old man Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Asking all members to please consider downloading an app from playstore called 'Dream Lab' This app allows your mobile phone to be used overnight by Imperial College London to crunch statistical data speeding the fight against Cancer. It's easy to use and will run in most cases at no additional cost to you on your wi-fi. Please give it a look and consider helping future generations? Thanks for looking. Forgot to say please pass it on. Edited February 3, 2019 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Sorry, but have to agree with Swinton. I just don't trust a stranger with access to my phone - far to open to abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Well id rather donate money to get them a new server. To give somebody access to your connections, which WILL be able to view everything you do is a big no no. No matter their good intentions. And seeing as its a app from vodafone, a supplier who in their own right could crunch statical data with a tiny percentage of their hardware. Todays modern age i trust no one with my data. Bad enough people today use facebook without acknowledging what all the data (messages, phonebook, call history, calls on and on) do and make money by selling your data. Theres a reason its free and these are multi billion pound companys. Dont take it personally though, a cause to beat cancer is just and deserving, and often ignored, but not by giving away your rights of privacy to a app. Just my view.

Atb Not taking anything personally, all personal choice, I suspect that the snooping abilities of organisations worldwide don't rely on the downloading of APPs.

figgy Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Don't think a vpn is foolproof. They spend big money to know your business. I done something like this years ago with home computer, they only use a small amount of your network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
