  • Some smart TVs do a lot of tracking and reporting back. I think it was Samsung that was recording pretty much everything that was said in the room and reporting back.

    Separate email addresses means that you can keep track of who's been sharing your email and spamming and block them. Also means your login details are unique to each site so if one gets hacked it won't compromise any others. I use a domain on gandi.net for this. Also means you can avoid Gmail if you want

  • Separate email addresses means that you can keep track of who's been sharing your email and spamming and block them

    @aggi how do you do that in practice? Hypothetically if I have 3 email accounts I use to mix up purchases and accounts, how do I track who has shared my email? If I had one email per account/ purchase (infeasible) - I guess I could see it

  • if one of them is a gmail address you can use the + to do this

    so test+company@gmail.com would go to the test@gmail.com inbox, and you can then filter on it.

    don't know about other places though.

  • Personally I have my own domain so it doesn't matter what's before the @ if it's sent to that domain I get it (unless I've blocked it).

    E.g. for lfgss you could use lfgss@mydomain.co.uk BBC you'd use bbc@mydomain.co.uk and so on.

    I use gandi.net which is something like 10 or 20 euros a year.
