  • Hmm the article I read about it previously seems to be eluding me, I’m going to keep looking for it. From what I remember of the other article, the short of it is, in android, location services can turn on your bluetooth at any point and does every time it gets pinged by google without you turning it on, and they are rolling out a new feature to automatically turn it back on next version. Here’s an adjacent article that talks about one of the future android features, where you can have your phone found even when powered off, and that is using location services, which does involve bluetooth.

    free is never free.

    This phrasing is specifically used around the idea of “if you’re not paying, you’re the product.” The kernel is free, in that it costs nothing to use and it does not collect data. Free things still do cost time/effort, which is often equated with money, but those are actually two different things that are being conflated. Now if you’d said something along the lines of “free stuff still costs peoples time,” yeah I’d agree with that, but that’s not what the sentiment your message communicated.

    Absolutely no one is going around saying that free stuff doesn’t take effort.
