:)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes. I keep it in airplane mode almost all of the time. No cell radio, bluetooth or GPS, but I do use wifi. If I want to do a web search or check my email, and I'm out of wifi range, I will briefly turn on the cell radio. These things are long established habits, so they don't seem like a burden or require a lot of thought. Airplane mode also saves me from spam phone calls and those national security alert things where the phone makes a loud noise design to provoke maximum anxiety until you acknowledge that a child has gone missing in Thunder Bay or that you should consider washing your hands. I'm done with that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>There's more I could be doing. I could install a more secure and private Android distro (one that is fully degooglized). That's on my TODO list. I could power off my phone and store it in the fridge (faraday cage) when I'm not using it, as recommended by Edward Snowden, but I'm too lazy and/or internet-addicted to do that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On Sun, Apr 19, 2020, at 1:38 PM, Mikalai Birukou via kwlug-disc wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt"><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CALQNZN56kFuA5K5gM8kTWXMQwPSo9Xn1Mek8pXM6o9Q5rGkWNw@mail.gmail.com"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="qt-gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;">Funny, your comments
