The truth is no one except those inside the companies determining pricing really knows. And it can change at anytime if they find some new price discrimination data point to exploit. In the video they say it basically comes down to a desperation score.

My guess/sense at this moment is that it’s slightly better as the type of person willing to learn and explore the privacy options and settings and have a little extra income to put towards them will be aware of shopping alternatives and therefore have a lower desperation score

Oh interesting that does make it slightly better. Thanks for the find!

Yea it was a brand new account so maybe existing ones are grandfathered in. Also was using a VPN/linux so maybe it flagged me as heightened risk 🤷🏼‍♀️ Went through adding randomish details and had to go back through and put in the right stuff instead haha

I had to use an id here last month

We’re moving towards a world where everyone has an approved device for official purposes and anyone who wants privacy has a second Linux/alternate android OS device for everything else 😬

And the daughter too

Oh for sure and you prob never get rid of it completely, just find a healthier balance. It just feels ironic recording an analog activity in front of a smartphone

I like the idea behind this but how do you promote your analog life on TikTok without also using tech at the same time

This was a couple years ago so idk about now. The intro deals just about make it worth it but would never pay full price. I’d say take the best intro offer you can get, use it and find new things you like/learn how to cook more and when the intro is over you can cancel and keep making the recipes you like

Idk what the first two are, but you should be able to disable the usage ping at the bottom of privacy settings

He probably mistook +7 with -7. Classic mix-up!

Tbh I feel like less is more, and a lot of these depend on duration/climate.

Universal is good boots. I like something light waterproof and high ankle for the most versatility. I use an old pair of danners they’re pretty good, only complaint is the top is too wide and little gravel pieces get in there on messier trails. My dads got the on cloud ones and likes them a lot. Says they’re pretty comfortable.

Depending on hike length I’ll either hydrate well before or carry a water bottle (~2 hours or less) or bring a camelback bladder in a light camelback backpack (longer hike). Honestly love that thing I’ve had it 15+ years and it’s nice just getting water from a straw on your shoulder.

Next is climate. Hot: light breathable quick dry tee. Super sunny: make it long sleeve with a bucket hat and/or sunscreen. Chance of rain: light rain jacket (like you mentioned). I got a Helly Hansen one that’s built well. Cold/chilly: layers. I almost always end up taking them off once I get moving, but it’s good to have for breaks/start/end. Really cold (30-45F) would be like a puffer jacket that can pack down (I have an arc Teryx but I don’t think it’s that much better than a north face or a Costco generic). Moderately chilly (45-60F) a light mellanzana type sweater/jacket.

Food for 4+ hour hikes: I like fruit (oranges, apples, tomatoes), potato chips (the salt hits different after a good sweat), beef sticks, pb&j, and beer. Maybe an electrolyte powder if it’s really hot.

(Honorable mention to crocs or birks to get out of your boots as soon as you get back to the car)

I think most other gear is dead weight. Did a 26 mile day hike across the whole Grand Canyon with just the camelback and food (11 lbs total) and hot/sunny clothes option above and smoked all the people with 20+ pound packs and random gear

It’s like the prisoners dilemma. We were top left. Some companies thought they could pay less and still reap the benefits of other employers paying well, now everyone does that we’re bottom right

Libraries can have pretty good CD collections too

Yea I feel this like I’m cool as a dude and wouldn’t want to not have been/be a dude but I really like experiencing different things and it’d be neat to experience being a woman for a bit

For me, the house I’m in was built in 1912 but it’s still holding strong. My parents have me beat though, they got the original governor of south carolina’s front doors which were from somewhere in the late 1700s

Are there any privacy considerations if swiftkey is restricted from internet access?

Ive had two on proton mail (plus more on their services) without any issues
