was just thinking about the honeypot idea (yeah ok this is still really bothering me lol) and got maybe a better idea: honeypot the cameras but instead of blackholing their traffic, just limit their upload bandwidth to something ridiculous like 500 bps. that way they still "work"

i guess i'd have to see if they do some kind of speed test, but if so it's probably not to the same servers they dump their surveillance to (of course this is all cloud-hosted garbage, which is part of the reason why i am so mad). either way allowing some traffic but not all shouldn't be too hard either

that doesn't do anything about their microphones though, which is honestly what i am more concerned about. i do remote therapy sessions usually, using airpods and with the door closed, but now i'm thinking that's not sufficient lol

e: like yeah i care about the cameras too, but i'm not really doing anything that i'd care about them seeing (...most of the time, lol). hearing is a different matter

imo beefy nothing you can do to the cameras will inflict more misery on your parents than leaving them to pointlessly monitor them for the rest of their lives

my daughter's apple watch was assigned a phone number that used to be a chiropractic office until like a year ago. we had to change her number because she was getting so many junk calls and texts.

do those even function as separate numbers? i tried texting and calling mine back when i had a data plan on the watch and i'd either get "message blocking is active" when texting or a recording that "this subscriber isn't accepting calls" or something to that effect when calling. of course, calls and texts to my phone's phone number worked though

but that was on at&t, maybe other services do it differently? though i've tried the same on data-only t-mobile plans (not on a watch) just to get more or less the same result, although texting a cellular gateway makes the sms come up as an "important service message" lol

she has just the watch (and also on at&t), no phone, so yeah it's a separate number.

The watch still needs to be set up using a phone, but you can set it up "on behalf of" a family member and it'll use their apple id and run separate from the phone that configure it.
