i was finishing your sentence for you. that's what smart tvs are for. so you can connect to the internet and... watch streaming services/listen to spotify while only needing wifi to do it. you can also do screen mirroring without an hdmi cable on a smart tv.

Pretty sure you can turn off most of the egregious advertising and tracking. Also, HTPC or streaming from your phone over HDMI is also an option.

If you have comcast/xfinity and have your own modem, check your bill to see if they're billing you for a rental modem anyhow. I've got a bill in collections with those fucks I am never going to pay, don't even care if that means I'm using DSL until the end of time. Comcast is never getting another cent out of me.

Comcast has a monopoly on the market here unless I want Hughesnet. I don't want satellite internet.

If you have a cell phone, you're being listened in on so no. None of you are getting around it. Enjoy the advertisements.

I was pretty disturbed when Facebook suggested as a friend the owner of the yacht I was working on last year. We had no mutual friends and literally the only way it could have known I was in regular contact with a Western Australian billionaire mining magnate is by reading my phone. Thanks Zuck

Hughesnet is hilariously expensive for the bandwidth you get and the ping. Centurylink is who I have now, and while it's not great, it's fine for streaming, xbox gaming, and casual browsing. I don't do poo poo that requires any faster than what I get with DSL.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:If you have comcast/xfinity and have your own modem, check your bill to see if they're billing you for a rental modem anyhow. I am currently suing a collection agency in federal court over a Comcast account. I posted about it here before, but the gist of it is essentially someone stole my identity when I left the Army and opened a Comcast account with it. I notified Comcast immediately and they never closed it despite saying they did. Years later they sent it to collections and still haven't corrected it. I've got a law firm out of Denver that is handling the entire thing for me on contingency so I didn't even need to front the money for the suit. They are still exploring whether or not I have an actionable claim against Comcast for originally furnishing the debt to the collection agency and not closing the account when I contacted them with proof it was identity theft. This will be sometime after they finish the claims against the collection agency for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You live somewhere near Denver, right? Want me to PM you the contact info?

Companies will have counter-advertising campaigns where if your phone hears a commercial or the browser gets an ad for a competing brand such as Coca-Cola, you'll be served a Pepsi ad very soon.

Colorado Springs. I'm not bothering with legal action. If they send me a summons for $120~ I'll just show up and demand documentation proving I own the debt. A lot of debt cases get thrown out because the collections agencies don't actually have billing agreements or documentation from whoever is trying to collect. They win judgements because people don't show up. But if you do show, and they only have a spreadsheet printout with your information and nothing else, they'll drop it or the judge will throw it out as lacking evidence, which they wouldn't need to submit if you're not present. Realistically, I need a lawyer who would take contingency for a suit against my apartment complex, who wrote themselves into breach of lease contract last month. Nothing like denying payments by checks (cashiers, personal or MO) when the lease explicitly says, on the first page, that checks will be accepted at the office. Also never fixing anything, including windows that won't secure and a handful of fire hazards.

I have a Facebook just for keeping in touch with a few people I liked and check it like once a week but there is no way in hell I'll ever, ever let that poo poo touch my phone. Bullshit app gets uninstalled right out of the box and I never loving sign in with a mobile device. I don't even let MY google account touch my phone. Phones get a completely fake gmail address I made for that and that alone. Probably still doesn't work and call me paranoid but screw it, shits scary.

I haven't accessed facebook or logged into my account in almost 10 years but it still sometimes sends me emails with friend suggestions. One time it emailed me asking if I knew my weed guy. I met him 4 years after the last time I ever touched facebook

I don't have Facebook with privacy being a big reason. Now if anyone does have a poo poo ton of information on me it's Amazon. 9 years of data on my spending habits. Google probably knows a bunch about my porn habits.

Casimir Radon posted:I'd always heard how awful Comcast was. Then I got internet from them 5 months ago and it was really painless. I went in expecting to argue with them about how I didn't need all the poo poo I imagined them trying to sell me. Then they accepted that I just wanted internet right away and that was that. the only time i have had issues with comcast were when i got back from deployment and they had renovated our barracks, and somehow or another we were only getting half the bandwidth we were supposed to be getting. i refused to pay my bill because of the dogshit service and managed to get like three months free service from them, but only after bitching up a storm about it. and today was relatively painless, it was just a long process, but they didn't question me at all about extending my service discount for another year (and upgrading me to the next tier speed for free -- which was just kind of offered out of the blue).

We had no mutual friends and literally the only way it could have known I was in regular contact with a Western Australian billionaire mining magnate is by reading my phone. I used to teach English in Egypt and had a real rear end in a top hat of a student. Argumentative and a prick to everyone, but never really showed any signs of being religious. A few years ago, he pops up in the "people you may know" thing on Facebook. Kid had gone from being a run of the mill rear end in a top hat to a full on jihadi rear end in a top hat. His profile picture showed him in fatigues and was cropped out just enough to obscure the rifle he was probably holding in his right hand. His cover photo showed a place with snow on the ground- it doesn't snow in Egypt, but it sure does in Syria or Lebanon. His timeline was dotted with photos of Osama Bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Baghdadi. We had no mutual friends. I went through my emails and we had never corresponded. I have no idea how or why he showed up in my feed. The saving grace was this occurred in mid-2015, and he hadn't posted since mid-2013. I can only hope he got waxed in Syria, and I hope it hurt. gently caress that dude.

I wonder about that. After I got tagged in pics at a veterans shooting match earlier this year, I keep getting dudes from Najaf showing up in 'people you may know.' I don't know what the gently caress. I keep blocking them whenever they come up.
