Horrible experience with google gemini constantly taking away my keypad while I try to write a message. It pestered me. How to stop this? I followed instructions to disable it but hit a dead end. Tried to remove it. Nogo. I really hate this.

Verizon customer service REALLY SUCKS. Especially at their Hilo Hi store. Trying now to bail out and that isn't easy either.

If you desire off line encrypted communications with neighbors within 2 or 3 km. Consider a meshnet. We're using Meshtastic but others are available. Unit cost with battery backup, container and antenna only $33. You supply USB cord and wallwart.

I was subject to a "casual stop" by the blues and had to unlock my phone for inspection. "Unlock this phone or we will sieze it." They gave no reason for this action. Apparently being a pedestrian is suspicious activity. After a few moments browsing they returned it. "Am I free to go?" "Yes."

Do not carry your smart phone in public. Buy a cheap flip phone $20 and one year card $100. Its cheap insurance against invasive "casual stops" conducted at random by the blues. Its for on the road emegencies. Keep contacts list to a minimum. Don't consent to search. Invoke the 5th and STAY silent.

Tying medical insurance to a corporate job is cruel and unusual. Added burden for self employed entrepreneurs and their families. Fall on hard times, no medical. Bankruptcy. Its cruel.

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security. They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.
