Google has just freaked me out!

[Ratman]

Chill out ya roman goof!
Your quick to create and manipulate threads and others into an argument!!!
We’re just yanking ya chain!!!

If your going on a trail mission of that length your gona need a power source to keep ya recorder going, that could potentially be weighty needing multiple items if your tenting. I’d go with a head mounted gopro or the similar with some offering mega battery life, and it keeps your hands free. B&B is your answer at 15 - 20 mile ish intervals, thats plenty mileage in a day to keep ya just under the threshold of burning yaself out, thats if your doing a full venture of lakes in one hit.
I’ve done quite a lot of the wainwrights, but was a good 10yrs since. Very enjoyable with right weather, f’kin shite and depressing if it decides to turn on ya!

Just how the hell did we all manage before "The Internet" ...you tube ...google ......Etc,  or the rest of this tech that is often talked up as .."Time Saving" !!...sometimes debatable .

We knew folks that knew about things , we had contacts that had contacts and ...Ouuu I don't know, talked directly to someone.

Ironic isn't it , that im saying the above ...On a Internet Forum ! 

Fair to say though that I still prefer to keep the usage of tech to a minimum , surviving just fine without a smart phone ,tablet, gameboy,home control gadgets .......Etc.

Tech/internet is not properly secure whatever way you cut it as most of us do not have a degree in "IT" therefore allowing those who know more (who ever they are ! ) to propagate scams .

We all know of the existence of scams and other nefarious practises with out any disputes I take it !

Not personally mick, you must have a setting on your phone to advise do ya?
6 hours a day sounds a lot, is that a solid usage average mick? i very rarely look/use my phone at work, occasionally i’ll av a looksy on my brew if i get chance, mainly its when i get home after work, but is on/off even then.

The service providers may be being pushed to notify people of their usage.

 

Social media usage is causing some big problems, especially for young girls. Loneliness, self harm and suicide rates are way up.

Just had a look in my settings, could be the sand timer icon “screen time” you have turned on. I’ve just turned it on out of interest.
