Feel really guilty, my one family member gave me this. I don't use much google stuff anymore and I really dislike the company as it gets more intrusive. Is there anything I can do with this thing besides give it away? Nothing is worse than getting a gift that you can't use.

Yeah. I already informed them I don't feel comfortable with it in the house. But I'm also the type to use TOR on all my devices. So I don't know how paranoid that came off as.

I think I am going to try to trace down where they got it from. I'm thinking Walmart so, they may take it without a receipt I hope.

Best to sell it. Since you use Tor you’re probably already on a watchlist

Didn't you know? Only criminals use Tor! \s

I just prefer it to not get pre-aggrigated results.

People stand out more on emptier streets. Just using TOR is enough to get you on a list. Whoever's watching wants to know what you're hiding - even if it's just lists of common words you weren't sure you were using right.
