I'm somewhat weary. This might be the final missing piece to connect your mobile phone number to your mobile browser user agent, or even worse, your desktop browser agent.

- tome 8y agoInteresting. I wonder if the mistaken use of "weary" comes from a combination of "wary" and "leery"! I always assumed it was because "wear" is pronounced the same as the first syllable of "wary". Unfortunately "weary" is already a word and "I'm wary of X" has a different meaning from "I'm weary of X", but similar enough that a lot of confusion could result.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoIf the mobile carriers are selling your real time location data, I don't think there is much stopping them from also selling your browser user agents.
- tome 8y agoI believe that dmichulke means that when the phone number is linked to the user agent it's much more dangerous than when they are sold without that connection being known.
