Privacy warning: They are even forcing people who fly RC planes and Drones to have Remote ID Which will tell the FAA exactly where the RC plane and user are located... They are also passing laws to force new cars to have Remote Kill Switches. They can stop any car, anywhere for any reason.... (Who needs a warrant when you have a kill switch..)

Hey, Sir! Great video!

Bought a Garmin watch and pixel 4a 5g (installed lineageos) for Christmas presents this year

A linux tablet seems cool. Thanks for the video, Rob.

Awesome video!

A warning about SONY headphones. I had two sets of thieir highend regular "studio" phones. On both of them, the plastic "leather" that surrounds your ears, started crumbling and flaking off in 3-4 years. I've got 20+ year old headphones that have never done this. So I wrote it off to a fluke and ordered genuine SONY replacements. Guess what happened again? Since then I bought slightly more expensive replacements from a different audio maker, and still have no problem with them. SONY has apparently buying cheap plastics from poor sources. I'd hate to buy pricey headphones from them--only to have them crumble apart the same way.

Did you know that on another KZread channel of Naomi Campbell stating that they"ve been suing their consumers just for using their website? Since Sony Corporation has been in cohoots with deceiving their own customers since way back in 2008, things had slowly but surely going downhill from there. Since Sony Corporation had stopped making decent headphones,and their computer software and hardware products,things for them having been the same ever since. Shame on them.

I think it would have been good to clarify that one could get an Android phone if it was from a manufacturer that allows bootloader unlocking, in order to install a custom ROM (and that the user plans to do so). It's not like you can buy them with an OS other than Android on them (in like 99% of cases at least)

AOSU and Eufy are not connected to Amazon. But not unsurprising if they use AWS since most big companies do and even I use it for Brax.me. Ring and Blink are directly under the control of Amazon. Your videos are stored locally on your device and are encrypted when viewing.

Per the Apple airtag website.. “Only you can see where your AirTag is. Your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag itself. Devices that relay the location of your AirTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it.” Is the assumption that this is a lie? Or is there some detail they’ve omitted?
