That would probably cost too much. At least I hope so.

Amazon used to provide free networking for its readers... I think that it is very cheap to transfer text/"meta-data"... It might even be sponsored by the government...

Or just don't connect them to the network?

Any of them automatically connect to open wifi networks or maybe cellular networks?

A US person (for tax purposes) should not be dealing with a brokerage company operating outside of the US. The US government has decided that the only reason someone would do that is to evade taxes (although money laundering is a nice cover story) and punishes such behaviour with accordingly with additional paperwork and bureaucratic headaches.

A brokerage company operating outside of the US should still be sending you relevant local tax forms. If they are operating in a tax haven, well, maybe don't do business with companies operating in tax havens if you want your US taxes to be easy.

The FBI stole my Litecoins from BTC-E ... I didn't even claim that loss because it was very small.

As an iPhone user I’d like to think iOS does not allow this. However, I understand there’s a private API that allows larger companies access to functions that are not available to regular developers. It allows them access to the microphone without the red bar showing even when there’s not a call. Like others have, I’ve received ads for products spoken about near my phone but never typed into a device I own or on my router.

Google guarantees to actually delete your emails 30 days after you delete them from your account.

The GDPR law in europe requires them to do this for european citizens.

unless there is a secret law that prevents them to actually do it...

Please don't use the number of lines as a metric for simplicity, it really doesn't mean anything

For two programs that do the same thing coded in the same language, I would pick the one with the least amount of lines but that doesn't mean that less work went into it... Probably the opposite

In that case, I'll wait a few years, until the fit and finish catches up.

Tesla is already starting to see competitors... if they don't get better quality control, it will probably hurt them soon enough
