Usually bounce between solar and mechanical for my watch. Also make sure to have a knife with me. And for those saying watch the sun, up here in Alaska it's usually either impossible or unreliable.

Getting mugged for a watch and cash and not having a phone to call 911 doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Love this

I’ve been doing this sort of thing for a while but I include the home as well. I call it going “90s”. It’s great for your emotional well being.

Hubs did this today.

Good advice. I do this routinely. Good practice for needing to cross a border with nothing but the clothes I’m wearing and a string of meaningless words I won’t forget.

hes right. you should try it

A watch is a control mechanism, just look up the sky

It's funny, years back a client of mine had an apple watch a few weeks before they became available, and he told me how he 'was walking through Venice with al gore and was told by al 'I'm gonna get you an apple watch'. And he did. So after the story as I stood talking to my client trying to explain whatever network problem he was having, his wrist went 'bloop!' he looked at his watch, pressed a button and then looked back at me. I continued to explain and 30 seconds or so later his wrist went 'Bloop!' again. He looked at his 'watch' and cleared another notification. A minute later as I continued to explain, again his watch went 'Bloop!' he turned to look at it and then back at me, and I looked him dead in his eyes and said "What is your watch making you to do now?" This man is a competent and accomplished lawyer and business man, with more money that I'm likely to see in my life, and in less than a day, he'd become slave to a little device that he willingly strapped on to his arm.

That's great advice brutha!!!

GM - digital all the way

Mechanical watches used to get spy gadgets fitted in them.

Carry a pocket knife and taser just in case 😎

yep. but... even better, use do not disturb and mute, reduce number of apps and number of notifications, keep phone in pocket, learn not to whip out the phone unless actually necessary. 😜

This is the smartest watch I own

What is with the mechanical watch, genuine question?

I couldn't agree more

Cash as in the fiat kind?

What is “cash” and why is Wad carrying it?😅

Can I smoke weed first?

The simple analogue untrackable life!

I do this almost 5 days now.. so much peace.

Also, use a fountain pen to take notes.

People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List. Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint"). Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to. View quoted note →

What if there's emergency something like car accidents. I need to make phone calls for the ambulance to save someone's life, the place I live people won't help, they make situation worst. We don't know what trouble we get into, do you have alternative for these situations.

Não sei se é o #Snowden de verdade, mas independente disso, gostei bastante do texto. Profilaxia básica com #segurança de dados no geral e #privacidade já garante proteção real contra vigilância passiva, coleta e armazenamento de dados automática. Dificultar isso é fazer mais que a maioria da população, você ainda é um alvo, mas vigilância ativa (dirigida) é mais onerosa, e as precauções especiais ("paranoia extra") não são necessárias para o perfil de risco da maioria. Não precisa usar OpenBSD, mas uma distribuição #Linux como o Mint é tão amigável ao usuário quanto possível, e diferente do Windows, não vem com spyware e rootkits de fábrica (nome social: "telemetria")
