LOL, what?

text is insecure but thats not my threat model

This one looks exciting...

Going to finally replace my ipad air 2.

Yes, I will miss the laminated display -- however, for nearly half the cost of the new ipad air and a much needed upgrade i can live without it.

plus, the screen is cracked and to replace on the air is very $$$$

I can view most one the web but it does require multiple refreshes, new sessions, etc on my iOS device. I only sign in to throwaway accounts ( to infrequently post) via desktop.

Hopefully this fixes Firefox 74. First time in years I can say that I've had stability problems, frequent crashes, etc.
It'd inform those that weren't aware at least...

Some of which may find it reprehensible. And maybe lobby to change.

You probably have refer disabled or spoofed. "Fix" that and it may work
>>Counter question. Do you expect/are ok with that the moment you leave your house you are constantly followed by a person with a camera recording everything you do. Which shops you visite etc.?

>>Because this is basically what this will sooner or later boil down to

This exists now in Miami Beach, Florida, USA.

I'm expecting not to be tracked by 50 axis cameras with analytic software the moment I step out my front door and go for a walk or run in my city. To not have my path tracked or reviewed should someone unaccountable decide to do so.
I might be content with a large warning sign "LICENSE PLATE READER AHEAD" for each location.
How about just stop tracking people! We aren't prisoners don't treat us as such.
Good but don't exempt the government.

Many local cities are building out vast networks. Including my very own Miami Beach Police Department.

Yes to both of these. Dating or not these are vital in life.

Cool, just other stuff, such as name, address, income, credit score, transaction history, payment history, ya know, nothing too important or personal..

Arguably the least important data element is the account number...

> I'd diligently turned off background location for virtually everything

First thing I did with my wife's Iphone. I imagine that with that disabled and permissions set correctly , an iphone leaks less than an android.

Where was this? I would have refused entry and demanded a refund.
Why not use cash?
