The big question I’d want to know is if this is something where they use your face/communication to hide outsourcing work without the consent or knowledge of a company.
If that’s the case you could be on the hook for legal issues, but I think you’d be able to figure it out.
It’s also a tracked email from some service, so just beware that it’s probably not an individual sending these (how often do you use a third party email pixel when you email someone? This implies a pipeline of many people you want to iterate on).
And then while it’s fakeable using LLMs, they haven’t mentioned why YOUR profile is appealing, so it just seems mass spam to me.
I shouted at my partner yesterday. I’d take that back.
I was trying to serve dinner and she decided that’s when she needed to start cleaning stuff. She complains why did I call her over if dinner isn’t ready, except it is ready, the stove is off, the food is cooked — I just physically cannot move the food to the plates because she’s decided to clean in front of the stove and I don’t want to scald her with a hot pan. If she wasn’t there, the food would be on the plates, but I’m stuck.
I just need the kitchen clear for 20 more seconds. I don’t know why loading the dishwasher or bending over at the front of the stove to wipe the floor is urgent, and it’s that combination of “why did you call me if dinner isn’t ready, I’ll come back when it’s ready” mixed with the only reason it’s not served is her placement inside the kitchen that frustrates me so much. And it feels like she doesn’t acknowledge that she plays a role here, and that makes me so angry.
I did apologize but it still makes it feel like I don’t appreciate her, and I do.
Just things that can be correlated. Time, device, network, accounts, and apps all correlate. Precise location, device sensors, etc also correlate.
You have to decide what you want security or privacy against, then you have to be mindful always.
Every internet connection is a fingerprint.
E.g. The second you use that device on an VPN all your apps phoning home, checking notifications, logging events, etc. collapse your profile and deanonymize your anonymous activity.
So I actually use a dedicated device for anything I want a VPN on.
Opsec almost requires that you need a public device for your regular use, and a secondary device with limited scope, third party OS for higher privacy for anything you actually don’t want to share.
It’s safer to tunnel specific whitelisted connections through a VPN than whole device VPN for that reason (the less traffic goes to VPN the better). iOS VPN doesn’t work for that reason.
If you want VPN security, the best way is to run a container with only VPN networking, then a second container with the service you want protected and route all networking through the VPN container.
Also, say no to Chrome based apps looking for devices on your network. That uniquely fingerprints you across tons of surfaces.
They say it’s for chrome cast or something but it’s too much info to share.
It feels a little sketchy to me.
