    WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? —
    Amazon devices will soon automatically share your Internet with neighbors
    Amazon's experiment wireless mesh networking turns users into guinea pigs.

    Amazon’s decision to make Sidewalk an opt-out service rather than an opt-in one is also telling. The company knows the only chance of the service gaining critical mass is to turn it on by default, so that’s what it’s doing. Fortunately, turning Sidewalk off is relatively painless. It involves:

    1. Opening the Alexa app
    2. Opening More and selecting Settings
    3. Selecting Account Settings
    4. Selecting Amazon Sidewalk
    5. Turning Amazon Sidewalk Off
    No doubt, the benefits of Sidewalk for some people will outweigh the risks. But for the many, if not the vast majority of users, there’s little upside and plenty of downside. Amazon representatives didn’t respond to a request for comment.

    My grandmother used to call this smut. lol She used to buy the National Enquirer, sew the pages together so it wouldn’t come apart and read it to my grandfather. When I would visit she would only read a few things to me and tell me it’s a smut magazine with lies.

    I was in the grocery store recently and didn’t see the smut magazines at the register, I read the cover in line. lol. I asked the cashier, she laughed, and stated that they have a whole display for them.

    I am going to need one for 2021 as well. Caught Covid in January and broke my humerus in March and getting ready to get a second opinion on my arm to make sure I did not tear the rotator cuff

    Sorry to hear that, but you survived Covid and that is an accomplishment far too many did not. Good luck with your second opinion.

    Yea I had to go to Wake Med Heart Center and get the monoclonal antibodies. I think that may of been my saving grace since I am diabetic with High blood pressure.
