RE: SecretlyTracking you "In The Name Of The Law"
Facebook is only one player. They also read emails etc. Once we have "smart appliances" they will have data when and how often you use your toaster and how often you drink milk. They will know everything.
I was aware of them reading emails... Google does the same as Facebook! I wonder if people ever stop to think why they would need a smart refrigerator? I read somewhere that most toasters have a transmitter built in to them (and out went the toaster ^^)... I noticed that they have pushed smart TV's, if you can find one that is not smart it will cost you more for a smaller TV. The last time I went shopping they had a big screen (over 50 inches) for under $500 but a little 19 inch that was not smart was almost $400. Lucky for me my partner loves his electronics and can make sure that any smart TV is not able to spy.
Exactly, this is how it works. They push this shit on you. And eventually there will be no other choice than to buy a "smart" appliance. The crap we buy now has a very limited lifespan and is almost impossible to repair. So eventually there will be no way around it. I heard that even radios now must have an internet connection. I wonder why...LOL.
Sometimes I dream of living in a cabin in the woods with no electricity, a nice fireplace and a petroleum lamp. That would be nice...
The "crap" we buy now it useless and breaks if you look at it the wrong way lol (they went and made our appliances snowflakes ^^). What about the electric company giving you light bulbs saying that they are energy efficient. People eat that up and do not stop to really think about that one. The company makes money because you use electric, so why would they want to help you save money on electric? As the old saying goes "if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is". My partner will not use them at all and I understand why... if you really look at them lights it has a transmitter that transmit at 25 hertz.
Living off grid in a cabin would be my idea of wonderful... I see the beauty in nature and I am more at peace with less around me, so I get where you are coming from... now my partner would figure out a way to have electric and the internet because that is his way lol
Boy oh boy, you just opened another can of worms. I have come across information that these new lightbulbs are also anything but good for us. Something about the frequency of the flicker rate and the spectrum of the light. For now I use the old ones as much as possible, they get harder to find though. Sometimes I get lucky and find them in the 99 cent store :)
You know what... I think you and my partner stumble upon the same stuff. He recently put a program on our computers that change the light coming from them for that reason. LOL... I knew we had a good reason to like you lol. We too use the old ones as much as we can! They are getting harder to find in our area.
