  • That’s actually good since bluetooth alone can be used to estimate your location. If the app can see all other bluetooth names, thet can be correlated to other user’s data where the oosition is known.

    And if you hit “pair new device”, you phone will likely blast it’s name out to all other bluetooth devices, givingyup it’s position to any other nosy device/app.

    Same goes for wifi.














  • I was speaking in general terms. Cloud storage is one solution. You photos are usually automatically uploaded. The most convenient solution for Android is probably Google Photos.

    I use Syncthing, which can be setup on the Camera folder and only enabled when on wifi and power. Every night, my new photos are uploaded to a file server at home and then spread to all other devices.

    Syncthing can also be setup to remove files from any device, just like how Dropbox and other such cloud storage services work. You can use this to keep the phone clean by moving the files out of the synced Camera folder on any other device. In my case, I also have a way larger Photos folder which will only sync to devices with more storage.

    When the phone storage is staring to fill, I clean up/edit the new photos in the Camera folder - on a desktop computer - and then move them over.

    Don’t forget to also backup your files! If you make a mistake on one device, you may wipe the files on all devices 😱




  • Yes, this is why I chose not to say that it was impossible.

    Perhaps the mathematical definition of a tree is wrong in stating there should be not loops, or should change to another metaphor.

    Hairs can split but never merges back again. Perhaps a split hair instead of a branch? We still trim or prune the leaves ends. What do you call the “trunk” of a hair?
