Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Yeah I heard Google now can track your movements in your home. Supposedly they do this so when eventually say your watching a movie and walk out of the room to get another beer your movie will automatically pause and start back up when you sit back down on the couch.
Lol, reminds me of Once upon a time if u ever watched it, when the green witch gives up her magic and her sister says no big deal she lived with it in story brook after the curse and had no magic and had to actually manually turn on a light switch lol

That's just assine. I can hit a pause button. I agree with the hubby that it's more to spy on you than anything else. But that's unfortunately the world we live in now where covert ops are now done in the open. I'm not a criminal though so I don't think I'm that interesting. They probably have a lot of videos on of me on the toilet and that's it

Why do you feel the need to assume that anyone in the world would be interested in knowing that?

Talk all that about paranoia but actions speak louder than words.

Gross, I don't want my phone knowing when I go to the bathroom. So then what, I'll start getting ads for Depends? What if I'm just brushing my teeth or have something in my eye? Just stop.

My games app has ads for an app to "track your sleep" it will tell you when you farted, rolled over, snorted, etc. It knows whether to send ads for toilet paper, depends, or toothpaste.

Google , Meta and Amazon (and …) take over our personal interest step by step and finally our lifes. If you let them.

Not responding to adds, not buying /using Google , Apple and Amazon smart product does help.
The biggest service providers are already mighty and rich as governments. Hopefully there aren’t any Poetin-like directors amongst them.

In Europe you can escape from personal advertisement if you make an extra step visitings websites. I do. I never buy from Amazon. I quited Facebook. Just don’t like or thrust the owners.

I thought this thread was about Covid?

Gotta love technology

Maybe so.

Maybe not. Doctors have lost their jobs for something that is a very well established practice - prescribing med off label. Or the police in prison now for following procures in Minnesota two years ago.

That just stops you from seeing that the info is being collected. It doesn't stop it from being collected.

It's rather long. I read the summation. I don't like listening to podcasts and the like. I've no patience for it. Any video longer than 15 minutes is too much as well
