Islander Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Cracked screens? Don't you guys use protective cases on your phones? For me, most mobile phones feel like bars of soap. They jump out of my hand way too easily, so I've got an Otterbox Defender. That way, I can have a secure grip on it, and it will never get scuffed up. The screen protector has some scratches, but the actual screen looks like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live out in the country. One day some materials showed up at the start of my (dead end) road. Later, some equipment showed up. Clearly something was going on. This was underground boring machine and a spool of conduit. Long story short, it turns out that they were laying fiber optics!!! I was THRILLED. I am the LAST house on the road and are about 1 mile to the end of the road (where I am). They brought the fiber optic line in....came half way down the road, turned to the right and went into a "subdivision" that has TWO homes..... (we have THREE homes on the farm). I asked the installer when they were going to complete the rest of the road and come to us.....he said he didn't know that anyone lived beyond this point, he thought (the road) was simply a driveway. So today, only the first half of my road has fiber optics......I'm stuck on a satellite. Won't surprise me to have another Charlie Brown moment with the 5g 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't surprise me to have another Charlie Brown moment with the 5g --Fibers optics are very expensive in the hundreds of thousands - but for cell phones its different , cell phone cies need towers everywhere to allow coverage for their clients , which means you have a better chance to get 5G Coverage in your isolated area versus Fiber optics ------- in all cases , you can add WIFI antennas on your buildings to receive the internet signal from the fiber optics installation that is closest to you ------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The tracking info is embedded just as much in an apple phone. Other security issues are avoided by staying old school, keep any personal info especially financial from ever touching your phone. The gov't will still have anything they want, they always have, but at least hackers will find nothing to steal. Most of the harmful breaches are sourced from the institutions themselves, not your personal devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be wary of third party apps...Go out to Mange your Apple ID and have them send you data on you.
