Having worked in the repossession industry I can tell you it's a messy one. It's become such a sh*t show between vendors and the actual agents/companies, it's a fight to who can bid the lowest for each car. Also I'm not sure how this will work, there is so much regulation in the repossession industry.
I'm in the process of trying to de-Google my life. Apart from being forced to use Google at my workplace I want nothing to do with them other than google searches. I have 4 Gmails though, a few personal and a few for etc sites. I was thinking about setting up a forwarder for all to 1 email account. Any recommendations for a dumb phone? I know Google and Android phones go hand in hand.
FWIW, I've never posted anything on SO and none of my GitHub comments/issues are going to be deleted. It's not so much what I post, it's more of a conscious thing, knowing I have stuff online for the world to see. It just doesn't sit well with me anymore. I'm not by any means a public figure or popular it's just tinhat things I guess.
I'm not surprised. GoDaddy supported the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Is the public still not convinced GoDaddy is an evil and shady company? When someone mentions them I always advise them to transfer their domain/hosting elsewhere.
What's interesting to me is the letter sent to the parents house, it's similar to that of a scam email requesting for millions of bitcoin... or else. The irony.
Side note: could have this happened if you ran a browser with JS turned off?
Ever since I got my first iPhone around 2009 I've always set all of my notifications to off, everything from phone calls to SMS, and all the apps. Not one single notification pops up. Unless I'm expecting an important call I don't feel like I should be notified for everything. It has worked great for me and not getting distracted as much.
