Re: Will Samsung power a USB Hard Drive?

Great - thanks. I haven't looked at it yet but bought the Pro version right away. I had £9 accumulated from google rewards, so it's kind of free.

If you haven't used that, you get random questions about places you have been and often how you paid. It is data mining which I am uneasy with but I always have location data on all the time to share with my partner(1) and credit cards mine and sell your data anyway.

Typically I get asked the same question all the time and get paid a few pennies :

"were you at shop A"
- yes
"did you pay by A, credit card, B cash, C Debit card"
B
= . 15p

(1) -(after a commuting accident a coupe of years ago I got knocked out.  Loads of people around in the city and got me to the emergency room but always the worry either I might be in a ditch if something like that happens again.   My partner and I share our location with each other, so you pop up on the map.  That is also useful as we are both less than punctual so you get a rough ETA.   There are 3rd party apps that do it but using google is one less data miner and doesn't drain the battery any more than normal
