  • Indeed - it seems that this tracking is done completely outside of the phone, asking the network where, physically, the push notification was delivered (Tower, time, and date) to locate the phone and ostensibly the owner of the phone.

  • Actually, I think the AI has come up with a very fine personification of Winter. Crystal cold days, the fun of the first snow, and of a white Christmas. Snowball fights. Snowmen. Cozy nights around the fireplace sipping hot chocolate.

  • Do you want a Butlerian Jihad? Cuz this is how you get a Butlerian Jihad!

  • Windows Telemetry at first. Then Windows browbeating various products - "Edge please download Firefox" - Edge: "Why, I am better than Firefox" Me:"Do as I say" Edge: "But -blah blah nah" and so on. I know there are ways around it, but if someone can force an update against my will on my machine, it is not my machine. This leads to questions of what else can they do without my permission. Linux is my machine. I control when and how and what. Also customization.

  • Waypipe - Thanks I will look into that. Thanks to the others who also added their opinions promoting waypipe.
