Ryan... leave the damn thing at home, in an old microwave oven that you don't use anymore (it is a Faraday shield, the only way to truly keep it from communicating). They know everything, the 'off' button just turns off the display and disables (sort of) the touch screen. I'm a degreed electrical engineer, retired Professional Engineer, Life Fellow of my professional association, owner of my own manufacturing company... and I won't have a cell phone. Landline at home, last I've heard they can't use them to spy on us. Our TV is the last generation not to be internet-enabled, and our 'cable' TV that runs over the internet, we unplug (take away its power completely) when we're not using it. No '1984 telescreen' for us. Sadly most in the present times are seduced by the convenience of all this. I know how it works and sorry, no thanks. It's not just Huawei we have to be concerned with.
