      Your service provider is probably already doing it “the old way” for them, free of charge.

        No doubt. But if I can lower the number of trails I leave then I will do it.

        And when it’s time for crime, my phone goes elsewhere. Look where I wasn’t!

      They just allow your phone to connect ton their super great service cell tower and they got you homie, or perhaps they ping you from your smart tv or the wifi at the supermarket you aint living 20 years ago.

        Why would I connect my phone to a smart TV or the wifi at the supermarket? Shit, I even pulled the telemetry modem out of my car. I don’t leave my phone’s wifi on while I’m out and about.

        I can’t stop every vector but I can make it harder.

        Cell towers for sure and they got me.

            Good thing I use a monitor and separate speakers then? And it wouldn’t have access to my phone anyway. Because my TV doesn’t need to connect to my router or anything else.

            This thread is a bunch of defeatists calling it too hard to not connect everything to the internet and let their devices betray them.

            But I ain’t living 20 years ago. I put up a bit of defense in the face of modern conveniences.
