    Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because you’re not wrong. I guess you could have been a bit be more clear. A lot of shops use radio signal tracking (e.g. bluetooth, wifi) to track your physical location in the store.

    Even without the apps mentioned in the article, the store can see a bluetooth device with a unique identifier (Bluetooth MAC address of your phone), walking through specific isles and how long you stand still at a section.

    For best privacy: use wired headphones and put your phone in airplane mode












  • I second Language Transfer.

    I tried to study Arabic with duolingo for about two years, but I never got very far since nothing is properly explained.

    Then I started to watch regular classes that someone recorded (in my native language), and I started using language transfer.

    With those together I got much farther in a month than I ever got with duolingo.

    Nothing beats a class where you can discuss with the students and ask questions to the teacher.

    But if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, language transfer and recorded lessons on YouTube are so much better than duolingo
