Google is too clever

Have you asked it how to fix your DALI problem ?.

That'd be why your talking scales say 'get off' when you try to weigh yourself then :P

Indeed I have.

You wouldn't trust your customer list and a whole lot worse to anyone and don't even like people in the public eavesdropping on your conversations, studies have proven.

Iggy, this is _UK_ D-I-Y. Google is American.

at a login screen for an account I dont have?

Well, if you did, it would tell you everywhere you've ever been with an Android phone...

The problem is when it comes to important info most of these sites are clueless, as they only know the info they have been told, often by the venue and the history of you. So if nobody has put on the database that half the visitors the d before went down with food poisoning or had issues with over chlorination you would not know about it. Brian

If you sign into your Google account it will show you every journey you[r phone] have made even if you don't use Google maps (because it's s*it).

The temptation to spell "F*CK OFF" (a la "Sherlock") one quiet Sunday is hard to resist.

What would Clarkson do?

I'm neither, since the page (i) doesn't render correctly (amusingly, in Chrome), (ii) has my current location some 6,000 miles incorrect and (iii) tells me that my location history is disabled anyway.

If you have a mobile phone, *any* mobile phone, not just a smartphone, the MNO has always known where you (or at least, it) are, in some cases to a resolution of a few centimeters.

Wrong. It *may* tell you that.

It will tell you that pretty much by default.

Until you learn how to turn it off.

Tim Watts formulated the question :

I turned it off on all of my systems, except one - the laptop I keep in the tourer caravan. That was logged as used in three places this past year.

It would be interesting, because I have never been anywhere with an android phone, nor ever knowingly touched one inappropiately.

I don't have a Google account....
