Now one of you messaged about six weeks ago with the very sensible question.
In summary, whilst I've covered a lot about organising out homes physically, did I have any ideas on how to organise digitally.

So this was a bit of an impromptu side quest to see how far I could get, the results were interesting!!

Lots more I want to think about in this space!

I do believe that you have declared "WAR" on the media controlling "DICKTAORS" and no I spelled it the way I feel. Sorta on this subject, I was made aware about 4 years ago from a good friend that informed me about his brothers very successful smart tv data mining and how it listens to you even when the tv is off. Oh yeah check out the fine print that you agreed too before you could use your new Smart Tv. These companies have no intention of EVER loosing control of the money tree. I dont own a smart tv and havent watched mor than hour of shows a day on my basic smartless tv. No Alexa no google assistant and yes all of my devices have the camera lens taped over. I love the direction you trying to head keep it up.

Hands on Katie

That's a great point Rhett - I should have covered the data-mining aspect also, I don't think most people realise this. The challenge is it'd become a video in its own right!

Yes I suppose I “ Broad Stroked “ it. But most people don’t even notice that when they comment about something ( auto parts, clothes ) etc that most of the time an ad will pop up on your phone or tv very soon after you comment on it. I accidentally realized that the Alexa was always listening even when not asked a question. I had just gotten one as a gift and had it on my dining room table when I made this remark to my roommate , “ I wonder how much the total take home was for our states (SC) billionaire lottery winner was? A general non directed question. Within 10 seconds Alexa answered me 666 million… I immediately packed it up and gave it to a friend of mine that had 2 children. So everyone is listening and profiting from our day to day conversations!

One question with Kodi, how easy was it to expand the storage without rebuilding the array? I only bought one ssd for now.
