Yeah, other than freezing credit, there’s not much you can do. It’s a toothpaste out of the tube scenario. It’s basically too late. The offerings always suck and are basically only there so they can say they’re doing something for you.

Other than that, harden your privacy in general. Yeah, it doesn’t help for breaches like this because you can’t hide from your doctors, but simple things like having an alternate email address makes it a tiny bit better.

Yeah, that’s the one that came up in my initial search. The recommended app Tuner is pretty damn good.

Thanks for the rec. I tried it last night and am very happy with it, better than what I expected.

I actually own a chromatic tuner, and it stays at home with my guitar. Sometimes I’m elsewhere and need a tuner. Which for the record the recommended Tuner app is phenomenal, and very accurate.

Thanks. I wholeheartedly agree. I was just looking for recommendations from the community based on experience.

Thank you. I’m going to check it out.

People like to ntpick and fight. GrapheneOS is one of the best options (realistically of just a few) out there, and it’s pretty damn good and simple to get into.

I can’t comment on their privacy, but I thought of Nine when I read your post. I used it back before the Outlook app supported folders. I think it was a great alternative and worked better than anything out there… Mind you, it was years ago.

Also, have you thought about using a different user profile for just work? I know you’re asking about apps but you can gain some privacy from segregation too.

Have you read Means of Control (Byron Tau)? He tracks the evolution of all of this and how we got to where we are today. Yes, 9/11 fast-tracked it but there’s so much more to it. Highly recommended.

JMP is my recommendation too. I don’t think you can pause it, but the cost is so low it might not matter.

If you need more storage, the secondhand market is better for you anyway.

Though I just saw a 7 pro with 512GB on Woot for under $500. That’s a decent deal.

Regular Pixel 8s are going for 500 on a deal.

Proton and Mullvad are the only 2 I’d trust. I suspect that they get similar results.

Proton has gotten a lot better since launch, but it’s always a moving target with these things. I really only have issues with some store sites that just don’t load with a VPN, which only tells me I don’t want to shop there.

For proton? They’ve always offered more storage on a paid tier over free. Plus they give you additional storage every year you’re subscribed.

I’m interested to follow the comments here. TVs are not a one size fits all product and very tough to choose between at times, even without privacy in mind.

My gut is that the choice will be panel based, with the option to turn microphones off.

I’ve been looking at the LG C3 and would not connect internet and then turn the mic off. If there’s better options I’d love to hear them.

The problem is that YouTube music is vastly inferior to google play music.

I’m not a fan of services that make themselves worse and then charge you for it.

The paid experience is a decent one, but it isn’t the same as service that I want. I want to control what I watch and not be fed what they think I want to watch.

But I don’t disagree that paying for a good service is worth it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I see there’s gesture typing support if you load a library. Which one do you use if any?
