Same here. I believe in most U.S. states, knowlingly possessing stolen property is a crime. If you didn't know, you just have to forfiet it to the lawful owner.

I imagine you're referring to a simple line drawing (with labels)?

Notarization just proves it was you who signed something, it has nothing to do with the contents of the document.

Unfortunately a lot of people think notarization gives some kind of legitimacy to a document, or likely in this case, it's probably not the hassle of getting it notarized, but used as a scare tactic to prevent some people from committing insurance fraud by listing inflated or made-up items (people might conflate it with perjury).

What I'm hearing you say is: "Your privacy doesn't matter."

It does matter. Is this what you meant?:

"Even when you deny, enough of your contacts won’t, that it seems in vain."

Ah yes, the "CSI Effect", I forgot about that. Thank you.

No.

They do?

I don't remember hating my bike when I was a kid, and I had the cheap kind. I also don't remember it being too heavy or anything. Of course if I wanted to ride my bike, I had to lift the heavy wooden garage door up (elementary-school-age). Kids that I volunteer with all seem weak and have issues that I never had.

There's a parable about helping a butterfly out of a cocoon:

Can't smells be recorded by chemical composition?

20+ years ago, CSI (U.S. TV Show) had an episode where they used a device to identify fragrances; seemed plausible to me.

What's worse is if someone accidentally uses your phone number when they sign up for something, then you're on the list and never able to get off of it.

There are dumb TVs that are cheaper than business displays. Business Displays are not more expensive due to a lack of subsidization, they are expensive because they are built to be more durable (left on longer or continuously) and because businesses generally have a larger budget than consumers.

Unfortunately 99.998% of the population can't do that. I'm glad you found a solution for yourself, but that doesn't help everyone else, so everyone else will reward the manufacturers by buying them and leaving them able to phone home, so manufacturers will just push the boundaries a little further next time and that might impact you in a way you can't easily mitigate.

I hope you never have a guest that accepts the ToS.

Don't worry, AI can add a filter that makes new stuff look like old human media.

> Creating a copy is violation of copyright

Correction: creating a copy that doesn't follow fair use requirements, is a violation of copyright.

They make small and cheap USB-C splitters for charging and listening at the same time, but it is one more thing you do have to carry and keep track of.

I like some of the features, but the website doesn't tell me why I should trust them, or directions on how to build the OS from the source code for people who have never done something like that, like me (not that I'd be able to audit it anyway).

With GrapheneOS, enough people have their eyes on it, that I can trust it without reviewing all of the source code and compiling it myself.

Feature request: a graph chart of number of times each font won. Or perhaps a chart of weighted rankings.

Very nicely done though, thank you!

Microwave? Might be easier to avoid the fumes than the dust from drilling. Probably easier to drill outside and wear an N95 mask and goggles though.

Banks usually have information they can ask like Social Secuirty Number (which is inevitably in some leak).

eBay is the first one that comes to mind. I know I've run into it a couple of other times where a website will just offer to text you a code, but usually there is a small link you can click that says "use my password instead".

Facebook and Amazon don't have my cell phone number, but I bet they have an option.

I don't usually try to reset my passwords since I use a password manager, so it's probably more common than that.

Lots of authentication systems use an SMS code to reset your password, thereby essentially becoming 1FA.

Can anyone recommend a good, seemless voice modulating phone app (that also records for your records)?

It's possible if she doesn't know why you're asking the questions and requesting a specific photograph, her responses won't be helpful.

For example, if you asked for a selfie, she might just think you want a picture of her, and she remembers that she has a picture of her that she took last year where she looked good (passport phot that people dress up for), and wants you to have a good photo rather than one where she looks miserable in a hospital.

The way you tell the story makes it sound suspicious, but next time I would just be direct and tell her something seems suspicious to you, that someone could impersonating her, so that is why you are asking.

If someone is targeting you, perhaps are they already saw your comment here so that hypothetical person already know you're on to them, in which case saying that on the phone won't give any new information away.

How long until the technology is cheap and small enough that municipalities sell access to the pipes out of each house, to data brokers?

I imagine in most cities it's illegal already to have a septic system if there is public sewage available.

That's called "structuring" and is illegal.

I've heard about Target's tracking from reputable sources, but never of them refusing to take cash, do you have a reputable source for that?
