Washington state US here. As long as one person is aware of the recording it's ok, you being the one, it's legal.

The Motorola moto phones have their own tracking software meant to be of use/assistance to the user, it's ToS claims nobody but them will have access to any obtained data - (I'm afraid I laughed at that one), seeing as Google owns the company.
Not mentioning the name (things have changed) they ask for nothing in return for it's use and damn friendly, but a site that walks one through rooting of ones phone (through it's postings).
Also it's insane to think that humans could ever fly like birds in the sky, that the horseless buggy could ever outpace a solid 8-steed-wagon, or that the demons causing polio will ever be driven out by the power of Christ.

For us - you to exist everything had to go right, and one needs to really appreciate each day as we got lucky, as so many things had to fall into place.
Yet no, humans will never acquire wings to fly, our breast isn't nor ever will be large enough.
In the USA? Are you kidding? A place where parents can't leave their kids in a car 5 minutes while they run an errand? Can't let their kids play in a park next to their home? Can't let a 14 year old stay at home by themselves for an hour before parent gets home from work?
Had CPS at the house, my son had his kids given to him one day (instant parent). His 4 year old asked me if he could have a Pepsi as he grab for one; I said ya I guess, but I really dont know how to handle this one.
All heard, and eyes were on the door as we came out, saw it was a Pepsi and grined. Whew, it was Ok this week.

"SERVICE . After you select a Service plan and buy it, you will be connected automatically whenever you’re near an access point that provides the Service (and is within the country in which you originally purchased the Service plan) and you have time remaining on your plan.

no fan of these companies, but freedom of speech should be absolute on principle. as long as a person does not engage in actual violence, or a legal crime. he/she should be able to do whatever they want(including violent speech).
but these companies have already given up on freedom of speech. they have set up and use, censors and moderators, against those who are not actually violent and are not criminals.
in this case also, they seem to defend by pointing out impracticality of monitoring their platforms, rather than standing by principle of not monitoring at all.
Actually I see it being easier than that. You don't monitor every site, you monitor the site they sell your post/data to, Flurry.com (Google) being one.
www.rovio.com/ (Angry Birds) used to have a TOS that explained just how this worked (value in your personal data). It was a pretty good read, none of this broad "we sell your info", but what and to who.
If you've ever played Angry Birds you were quite the asset to rovio.com, and they are in no way unique in this practice.
I often laugh at the logic as well. I've never paid a penny towards buying music (nor do I pirate it) but the idea that if I downloaded a song the music industry somehow suffered a loss is laughable at best. Hollywood style math I guess. Sort of like hooker math.
I've also have never spent a penny on music -the Pepsi bottle top free music downloads of many years ago, I gave the "winners" to others; and have never pirated a single song/album.
Yet have quite the collection.
Purchased a used hard drive at a place similar to Goodwill, checking to see if it contained anything; found just about any song title you can think of covering cRap, rock, country, and the rest. Damn!
And the pr0n, gigabytes of videos featuring women with big (huge) rear ends, nothing else. I lol'd and then deleted them.
Have I harmed the music industry? I sure hope so, this DRM is getting out of hand.
He's already had to send his PS4 back for warrenty work. Now when you turn it on there's a good chance the fan will spin up and the PS4 shut down (cold system).
I've never had a problem with any of the previous PS controllers they last forever. I bought a PS4 controller to play with on his system, when I'm not there his son use(s/d) it. Not one month later the right joystick stuck to the left -if controlling a person you will just start spinning to the left.
I'm not impressed at all with the PS4, going to stick with my supposedly coveted backward compatible PS3 (I bought a backward compatible PS3 from Game Stop for $120 as a replacement recently (in stock)).
And what are the good UI decisions Microsoft ever made? Remember the "Start" button debacle?
Autorun, default is still enabled.
I have an old version of Heirn's bootdisk that the autorun.ini installs malware, I keep it as an example of autorun's bad side, and as a not so bright attempt at an attack - it's a boot disk (yet if placed in a drive when running Windows...).
The point remains that your claim that the Amiga didn't have a working programming language available is provably false. Being unable to use those languages doesn't mean they didn't exist.
Ok, I'll reinterate.
There was no programing language I was interested in at the time. AmigaDOS didn't work for me and nothing elebroate, for next loops that showed bogus outputs. No errors or alerts just bad output or wouldn't run when there was no reason for it not. I can't remember any program written (other than it was simple, and a learning exersise).
I collected Amgia programs (1.2,1.3), a trait learned from the softwareless TRS-80, I did come across an Amiga Fortran language program, never loaded it.
Although you joke, those who use Linux, especially those who use it seriously and for the long term, should be getting worried right about now.
It goes beyond systemd, including problematic software like GNOME 3, PulseAudio, and even newer versions of Firefox.
Worried? You bet, Linux Mint is getting sloppy, and I plan (had) on running Mint KDE long term and seriously.
Install Opera 12.16 (12.16.1860-1linuxmint) (this is the best Windows version, and browser). Left click far left Opera tab > Settings > Preferences > Advanced There are 5 boxes for selected options (4 selected) with no indication of what they are for or do, and it continues through out the settings.
I won't use it.

