I was a subscriber to Sports Illustrated for many , many years . I recently decided to cancel my subscription due to the declining frequency of their publication and the declining quality of their content. I cancelled by phone. They said " Okay " . That was it . They did not give me any offer or ask for any reason for my cancelling. They didn't care .
Someone needs to sue Amazon to provide a tv stick and a Fire tablet and anything else WITHOUT Alexa. Given the cases of Alexa recording people without their knowledge or consent and the file being accessed on Amazon's servers by third parties, there's a massive privacy risk.
Speaking of personal data being ripped off, the Canada Revenue Agency online tax account files have been shut down for days because of a massive hack using something called "credentials stuffing".
The cloud is awesome and all that, but there's this one little problem in that it's also like a store that gets robbed once a month.

The wife purchased an ear thermometer. She insists I'm not using it correctly, but I'm shoving that piece of crap in as far as it will go and it's giving me 92.5, 91.4, 89(!).9. I think the highest score I've achieved so far is 97 point something. And taking my daily temperature is part of the conditions for working in the office. So I'm shitcanning it and just bought an infrared forehead thermometer instead. I'm very pessimistic that it will work any better, but we'll see....
ACtually ,we have reched the point where you do need them.
Take the app that was in-process for corona virus contact tracing. What it did was use the GPS data from your smart phone to montior where an an infected person was, and then contact other smart phones who were in the same place at the same time. The GPS data is also used to change the way car insurance is priced, using the data from where you drive as opposed to the old-fashioned how you drive. It's also used to help you find routes with more traffic, as it monitors the pinging of other cells phones, and if too many are on the road in front of you, your mapping software of choice (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Wayz) will select alternate routes.
And maybe the celll phone pinging will provide secondary guidance for unmanned vehicles, possibly helping them avoid pedestrians in some cases.
So don't get stuck in traffic with that corona virus you don't know you have!!
