So, now we get Microsoft's public telemetry info being sucked from Windows 10 machines or phone-based platforms? http://investmentwatchblog.com... which includes: - Typed text on keyboard sent every 30 minutes - Transmits anything you say into a microphone - Transcripts of things you say while using Cortana - Index of all media files on your computer - When your webcam is first enabled, 35mb of data - Telemetry data
I'm a OnePlus phone owner (prior to all of this being disclosed), but even I'm considering not getting another one. I can't begin to imagine piling Windows 10 on top of it!
We have a Sonia Bravia 65" smart tv. I reluctantly attached it to the internet for updates.
I don't watch much TV, but my wife does.
I rented 2 DVD's recently, Creed and Avengers: Infinity War.
My wife is watching her full-blown stream of solved/unsolved murder investigation programs and she starts yelling at me about Jason Momoa's picture and ad promotion of Aquaman that keeps popping up on the entire screen every 5 minutes.
I have no idea what the heck she's talking about, but I was taking heat for what kept interrupting her tv watching. She was truly annoyed, and I correctly surmised that ad's were being injected, but didn't know by who. But the correlation to "super hero movie ads" and my rare use of the TV for watching action/super hero movies makes me wonder if HDMI traffic from the DVD player is being tracked as well.
I'm seriously upset about this ad injection crap, and I'm about to try factory refreshing this tv and removing any semblance of internet connection from it.
Sony, your bed-buddy choice is going to make you some serious enemies that your ad revenue isn't going to replace.
The NY Times is a product I (reluctantly) pay for (yes, I know I can get it for free), and yet I keep getting notices at the bottom of my pages that they want me to accept ads...
Yeaaaah, NO!
I'm not wanting to pay for the privilege of seeing ads.

SUBJECT: ASTEROID DEFLECTION - POTUS IMAGERY CLASSIFY: NOFORN/REPEYESONLY
Analysts have determined that a cost effective method of asteroid deflection would be to simply paint Donald Trump's image on to an asteroid.
While counterintuitive to the casual observer, we believe this course of action will lead to an accelerated program by liberal factions within congress to approve expedited funding for an expedition to remove an incoming asteroid by any means necessary, including nuclear detonation.
While opposition to nuclear payloads have been exhibited by liberal opponents over fears of nuclear proliferation for space programs, we believe this will incite an immediate reaction that will override any prior objections and bring about a desired outcome for delivery of a nuclear device into space. Once launched, a hidden pod will be launched to deliver a 5 gallon container of white paint to a portion of the "face" that would correspond to acne, and a 5 gallon container of black paint in proximity to an "eye" that was previously painted on the asteroid, with a highly reflective metallic "Banksy" logo additionally placed therein.
The delivery of these two paint containers would result in multiple objectives: - Photos of the resulting asteroid will increase Banksy's street cred, destabilizing art markets overseas as his work is driven to astronomical pricing levels (yes, pun intended) - Liberal factions will direct their attention to a "greater good" message of intergalactic grafitti whereby the deflected asteroid will be advertising a more desireable message as it continues it's path throughout the solar system, with a recurring embarrassing message long after Trump's demise. - Color and reflection disparities will cause a distortion in the planned trajectory and actually cause the asteroid to miss earth. - A nuclear warhead is parked in space for optional use later. - Trump will be assuaged in knowing he will be "immortalized" through the intergalactic, er trans solar-system art work.
Well, I'll certainly use a tool like this to aim it at a piece of software I have to use with a CZURtek book scanner I purchased from a kickstarter campaign years ago that appears to be scanning across my hard drive in unrelated areas and opening a port to china while in the middle of scanning.
How about scientists make it a more interactive study.
I've been kind enough to ship a set of Zebra patterned lab coats with pockets filled with excrement to them to test for fly and lion abatement testing..
All in the name of science of course.
Insert your favorite lawye...er scientist joke here.
Well, perhaps it would be more apparent if someone were to track Mr. Pai's phone, and map it, and ask him if he felt threatened by it's disclosure of his travel patterns, or if the location of his whereabouts might indicate when his vehicle or home is empty for his property to be accessed by others who don't belong there.
I can't help but think lobbyists or ordinary citizens might be interested in knowing whether he really IS busy in meetings elsewhere or if his staff is really just blowing people off. Because I'd love to be able to bump into him in a grocery store to share our respective points of view on various items before the commission.
I'm also thinking of those people who have had their investment portfolios cleaned out as they were on a long flight and inaccessible to see the accounts being drained.
Am I wrong in seeing a threat to high value targets in gaining executives' locations to those who want to kidnap them?
Perhaps look at the cost difficulties Germany is running into with regards to strict adherence to wind, solar and wave power for energy generation?
There are diminishing returns energy-wise and economically speaking. And there still isn't a viable storage option, nor the availability for enough minerals for everyone's electricity usage/storage needs during periods of inclement or non-cooperative weather patterns or night-time use periods.
Maybe it's time to invest in massive pipes made of room-temp superconducting "unobtanium" that is connected to massive solar farms around the world to "follow the sun".
Thug 1 (T1): Opening medi-auction site now.... Thug 2 (T2): Shhh.. shhh... look lady, we're just gonna take your kidney, okay? Victim (V): Who let you in? Why are you doing this?
T2 to T1: Hurry up... what's the going rate for a kidney? T1: top big is.... $5800, with finders bonus... $12,450 T2: Woohoo! Take the sale, arrange for pickup - send our coordinates now.
Victim starts screaming as Thug 2 approaches her with a knife. Thug 2 knocks her out, and proceeds to cut out her kidney.
A minute later, a tapping is heard on the window, and an ice chest is seen outside tucked under a drone.
The ice chest is packed with the kidney on ice, and is sent on its way.
Thug 1: Payment has been electronically transferred. Let's get downtown and make a fast withdrawal.

Doesn't the various spectrums of light disinfect and remove various nasties?
Perhaps install very bright lights throughout the space station, throw open the windows and air out the place.
That always worked back on the farm!
Stay tuned! Maybe thieves will be back for the replacements.

Works for me... it's how "Person of Interest" ended...
Oh, wait..
it was nuked in orbit after trying to escape being exterminated on the ground.
(Person of Interest was a GREAT series, btw!)
