechanical.
Have a key for the car, although it does have an alarm to unlock the doors. I assume that only transmits when I press the button.
When I changed the tires, the idiots messed up the tire sensors.
Well, I do have a smartphone and a key fob. And a TV remote.
And go dark bags. Everything else is wired.
Considering moving to Linux. And changing my email service.
