I get that these aren’t tech people. But there’s a serious gap in protocol that seems to give them the ol’ Whoosh.
If I walked up on the street and asked to see somone’s dB? Lol
If a mutual acquaintance asked for your number? I’d call you with their number.
So would these non-techies. But put them on a machine and they seem to lose their minds.
Psst, want me to help you? Just give me your dB. I’ll make it easy for ya.
And they think that’s okay.
There are so many platforms anymore that I have neither the time nor desire to keep up with even a quarter of them. So maybe eight years back, a friend suggests I check out Snap Chat.
I jump on there to find about 20 pages of names of people who thought it was okay, acceptable, to share my info from their database. I’ve always been very careful and discreet with mine. But to have it thrown right in my face like that, whew. Here’s my message to those folks:
If you think it’s okay to share my private number, or anything else I’ve provided in confidence, with the planet, please delete my number.
I crack me up.

I don’t buy his ‘fell asleep’ excuse. It seems more likely that there was a medical episode that he doesn’t want to reveal, lest it threaten a commercial driver license.
Or maybe he just goes off like a light switch into impertubable REM sleep. Nah.
As for the Youtube app, I disabled it on Android and it has been no trouble since.
Good time for people exit their wrecked cars and stand around in in the middle of a highway. /s
Like so many things, they only seem expensive until you try to make your own.
