Tracker blocker don’t work. there’s nothing that there’s nothing to get rid of the locator and everything. I’ve tried. Every suggestion doesn’t matter I go and search it says oh you know your location so no there is no way to hide.

@PasticheofSkin no it picks up your location so if you like try to go into something that’s based off your location. I tried every option every option that you’re not trying they’re all liars.

I haven’t seen ads on internet since like 2000, always use Ghostery at the minimum, install adblocker and script blocker. Or use Brave. Even Google until this day still has trouble pinpointing my location and it’s pretty random every time they try and I’m using the same IP for about 20 years.

I used an AI notes app for a year at work. It spat out notes about 3 times the length of what I’d just usually write myself. Which was good for a time, detail was helpful.. But… I’ve still gotta read and edit them to make sure it is accurate. Then if I want to pass the case along to someone else they have 3 times the amount to read and it’s just… Not that helpful to have huge amounts of detail.
