Whenever some asks ‘What would Jesus do?’ remind them that whipping a bitch is on the table.
We are all in same boat. Ive gotten dozens upon dozens of letters from companies. Most even say, sorry we were hacked 8 months ago. Letting you know all your personal info was stolen.
I’m sure my social security number, work history, previous addresses, relatives, cars I owned, houses…probably how many times I shit per day also.
Just keep your credit permanently frozen until you need it. Keeps credit card offers from your mailbox also…
Anonymity is impossible with enough data to put together a profile.
Improve user experience?
I don’t give a flying fuck if a web page loads .5 seconds faster.
What u care about is an interface that works, has labels instead of symbols, that doesn’t change every month trying to be more minimalist.
A bank website doesn’t need my browser history or my charges to Amex or what pets I have or what car I drive or the color of my bedroom. But they want all that and a mobile phone number to tie it all up with a common index. VoIP numbers are refused because they change too often.
That’s what pisses me off
Going swimming during summer months counts as a bath, right?
True. Even government websites refuse to verify you over a VoIP line.
What’s frustrating is that most sites want your phone number. Even though it’s less secure than totp, but that sweet sweet data using your phone number as a common index is irresistible
Can’t you just snip the OnStar wires?
There’s always DVDs of this stuff… Doesn’t have to be online.
They make you buy the machine… The data is collected for doctor review, but instead of letting me use the open FOSS reporting, it’s encrypted so that I can’t see my own data.
After that experience I’m certain sleep apnea machines are a huge insurance racket. 45 dollars for a replacement plastic tube…lol
For example, my sleep apnea machine had a wifi for home and a LTE modem. Data gathered by the machine was sent off-site…no reports available on the host. Privacy policy read it would gather info, run diagnostics on itself and the local network without explanation of what it was doing.
My sleep data could not be viewed by me, only through the 3rd party, so I ripped out the wifi board and LTE chip. I haul the machine into my doctor office so he can cycle through data on the tiny display.
He hates it, but I remind him he picked the machine without asking me if I agreed to to the data collection.
So many devices come with those now… I open up my products and remove the card, the antenna, or the whole board if possible.
Most of society doesn’t understand or doesn’t care.
