    They're extremely confident in their almost total & complete ignorance. (E.g., iKooks have absolutely no idea how _crippled_ Apple products are.)

    Nonetheless, instead of dealing with the wrapping paper that the iKooks love so much, moving on, as Usenet is water under the bridge, here is the gift.

    Here's another bit of purposefully helpful detailed kind-hearted advice for the Usenet volunteer team, which is that most of the Android graphical Wi-Fi and Signal Strength tools _require_ the GPS receiver radio to be turned on, which you don't need for the tool, but for a Google requirement (let's not
    go into why Google requires GPS as it's easy to prevent if you know how). <https://i.postimg.cc/4xgmTTgm/wifi01.jpg> graphical radio debuggers

    To save others time, and bearing in mind I only suggest the best and most often downloaded and the highest rated free ad-free usually gsf-free always google-free tools in the extensive Android APK arsenal in order to maintain all my tutorials at the level that anyone can install them at this instant, here is a link to just one of the many Wi-Fi and Cellular debuggers I use. *Cellular-Z* by JerseyHo, 4.0, 1,700 reviews, 100K+ installs, etc. <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=make.more.r2d2.cellular_z>
    But I should note there are _plenty_ of graphical debuggers I use daily. <https://i.postimg.cc/Hn05bQwG/wifi02.jpg> Variety of graphical debuggers

    Although it should be noted, for privacy reasons, I don't use a Google
    Google Play client, but an open source Google Play client which scrapes the exact same repo as does Google Play (and which doesn't require a login on
    the device which is a critical privacy feature iOS completely lacks). <https://auroraoss.com/>

    Given privacy is _always_ a concern, on Android the free ad-free mock location app I prefer is the one below which Android settings accept.
    *Fake GPS location* by Lexa, 4.6 out of 500K reviews, 10M+ downloads <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps>
    Which, coincidentally, has the option to "spoof the Wi-Fi provider". <https://i.postimg.cc/pdf8prL4/screenshot03.jpg> Spoof Wi-Fi Provider
    If you're on iOS, tough luck (again), as iOS lacks this kind of privacy.

    Moving forward, the next thing you might want is a text-to-speech converter that saves _directly_ to a wav file suitable for the notification channel
    (or for the alarm channel, which isn't muted when the phone is silenced). *Tell Me - Text To Speech* by Simply Complex Apps, 4.1, 500K+ installs <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplycomplexapps.ASTellme>
    Once you have the notification (or alarm) wav file saved, then you need an app that will speak when you lose (or regain) your cellular connection. *Cellular Connection Monitor* by Pavel Borzenkov, 4.0, 10K+ installs, etc. <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simple.axanor.simpleconnectivitymonitor>
    Of all the apps I tested, that wasn't perfect, but it was the best, and to their credit, Steve and micky tested it and found it to work as advertised. <https://i.postimg.cc/Njw312j1/lostsignal01.jpg> Testing alert apps <https://i.postimg.cc/x1Y5Tv6L/lostsignal02.jpg> Play Store client ratings <https://i.postimg.cc/8zRjbV12/lostsignal03.jpg> Custom verbal alert

    When you have that set up, you might want to add a shortcut to a widget
    (yes, I said a shortcut to a widget) that will connect and disconnect from any of your many access points at a single touch of a button.

    I have this need more than do most people because not only do I have many access points sprinkled about my home and property such as these below. <https://i.postimg.cc/YqTk0q1T/ap.jpg> Cellular repeater & home Wi-Fi APs

    But I also have my SOHO routers set up to NOT broadcast the SSID to protect my gps location and unique BSSIDs from being uploaded to Google & Mozilla
    and Kismet (et. al) public databases (and no, "_nomap" doesn't do that).

    Doing that isn't for security but for privacy, but then you _also_ have to set up each device to _not_ automatically try to reconnect when the signal
    is lost, which means that having a shortcut icon to connect & disconnect is
    a really nice click-saving feature given my devices are set for privacy.

    Given I am extremely well organized on a computer or phone as shown here: <https://i.postimg.cc/7LmRqXNn/organize01.jpg> Android organization <https://i.postimg.cc/bN7bp2Bf/organize02.jpg> Windows organization

    You'll notice there is one homescreen page (ever!) on any device, even iPads <https://i.postimg.cc/LXzB3Lc0/appleid01.jpg> One home screen
    (Note it's impossible to set up an iOS homescreen the way you want to!)

