"99.9999999%" means "almost always". It isn't a precise calculation, which you know. Just look at the US arrest statistics. See how many total arrests there are annually and ask yourself how many of those could be f

Now we're talking about the internet. When you get online, you're entering a public space. Being physically inside your house at the time is irrelevant IMO. You don't have to buy smart appliances either. Or apps to control yo
