The article’s title, How to Secure Your Phone’s Data Before Traveling Abroad, is misleading. It’s aimed at people travelling to the US who need to hide their online activity from border officials. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/technology/personaltech/travel-burner-phone-cbp.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

If you've ever felt uneasy about being tracked online or wondered why ads feel eerily accurate, check my latest post: www.danchrist.com/google-priva...

It's time to close the blinds on Google's watchful eye. They don't need your data.

Take control today! #personaltech #onlinesafety

I’m baffled why people keep using the term “real-time” to describe Threads. It’s an algorithmic timeline. You might see a post a minute after it goes up. You might see it twenty hours later. That’s not real-time. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/12/technology/personaltech/meta-threads-review.html

I think it's wrong to allow companies an unfettered ability to remotely reprogram or even disable consumer products.

One solution could be a "right to uninstall," remote updates. Could be fairly conditioned by an end to manufacturers' warranties.

This story might change how you think about tech support forever.
