Honestly don't know and don't care. I'm not pairing my phone to shit. They keyboard worked fine and the only rational explanation I can come up with is that they're intentionally fucking shit up just get more of that sweet sweet data.

There really is no good TV solution...

I'm about to just buy a cheap mini PC and run all my services through the browser on Linux. This shit just continues to get more and more invasive.

E: Hijacking my own top comment: it was a bug. Restarted the device and the keyboard came back.

Doesn't really matter if you use it or not.

Meta applies a myriad of advanced and complicated tracking methods. Email is a very popular and easy one. I believe the one you're referring to is called a tracking pixel.

For example, some browsers block tracking Pixels, but if you're logged into Amazon with an email address that Meta knows, they will sell your shopping habits to Meta to show you ads.

I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don't want to do it, just don't.

I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though...

It would if it had the necessary firmware. It doesn't support Ad Hoc connections.

Is that like a live action Carmen Sandiego?

I prefer not to "get used to" a super slow service.

It's not hard to use but definitely doesn't work well, in my experience.