Clearly then the problem is grown-ass men playing video games is the problem.
Be old and be a proud game player.
I have a youtube video that has seen over 400K hits, it leaves demographics you wouldn't believe. It's a game video and the demographic that caught me eye are the ages of those that visited, there are three substantial peaks - at the ages of 36, 56, and 62. Note they take a dive at 21-30, college, a family, and life in general.
an Amiga that had no working programing language available
Sure there were - the Amiga originally came with Metacomco's ABasic - it wasn't great, but it was functional, and Metacomco also had a decent macro assembler available when the Amiga came out. When AmigaDOS 1.2 came out, they switched to Microsoft's AmigaBASIC. The Lattice and Manx C compilers came a little bit later.
Still have my A1000, the Manx compiler, the Metacomco assembler, and the RKMs.:-D
I started using the AmigaBasic under 1.2 things that should of worked didn't, time and time again.
It got to the point I was ready to toss the Amiga through a window or wall whatever was in front of me - it was at that point I quit trying.
AmigaBasic was so bad they dumped it for Arex in 1.3.
It works, but there can be negative side effects... great example being the TPM.
If you've a TPM in use under 8.1 (at least), after upgrading to 10 it will be tweaked in such a way that it will only work in 10, even after a reset/reinstall of the OS to a lower version.
Worse, because of the changes, the 8.1 UI is unable to clear the TPM so you can re-take ownership of it.
My motherboard doesn't have a TPM, one of it's selling points.
Since April 2015 I've avoided the update KB3035583, even then checked system32 often for a GWX directory which I'll delete if found.
I run Win7 and have never run into this Win10 update in any manner, other than having 24 hours my Internet use collected (April 4th 2015) -GWX's first action.
I did warn others yet 1) it went unheeded and 2) I misspelled GWX as CWX in my journal, yet other journal entries were correctly spelled.
This isn't a troll, it's how I got past the Win10 upgrade.
Mint KDE, learning curve that's acceptable. Runs my Nvidia card and opens up a steam account I haven't used in years, so all my old games are back (I do miss my BF3 (not an option)).
Only error I've received was after changing the desktop theme, crashed, then worked just fine.
The HOSTS files a tad touchy, I ended up copying my old one and pasting it on top of the KDE one at etc/hosts.
I'd like to see my e-mailer Forte Agent to make the switch, but don't think Wine has it in it. I've run it since Win95 (same version just copied an icon to windows desktop) that will miss it.
And no joke, I use a ASUS wifi card (PCE-N15) - under windows it's acceptable, under Mint KDE it's at least three time faster, and it's picked up on the install.
Did I mention the default Opera download is 12.14!
When they approved a security update installs a Windows 10 nag they all but proved there are no updates left for Windows 7 regardless of when the "end of life" is. So people cut them off.
I lost all trust in Microsoft with my Win7 update KB3035583. The update claimed "it made upgrading to Win10 easier" now seen as an inside joke at the time.
April 11 2016 apprently I was the only person in the world who found the file that was to of been sent out - my hosts file had stopped it from leaving.
This file was to of left April 5 and contained browser caches which showed what you done online over the course of 24 hours. All of the AV and ad blockers were in on it as it was allowed to pass em all.
Mentioning this directory and warning others on sevenforums got me banned for posting crap.
This was located in the GWX directory, where were three more config.cfg files. Having removed the GWX directory I could only read on/. what each was for when one came into action over the course a year.
Windows future looked bleak with Win10 being more of a tracker/stalker (your choice). I went to Mint KDE, a bit more trust in that direction.
Only now is how I felt about MS being shown by others, just took them a year to catch on.

Parental responsibility?
In the USA? Are you kidding? A place where parents can't leave their kids in a car 5 minutes while they run an errand? Can't let their kids play in a park next to their home? Can't let a 14 year old stay at home by themselves for an hour before parent gets home from work?

It's required for me to access the UseNet, and I only have access to the groups My ISP has allowed.
A newsgroup for any discussion you can think of, only one binary subject is not allowed/illegal, I assume text as well.
Also Missing is TOR and it hasn't been forgotten, another one that has no chance of a payday.
How can you arrange 15 cards on every second within a 8 cm radius?
When cell phones first came with Bluetooth, security required one to disable it.
It was possible to sit in a busy area of a mall and collect all the contacts of those with enabled bluetooth.
15 cards every second within a 8 cm radius, one would surely come across as supisious of doing something dubious.
Just as a random plug, I have a Koruma RFID blocking wallet which I got years ago and it's still going fine.
I don't carry a wallet, not doing so cured my back pains when I was much younger. Just what's required in my back pocket.
I've fallen for the hype of being scanned, not helping are the TV's commercialism of those type of wallets (scan blocking) - so just in case...
I wrap my RFID chip embedded cards in an aluminum foil packet I made up. The trick is being able to access it quickly and not looking like a dork :).
