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 didn't know that since we watched them and deleted them to save space
on the tablet. They lasted at least a week. We downloaded about six
for the trip up and back a week later.

I think it said 3 days after first viewing.



OK, that makes sense. I never planned on keeping them - just watching
them once. I own maybe three DVD's since there are few movies I want to
watch more than once.

Wow. That's pretty invasive. I just switched to DuckDuckGo.

It is not the map, it is location services.

Keyser, say that when you're accused of doing something that you haven't done. Say that when the government does something unjustified toward you and the only why out is by moving away from everything that you love. When the US can support oppression of people by occupation in Hawaii, Palestine, and Puerto Rico; it can do a lot more.

I just read this: "DuckDuckGo has a well-established hold on the “private search” market. Its users
are extremely loyal to the private search engine. It is feature rich for a privacy-focused tool,
which not a lot of privacy tools are. It has a sleek and modern feeling design which makes for a
user-friendly experience. All of this is great but it’s still not Google. Google is superior in
almost every way, except that Google tracks you and your searches. However, since DuckDuckGo has
these privacy flaws, it’s just not worth switching from Google."

I suppose I'll just stick with Google.

Bing maps are better. More like the old Google maps that gave time between
stops.
