- Read about that root shell thing on the smart TVs that lets someone basically watch what you're watching without you knowing... I unplugged ours from wifi last night just to feel like I did something. Still works fine for the shows we had downloaded already. Streaming's harder without it obviously…
- maybe im overthinking this but ever since i read that google might start pulling from gmail and photos for ad targeting ive been scrolling through old backups wondering what already got looked at... years of stuff just sitting there that i forgot i even had. is there an actual way to see what…
