Good to know.
Thanks bluegrass, I've never used it but am constantly asked by all the young scammer girls here.

Thanks bluegrass. Updated as we speak

just as an fyi , most things do
facebook messenger as an exzample
me computer wont let me run it to install it pops up as a virus

be sure to read what the app has accsess to
if it has access to a mic and or camera , it can turn those on at any time it pleases

there is a reason why i unplug my mic and cam when not in use : )

someone wants to spy on me , they should at least have to pay for a movie ticket or somethen <smurk>

and thanks Bluegrass for the heads up , but that one has been out there for a while : (
something else i am finding out a lot of people dont know
they make antiviruses and firewalls for your cell phones
seams a lot of people dont know there smart phone is a mini computer
<shrug>
stay safe all

Which is why i will never have one of those goofy phones...
My desktop computer doesn't have a built in camera *or* microphone..and I have no intention of buying a web cam or micrpophone to plug into it...

You know Amazon *pays some employees* to listen in to/ on you Alexa....another device I will never get...

well auto listenen devices have been a round for a long long time
Art Bell type time
wow been a while sine i pulled up that info
think it was the 60's / 70's
but for some reason i wanna say late 40's early 50's
<shrug>
i dont mind them listenen but what bothers me is misinterpretation
when i say i am goen go drop a bomb , that dont mean ya need to send the police or the abc group to me house
the toilet might dissagree , but
<shrug>

and they should at least click like on me facebook page if they goen read it
lol
