Sometimes I wonder is this could be mitigated by literally covering your walls in aluminum foil. Maybe those "tinfoil hats" are on to something.

Agreed. I work 8 hours every weekday with an hour train ride- not much time to sleep after eating and leisure are accounted for.

Great point, I cannot stand when the argument is made: "I'd rather have Russian or Chinese backdoors in my software, than allow the possibilty of US authorities to have jurisdiction". It would be better if one chooses their s

This article has such a condescending tone- how is paying for a video game subscription any more harmful to "leisure" than paying for a trip to the beach? Pure clickbait.

It still vexes me that I can't instantly transfer money from my bank to a friend's account without paying, or using a third-party like Venmo or Paypal.

These days it seems like you need to remove all the batteries from your phone/smartwatch/assorted botnet devices to get any sort of privacy. And then you'd still have a half dozen CCTV cameras on you.

Agreed. If companies want every toaster and hair dryer connected to the Internet, they better damn well be sure they are secured. Any performance hit is a small price to pay.
