I am pretty sure that most of them are honest, but what's there to prevent me from setting up a good useful site and stealing all your data? Call me paranoid - I am."

I think we can all agree this was ahead of it's time considering the state of things on the net now.

I have an older Sony Bravia tv that’s branded “smart” but is connected only to cable, not internet. If I want to stream something, I plug in chromecast, then remove it when the show is finished.

I need a new tv but have no desire for Google to track me. Can these tvs be used without an internet connection?

Couldnt figure out why our usage was up in the last two months. The only real change is that we got a firestick. After doing some checking its clear that the firestick never really shuts off unless you actually unplug it. At the best it's transmitting 20 kB/s. At worst some people report that its pushed their usage up into the 10's of GB per month... who knows what its doing behind the scenes but the remote has voice control so its like all other free or cheap tech from Amazon. Its NOT protecting your privacy. Or your data limits.

Some context my parents are considering using GPS trackers on my siblings and there is a chance they pick Samsung

Air guard only finds airtags and tile

What can I use to find Samsung ones

So I had an institution that insisted on using Plaid to link my bank. I happen to get notification from my bank whenever there is a log in attempt on my account. I can see that plaid is logging into my account several times a day. Any idea why they are doing this ? What they are looking for that they need to be logging in so frequently ?

my friend let me use his visa card i don’t really have a problem with if it was able to see my purchases but does it show where it was purchased from? as he has the code too. not nesscarily a problem with him specifically but gives me the creeps if it tracks the location i bought it from

Can other apps in the background collect browsing data from the app I'm currently using? I don't think so, but I've heard that.

Hello there,

I’ve recently begun using IronVest for maxing my phone number, credit card and email. So far I am pleased with the results. However, one thing I am annoyed with is the masked credit card feature. In particular what happens when one masked card runs out of funds.

Now, this may be a silly question, but is there a way to reimburse a masked card when it’s original funds run out? Those of us know when creating a masked card you original card is charged a certain amount and then filled. I don’t see anyway of refilling the masked cars when the original funds for it run low. Do I really have to create a new card each time the money for the masked one runs out? Because if so that is a huge inconvenience. Certainly there must be a way to put down more money into the masked card already created instead of having to keep on creating new ones.

If there is can anyone tell me how I do that? Because I don’t see any option for restocking the $$$ supply when the amount on the card runs low.

Hello, I've been using bitwarden for nearly 6 months now and i really like it, however the UI is just not very nice which is not a dealbraker however if there are other apps that have similar security with better UI I'd rather choose them. And this is where i found 1Password. So far I've migrated all my passwords over to them and the experience has been great so far however I'm still debating whether or not i should use BW instead. 1PW has all the features baked into the app itself such as data breach scanner etc. Whereas BW only has it in their web vault. Next is security, both use SHA-256 encryption which is good but 1PW has the secret key to it's advantage. In terms of open source that is one of the reasons i choose BW in the first place, along with the great price it has. 1PW is not open source however I'm willing to use it because of the great track record they have with audits and breaches. Is there anything else that i should take into consideration?

In January, I lost access to my Microsoft Teams and Outlook apps on my phone because work moved to a new system where they want control of a partition of my device using a Microsoft app called Intune. I tested on a backup device and it seems to do a good job keeping work and personal apps separate. How far should I trust Microsoft that they cannot send personal data to my employer?

I am considering installing because it's helpful for me to stay connected with work when I'm away from my PC. (I'm working fully remote)

App is called Intune Company Portal in the Google Play store - not sure if I'm allowed to link it

Google activated backups without my consent or informing me! And I have a Samsung(My last one ever!). Minimum check if they have done it to you or anyone else!

Or are they more protected?

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this.

I knew this day was coming, my daughter finally has a smart phone at age 12. I feel I put it off as long as possible.

But now a smartphone is apparently (?) needed for school... Even her teacher sends documents and such to a whatsapp group of all the kids in her class. I hate that this is our reality.

I told her signal would be no problem, but she's adamant that everyone is on whatsapp (which is obviously the case).

Until now she has had no online presence whatsoever, but now it feels like we're just opening the floodgates: am I just handing Facebook access to all her thoughts and communications by allowing her to have whatsapp on her phone?! How bad is this really, because to me it feels like the beginning of the end.

I'm having serious anxiety about this. Can anyone give me some words of advice for how to minimize/mitigate our exposure here?

Thank you for reading,

I'm a consultant doing a risk assessment for an Australian marketing company.

Whats the privacy like on the integration and is it safe to use for the company?

Their main concerns are:

• If the integration happenas, will any documents be stored outside of Australia?
• will documents be stored in the cloud (which they don't want), can storage be configured locally?

Can the integration still be used without turning on Adobe Document cloud service?

Would like to know your thoughts?

Regards
