And I was thinking it was only me.
I also noticed one more thing since last year: At times, my internet speed would feel stalled, so I check if my wireless connection is still ok. I open the wifi connection tray from the right hand corner and I notice that only my SSID is displayed. The moment I hover over my SSID, the other neighboring SSIDs and my other SSIDs(2G, 5G ones to which I am not connected to) appear suddenly. And 8 out of 10 times my speed gets a boost and everything starts working properly.
Can someone tell me why I am seeing a banner on the AWS training site? Is this site genuine? Just want to be careful that's it and understand if its genuine which service is that Amazon has payments issues with :)
Yup exactly my thoughts.
Great work though. Would have loved it if it was open sourced, or a blog post explaining how someone could go about doing this on own.
Quite often user profile data as well. Job title and company in a bunch of projects. Sometimes profile pics. Social media accounts. Location or address details - sometimes just coarse location like "Sydney", sometimes exact delivery addresses - sometimes geolocation co-ordinates used for geofencing or smart defaulting (Apple's new coarse geo location is a good thing here, but I wouldn't want to be the test case in court about whether or not that's PII). Phone numbers (if needed, like for SMS alerts or shitty 2fa verification requirements I can;'t talk people out of).
Where I cone from (.au) even an ip address is considered PII under our Privacy Act if it's linkable to another identifier - an ip address on it's own is not PII, but an ip address and an email address makes the ip address into PII as well as the email address. (It's unclear, but this likely includes storing a "last login date" in your email-containing database table that "could" be correlated to a login api call with an ip address in your log files, even if you are not actively doing that.)
Thank you.. Even if I take some USB or If I can connect it to my laptop and start PI up.. I won't be able to show anything to them. Like connecting it to monitor etc.
unless I am missing anything?
I think it does not come from your address book. Rather, it builds the database from each one of us who register with truecaller with thier numbers. So for example: I register with my phone number 123456789, and you register with your phone number 987654321. Both these numbers would be stored on Truecaller's servers and when you get a call from my number 123456789, and even if you don't have my phone number in your phonebook, you still get to see that I am calling you with my name (the details come from the server). You need Wifi/data connection to get truecaller working. That's my understanding , unless I am utterly wrong.
You are utterly wrong. Truecaller does take its data from the contact book. It's very easy to test as well. If you happen to know someone's number is not on truecaller, do this - add his number in your contact book with some fake name and install true caller after that. When he calls you, you'll see the fake name.
It says: When you download Truecaller from Google Play, it NEVER uploads your phonebook to make it searchable or public. Truecaller needs access to certain capabilities to provide you with a richer experience.
