I actually really like this. Is the touch screen active? Like can you "click" components of your dashboard?

Opinions on Expert Infotech, Mobile Station?
Main Post:
Does anyone have any experience purchasing from Expert Infotech or Mobile Station? I'm looking at purchasing a new phone, but I'm hesitant that the prices are so low from companies I've never heard of, I don't want to end up getting a counterfeit/refurbished device.
Top Comment: Don't just take people's experience in buying from these places; you're really wanting to hear from people who've had to return or get items repaired. From my experience, I wouldn't buy anything from Expert Infotech that I couldn't afford to either have out of action for a couple of months or just pay out of pocket to be repaired. Bought a high end camera from them several years ago which had a fault and ended up away in Hong Kong for two months being repaired, while they lied and told me it had been sent to Nikon New Zealand. I got it back from them sellotaped in a single layer of bubble wrap with the rubber viewfinder eye cup missing and not fixed at all. Cue refusal from them for a refund and an offer to exchange it for a much lower-end camera instead, and another couple of weeks (all while they kept the camera as I'd returned it to them) of arguing until they finally agreed - and then refused to pay out the refund until I supplied them with the rubber viewfinder eye cup their Hong Kong repair agent had lost. I did get a full refund in the end, but even when you know your rights under the CGA it's not usually worth the hassle.
Just found out my personal info is in the dark web. What should i do?

I got a notification from ID notify and it looks like the reason it was out there was because of the tmobile incidence back in 2021. What should I do? This is making me very nervous and scared.
Top Comment: You and 50 other people who posted earlier. Everyone's info is on the dark web somewhere. You just need to make yours more painful to steal. As usual, freeze credit and consumer reports. Get IRS IP PIN, get state equivalent. Proactively sign up to important government sites (like IRS, SSA, USPS (informed delivery), state tax, DMV) and credit/consumer report sites (like Equifax, Experian, Transunion, Innovis, Chexsystems). Secure your phone, phone account, customer service password, e-mail account, devices. Use unique passwords and 2FA.
Opinions about buying refurbished/"like-new" phoens from ExpertInfoTech(einfo)?

So im looking to buy a second hand phone sold in a "like-new" condition from einfo.
those who have dealt with einfo in the past, particularly with their second hand devices, what is your experience? Are the phones of good quality?
Top Comment: They’re good. Also check out duct tape in ponsyby. They specialise in Apple. They’re pretty good. We replace all our stuff with these guys.
Public Data Websites
Main Post:
Hello,
I'm in the process of removing my public information and was told by Skatterveket that the websites run independently using public data, so I have been in the process of writing to each of them. I've searched my full name with my city and have managed to write to the following to request removal:
So far that is I've found but I'm wondering if there are any others I'm missing?
Tack så mycket!
Top Comment: I can't think of any others. Of course your data will still be accessible at Skatteverket and other institutions if someone contacts them (unless you get protected identity). But in terms of publicly-available search engines, I think you got them all.

Top Comment: EasyOptOuts. It’s $20 for a year, well worth it. The big one only you as an individual can remove the data is PeopleConnect. Once you do that, ~80% of the results online go away. PeopleConnect owns TruthFinder and Intelius and all that data is exposed. Start here: https://suppression.peopleconnect.us/

How can I remove personal information from all those websites?
Main Post:
I've been living in Sweden for over 3 years now and I always wondered why you can find personal information on websites such as mrkoll. People say it lowers corruption - well, in my end it increases the amount of attempted break ins!
Apparantly I am in the top 5 earners of my kommun..... Since I entered this a couple of months ago based on my salary in 2021, we had 9 attempted break ins. I've asked the policy how to remove the information from those annoying websites, but they just said it is public information... While talking with neighbours, they always say things as 'you don't have to worry about the electricity prices', or 'I bet you have a lot of fancy equipment at your house'. We don't own an expensive car and live in a pretty cheap house, so they could only find out how much I am earning because of those stupid websites.
Besides the fact that I own the right to my own information, I am still to be found on those websites, even though I asked them and used BankID to verify myself. What can I do? I am desperate, I have a very expensive alarm which costs me also a lot per month and I don't feel safe knowing that everybody knows how much I earn.
Wtf Sweden... It doesn't make any sense to publish this kind of information 'to lower corruption'. Nobody needs to know what cars I have, how much I earn and how many dogs I have. How the f... would this lower corruption?
Top Comment: You know, when you say things like “while talking with neighbours, they always say things as ‘you don’t have to worry about the electricity prices’, or ‘I bet you have a lot of fancy equipment at your house’”, that convinces me that you’re just full of BS. Swedes are very unlikely to be that direct. And nine burglary attempts in a few months? Also, today you claim to have lived in Sweden for “over 3 years”, three months ago it was “over 1 year”. Time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? Who are you? Russian troll?
