#1 Why not just keep the phone in a small Faraday cage?

#3 Yes to all above. But be sure, hide it under a hammer.

We had a ZTE. I was having coffee with the boys at our country store and the French Press was brought up as a wonderful taste method of our morning fuel.

I got back to the cabin later, logged into Amazon looking for screen door part. Suggested other purchases came up and WTF!?

2 of the suggestions were French Presses.

I have tried cold brewing my coffee grounds for about 30 hours at room temp. Wonderful taste, for sure. Definitely coffee but much milder & smoother than the same grind brewed in a drip/filter machine with hot water. Next time I go tent camping I will definitely use that method.

#6 What can you do to avoid being tracked?

Keep your phone in a bucket of water. But make sure it is a metal bucket.

#7 You mean them people aren't making free apps out of the goodness of their heart or obligation to communism?
