You can create virtual cards linked to your bank account and the transaction data is masked when processed by you bank. All my bank transactions show up as NSA Gift Shop. My bank doesn’t know where I’m spending my money. Yes you have to trust privacy.com…
Similar question: Android smart watches only connect to one phone. I like receiving silent notifications on my watch from my android phone. However I also have an Apple phone for work and would like a ring or some other small wearable (not a second watch) to receive notifications from my Apple phone.
I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.
The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.
First quick check of the app with classysharkExodus shows the following trackers built in:
- Google AdMob - “AdMob makes earning revenue easy with in-app ads, actionable insights, and powerful, easy-to-use tools that grow your app business”

We need an online guide, based on make and model, on how to disable the transmission of this data.
As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.
“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.
I did some more testing and I can access my Nginx Proxy Manager from outside my network. The issue appears to be accessing the self-hosted applications on my home server, mainly Jellyfin. I still think the issue is the IP conflict with Tailscale. NPM is fairly easy to configure and is setup correctly with my domain name.
