Maybe, wouldn’t something like a Faraday bag work though? Then you don’t even run the risk of someone trying to twist the meaning of whatever regulation might exist to try to charge you with something.

That is a point, could someone even do that on something classed as a phone though? Don’t most places have some kind of law about these devices always being able to reach emergency services like 911?

It seems like it’d be relatively simple for a bad actor to record something and just… wait until you had a data connection though wouldn’t it? Seems like it’d be more secure to just keep there from being any data to send rather than relying on a bad actor not being able to send it. Am I missing something here?

I know that you’re trying to help, and I appreciate the sentiment. But that advice is literally meaningless.

Build a company? Doing what? I’ve got 3 autistic kids with varying levels of developmental disability, a partner who we just discovered has a pituitary tumor that’s causing her to have episodes where she loses large chunks of her memory for hours on end or “just” become so dizzy and disoriented that she can barely walk unassisted, and I’ve got chronic joint pain which makes it to where I can barely manage to take care of everyone else along with myself.

We live off government assistance and my partner’s disability benefits. So we have draconian asset/income limits we have to live within to not lose food/housing money. Like several months ago we got approved for an extra like $300 a month for our oldest because of his disability and we immediately lost roughly $250 dollars a month in benefits. We get in trouble for having more than like $3,000 in assets.

We know a handful of other disabled people in the area and we all try to help each other where we can but “where we can” is very few and far between. We’re all barely holding it together out here as it is. We just don’t have the resources.

That feel when you’re disabled and know it’s happening but can’t do anything about it. You try to find time to at least do something, but it feels like you’ve dumped one bucket of water out of a boat and in the time it took you to do that two buckets worth of water have leaked into the boat.

Good thing I’m only pretending to be an adult with any idea what I’m doing.