    For this reason, I didn't want AP on/off widgets that wouldn't slide _into_
    a homescreen folder, which is what this neat free app allows you to create: *Wifi Shortcuts+* by OpenGait.NET 3.8, 10K+ downloads, free, ad-free, etc. <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.opengait.wifishortcuts>

    number:

    <XnsAC34A629C8F3DHT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    Prior to my giving you that cell number, there was no way
    at all for you to link it to me in any possible way shape
    or form. it doesn't come up in any records search on me.
    It is using a recycled number, but damn near everything is
    these days so that doesn't count as public information,
    snit.
    ...
    As in, the cell doesn't come back to me, wouldn't ever
    come back to me, therefore the fact *I* have that cell
    number is NOT public information. I find it very hard to
    believe that even you'd have difficulty understanding this
    concept.
    -----

    <XnsAC32ADC5A8EECHT1@VoX89Pwp95.083.GODrcd>
    -----
    I've only been sharing whats available via a public
    database. You haven't. :)
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62BCD27FHT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    You cannot find any link to that number to me on any
    database. Which makes it private. not public as you
    incorrectly assume.
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62CD62DDHT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    Your number, even tied to your name, is in a public
    database.

    No, it's not. You already tried to link the two of us
    previously.
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62EE3F39HT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    It's not a publically known number that links to me. And
    he knows that.
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62BCD27FHT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    The number is NOT TIED TO ME in any public database, in
    any way shape or form. You cannot get the number aside
    from my having provided it to you via a google search or a
    public records search.
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62ACDF8HT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    Regardless of where the number shows up, it doesn't tie
    itself to me, and you cannot associate the number with me
    via a google search, OR any number of free/paid public
    records searches. Therefore, that is PRIVATE information
    that you think you're holding over my head, not public as
    you erroneously think here.
    -----

    <XnsAC34A62A42D90HT1@1b2yUZpg51V1q.6EF009.jKrc>
    -----
    It's not, running my name doesn't provide that cell
    number. The two are not linked in any way shape or form.
    The number itself as is the case with any recycled number
    is in all kinds of databases, but it's not linked to me;
    therefore, that IS PRIVATE information that you can't get
    via a google search or a paid public records search.

    They are relevant to the fact YOU INSERTED the phone
    number I provided you verbally into a bogus call log video
    you've taken the time to create. When I use the cell I
    provided you the number for to make outbound calls, It
    *ALWAYS* reports Kingsport, TN. Not one single time has it
    ever, nor would it have any reason to report Johnson City.
    It doesn't pick cities at random, it doesn't go by my
    present location, either. That's actually fixed, as is the
    number assigned to the phone.

    You didn't even score the right city, Snit. And, the
    correct city is common, public knowledge with the regulars
    here. The moment you unblocked 'Johnson City' in your
    videos, you were busted.
    -----

    <XnsAC212DEE4D1DCHT1@gt3i2B7y.5N0FOv3e210vLOej4O4doj8b>
    -----
    David, every single Address you've posted that's supposed
    to be mine has been Kingsport. Not Johnson City. Don't you
    think you should tell snit that was a fuckup on his part
    by now? :)
    -----

    <XnsAC21106DF6C20HT1@3R4NM89td0T86C.231IPkH>
    -----
    His response to that was to file a report with the
    kingsport,tn police. Well hell, why not the johnson city
    ones? That's where he claimed the call said it originated
    from. :)

    Dustin Cook is a functionally illiterate fraud


    Glasser Michael Snit must appreciate that others can go get mySQL, right, sicko? Add to that, anyone can can get software to block his crap, which renders _his_ kiddie crap meaningless, just like Glasser Michael Snit. It's
    a spam message. Glasser Michael Snit has already decided what he is going
    to say before he calls. What you say just a reaction. What Rod Speed says
    just a reaction. Gremlin: functionally illiterate fraud. Ending support
    for DOS programs is long overdue. He would have to be suffering from Alzheimers to be unsure of whether or not he "never had" built a program. Ring any
    bells? When a guy can not remember his past claims and utilizes fake, face saving rot later, it's very clear what his error is.
