At the invitation of my niece, I downloaded ZOOM.
The app is free both to download and use and all you need is a camera and mic on your device, (the larger the better).
Days ahead of time, the niece sent our whole family an invitation to visit at a certain date and time.
We are all spread out over the country and globe actually.

All I had to do was click on her invitation link at the appointed time and zooooom there we all were, each of us in a window.
When someone spoke, their window was a little larger than the others.
You get 40 minutes for your meeting … and then the screen goes blank, but if you go back to your email and click on the original invitation: zoom, you are back in the room.
I am so glad I have it for personal visits ... and God forbid if I need a visit with my doctor, he does both zoom and skype.
It was a hoot … and the best medicine ever.

You mean the Chinese Communist Party has AI to place your relationships in their Big Data... :mrgreen: That way, if anyone has a security clearance, or is in an occupation of interest, the Chi-Com will know how to get to them. The Chi-Com have a nice head start because they already stole the records of millions from the (in-secure) Feds idiots.

I just checked under my bed and in the closet too.
No boogie man.

I was chatting with my daughter and grandson on a FB messenger video call yesterday when I asked her about the reported hotspot of COVID-19 cases in Polk County where she lives. Our connection immediately went fuzzy, made some funny noises, locked up, and then disconnected. Clearly, Big Brother is watching me.

Well he won’t be under the bed or in a closet!
Listening in from far away!

Thanx all for the heads ups.
I will continue 'coding' my classified information hidden in seemingly random thoughts about my toilet paper supply, the age of my alpha cat and the increasing length of my hair.
