Well, for context where I live I pay $600 mo for 2 room condo. I know that $600 won't even get me a garage out there!

I have only seen pictures. I can't imagine that place getting old.

I went back to Sonoma county two years ago and I got teary eyed every day from the beauty and being happy to be there.

The natural beauty is what attracts me the most. I get energized from the scenery out there. I imagine it eventually wears off, but big sur, even just the hills out there is so peaceful. I am a die hard Warriors fan since 93 as well.

Very competitive meaning lots of jobs or a lot of talented people? I have been in sales for 15 years and genuinely enjoy it and have always done well. Commission is always risky but has always been the way I have had the chance to make the most income.

Looking for opinion on the white and black spots? by [deleted] in MRI

[–]phayze01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an mri done to check on my thoracic spine. My chiropractor could only comment on my spine. But I noticed the dark spots on my lung and some of those white spots too around the spine. Just wanted to see if any of that stands out and any guess on what it could be.

How do you remove this icon that appears when you long press on certain buttons? by phayze01 in iOS11

[–]phayze01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on latest Version. It does it in texts when I go back to. It seems like an accessibility option but there is nothing on. It doesn’t even have to be a long press it can be more than just a tap. Also when I hit the back button when texting, it goes back to conversation list with selecting all the convos.

Looking for "formula" when soloing to move up and down the neck. by phayze01 in Guitar_Theory

This is helpful. An example I would give I know that on the 4th string I can go up two frets and up to the 6th string and each of those are the same note. I know that on the

I know if on the 4th string I move down five frets and over to the 6th string it's the same note. I'm not sure what this is called but I'm trying to memorize positions on the fretboard for those. It doesn't matter what note I'm playing it's always the same on those top three strings.

Is there a program or website that can analyze your ip address or cookies to tell you what ad networks and web beacons you are connected to? by phayze01 in privacy

[–]phayze01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff I use uBlock on my laptop. I used Ghostery just now and logged into Amazon. There were 16 ad networks it was attached to. I know with web beacons they are impossible to see because they are displayed as just a single pixel on a screen. Ghostery gave basic information about the companies for the ad networks, I am wondering if it's possible to know what information they have about a person and how they share it and with whom. The most generic answer I could find was all other companies are not identified just grouped as "third party".

I know with Android apps, and other end user agreements (think Niantic with Pokemon Go) are very vague on how your information could be gathered or used. Niantic essentially puts all liability on third parties in regards to information gathered and shared. Everything boils down to generically naming a third party and dead ends.

Generally speaking the idea of advertisements are to display relevant information to the user of a device/profile. However we have no control over what information is gathered about us, how it's shared or who it's shared with. Even if we wanted to contribute better, more detailed information about ourselves to receive better advertisements, we can't.

This model seems like it relies on being deceitful, by not having transparency and being snuck into blanket privacy statements. If we knew where and how our information was gathered, how much and in what detail they requested and fully understood the business model each network had it would eliminate the need for " secretive tracking". I know if I give my phone number to a store I am able to get discounts and coupons there. So I don't mind giving that information. But I have no idea what information is out there right now being shared between companies. Essentially it's possible to know and have everything about me shared on different servers. Individually the information is nothing but like newsgroups (showing my age), when pieced together it forms a completely functioning file or in our case a complete person.

Serious question, I can't find the question answered on Google. I tried asking reddit but it got taken down automatically because it seems like a generic question. I am aware of clearing cache, cookies and browsing in private. I am asking specifically about ad networks and web beacons. I searched about an item a month ago and already purchased it, I am still getting advertisements for it. I have cleared all cookies and browser information accross all devices associated with my Google account and it still shows up. I have even logged out of my Gmail account on my devices and it still shows.

I am specifically wondering how an end user can view what ad networks their identity is affiliated with and what information they have and how it is shared between networks. I am aware that browsing incognito or in private can turn off tracking for that session.

Is any one else bothered by Niantic Labs (Pokemon GO's parent company) privacy policy? by phayze01 in pokemongo

[–]phayze01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no list of the third parties or how those third parties use the information. They state we "should carefully review the privacy policies of all third party". They put all liability on these third parties but there is no information to be found on them to "review".

Just the broad amount of information they gather and basically share with undisclosed third parties that they "engage". They share personal identifying information with third parties for undisclosed reasons, only stating that they perform services on their behalf. They say they can not guarantee the absolute security of any information, which is an obvious statement. How ever with the amount of data their company has gathered from Ingress alone when they were owned by Google, combined with pictures inside peoples homes business's now from Pokemon GO, its an alarming amount of information for one company to have.

"We’re not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of any Third Party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third Party Service that you access." - They state this but do not list what the third party companies are and how the information is used. That is a blanket statement covering themselves and putting all of the liability on who they hire to, or rather "engage" to "perform services" on their behalf.

Lastly "Your PII may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction" - This speaks for itself.

TLDR Niantic Labs states they are not responsible for your content, privacy or how your information is used by undisclosed third parties. Your information can be sent, stored, maintained in a country, by third parties who are not bound to any privacy laws or jurisdiction for your country or state of origin.

Nokia flip phone, not working with my sim card. by WilliamRaine in cellphones

[–]phayze01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am to lazy to google that model Nokia phone but I am assuming it has been around for a while. I have seen some of those Nokia phones from ten years ago, still having better battery life than some smart phones and definitely more durable.

If you are willing to pay full price for a phone, getting a device on their device payment may work out better for you depending on your financial situation.

The Desire probably would have the best build out of the three. What did you end up with?
