If your privacy is important to you, stay away from Google maps too.
My wife had maps going to find a hiking trail. Hours later we stopped
for lunch at a restaurant in town. I paid cash and we did not use the
phone there but an hour later she got a text from Google asking her to
rate the restaurant.

Oh, how awful.
It certainly demonstrates haw someone, anyone, can track you simply by
looking at your phone. Bear in mind, all of that is discoverable by
Trump's FBI.

So what?
I will keep that in mind the next time you go off on the patriot act
or the NSA snooping on you.
Maybe privacy is just not important to you. I suppose that may be a
city thing.


Yawn. I don't do anything that would interest the NSA. Apparently
you do.
So you don't need the 4th amendment? Do you think the cops can toss
your car and your house any time they want ... because you don't have
anything to hide? (except the "hundreds" of illegally copied movies)

The cops are not going to toss my car and I don't have any ilegally copied
movies and even if I did, the NSA would not care. What are *you* so nervous
about?
If you are willing to give up your 4th amendment rights, what is to
stop the cops from tossing your house and car?

As for your movies, how did you get a legally licensed movie that you
can store on your server? They all say it is illegal to "reproduce"
them, in any way.
Streams (netflix, amazon etc) can't legally be copied locally and DVDs
are also illegal to copy. Where do you get a movie legally that you
can copy?


Netflix has a very limited library of downloadable movies. It's great
for travel with a tablet.



But they are only good for a few days after first viewing.


I took a few minutes to read the ULAs from Netflix, Vudu, Amazon,
Hulu, HBO Go and a few others. The language is strikingly similar. You
can't "Copy, reproduce or archive" on any of them legally. I suspect
it is straight from the MPAA's lawyers.
Same goes for ripping your DVDs.
I am not saying it can't be done but call yourself a pirate and be
proud.



Crikey, you might want to consider doing something useful. Doesn't
someone in your neighborhood need a tiki bar? Perhaps if you tried less
hard and weren't so snotty about it, I might have given you the info you
so desperately desire. Not a chance now.
