The last guy to implement that was shot. Just thought they might want to know that. (And veterans tend to be good shots).

Deleting your device’s advertising ID is like roaming a room full of strangers without wearing a name tag, EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told the @washingtonpost.com – someone can figure out who you are, but it takes more effort.

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food. This has been survival tips with Jen.

Not every med student follows a traditional path. 🤗 Dr. Kira Grush went from teaching to medicine, while Dr. Erin McArthur shifted from engineering to patient care. Their journeys prove there’s no one way to make an impact in health care! 🌟 #medsky
