Living in a vehicle the last few years has helped me save & keep all the money I would've otherwise paid to a landlord. So I can afford a security system now, and urgently need one because people are starting to catch onto my patterns and hover around my vehicle like vultures. Please tell me the best security system you know of. I am not savvy with electronics and gadgets, and I never will be. So I need someone to tell me.

I'm thinking of a fuel kill switch or battery kill switch or whatever that thing is;

I'm thinking of camera system that I can monitor with my smartphone from wherever I am, etc

I'm thinking keeping several air tags all around my vehicle, in pockets of clothing, and in bags, and under my mattress (can I use Apple air tags if I don't own any apple devices??, I run on Samsung and Lenovo and Linux);

Please tell me where to get these things, what the best brands are of fuel/battery kill switches, camera monitoring system

I tried proton in 2019. My life fell apart for a few years but now I've come back to proton again.

So is everything I do on my network 100% secure now? Sincere question. I am not a computer expert. Please tell me.

I entered Experian into my calendar.

But I did NOT enter that weird emoji gibberish: dead roses, coffin, skull, cute puppies, happy faces, circus? What the heck is this

If you have your starlink satellite thing mounted on top of your vehicle, the only time you can get internet is when you are within range of your vehicle, right?

In case there's no Wi-Fi available, and you're away from your vehicle, which is a situation that is pretty constant in my life.

I presume there's no starlink hotspot to carry around(?)

Like it's been nice to have my Verizon hotspot "Orbic" shitty little thing when my phone's unlimited data service is slow or spotty but even the Orbic has shitty service sometimes.

I definitely want to abandon evil extortionate Verizon. Please tell me if I become a starlink customer, I won't be able to use my phone indoors at work which doesn't allow us to use their Wi-Fi, And when I'm walking around town, what to do for internet?

Please tell me your most highly recommended ISP that isn't extortionate & manipulative.

I'm tired of these places coming up in all my searches because I will never go back to these places again.

I've been using it for years and for the most part if you want to go back and access a video you uploaded, it stalls and buffers and makes the videos useless to watch without redownloading them to your device.

Also when you are uploading and creating folders, when you want to deposit something into a folder it kicks you back out to the parent menu and you have to scroll back down and find the folder you made again, it constantly kicks you back out to the previous level and you have to start all over again.

😡

I'm pretty sure technology has advanced to the point that this frustrating glitch could be easily remedied on their end.

And if you upload something from your device to onedrive in order to free up some space on your device, You better wait at least a day before deleting it from your device, otherwise when you go back to access it on Microsoft OneDrive, you might find that it doesn't exist because you deleted it too soon from your device after uploading to OneDrive, even after visually and experientially confirming that it did indeed upload to OneDrive.

I switched to Microsoft OneDrive after deciding that Dropbox sucks. Dropbox sucks because it requires to use Microsoft Windows, otherwise it will take up all the storage space on your device unless you go deep into some settings in Microsoft Windows to untoggle that "option." So I tried to untoggle that option by using someone else's Microsoft Windows for a minute but I couldn't find the obscure settings for this obscure problem, and I don't have nor want Microsoft Windows, it is extortionate.

The only reason I ended up with Microsoft OneDrive was that I was in a pinch and I needed a cloud storage solution to replace Dropbox because Dropbox had rendered my phone useless by maxxing out its internal storage.

I haven't delved into the Linux options yet, I need to work on synchronizing all my devices with Linux and getting rid of windows & Google. I'm so sick of their extortionate practices.
