A mute button for that POS Biden would certainly be helpful at times.

I turned off the internet one time. Like this.

Bad things happened.

One day, trying to hide will be considered a suspicious act.

It already is - "Silence is consent"

Oh My God, people will still be able to know that I have NO empathy for illegals or muzzies or pedos or treasonists within our own government ? And that I could care less about what they think? Oh my...I am gonna unplug at the modem right now! /s (not sarcarstic about the muzzies/illegals/treasonists/pedos...kill them of course)

IT Crowd-The Button For The Internet

“How will “they” watch me if I turn it off?”

Just because you turn off your computer and no new site will make you vulnerable, there are certain openings in the system that remain on at all times. Windows has a setting, that upon reboot by windows update, it will relaunch programs that were open, and those programs such as word and excel remember what files were open and open those for you too.

Do you allow open upgrading, do you turn off your clock and date, is your phone attached to the system, online banking...all are open doors for hackers to step through. Do you make sure the computer is not in a program that will remain on for awhile after shutdown attempt and the screen you didn’t look at said it was open? It’s easy to do.

I take it a step further when I dump my history before closing every time. I learned this from the guy that works on my system ocassionally that the first thing he does is erase all memory.

I don’t use my computer at home. I unplugged it years ago.

[outofsalt]

I’m worried that the light in my refrigerator stays on when I close the door. I wake up late at night and stress over it.

[21twelve]

Unscrew the light bulb.

Or - don’t wake up late at night.

[outofsalt]

Thanks! That helps.
Now, "Why do fools fall in love?"
