Just out of the blue, how about a smart watch on your ankles? May not help, but it would be interesting to see the results. And "ya never know" Football not advised in either case.

I got carried away with the Star Trek analogy. There, the computer controlled too much, but aren't we giving up too much power and decision-making to AI already? Hiring, medical care decisions? And Landru could be convinced that it vio

Seriously, I had an android some 10 years ago, and spent a lot of time and effort trying to avoid the Google ecosystem. They quite simply are a spy agency. At the time I was moving, and the carrier had no coverage up in the hills, so I had

ICE doesn't care. It's all for the quotas, the show and the cruelty. Many are hooligans. None want to be identified. Beat up people first. Check later. Often a force without badges, badges without numbers, without ID, without face

This is great, but even browsers go nutty at times. I had to restart Firefox (as in kill-restart), when it lost contact with the keyboard. No, not an iPad case. That just drops the keyboard now and then for fun and I detach it and re-attach
