waiting for summer N95 subnet mask 😷<p>My brother had been using wifi battery monitors on his, his girlfriend's, and my cars for the last few years since we don't drive every day.

Feorlen<p>Got the paper copy of the privacy disclosure a few days ago from my medical provider’s office. This is the one that, while required to be made available to me, the provider did not have access to. They had to ask Phreesia for it on my behalf.</p><p>It is literally an agreement to receive ads based on my protected health data.</p><p>At the time, I interpreted it to mean I had to agree or Phreesia would not send the information I gave them to my provider. <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/InternetOfShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfShit</span></a></p>
