Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is hard to explain. The best way to understand is to see it in action; a screenshot of Handsome Squidward and Bob Belcher falling in love over their shared appreciation of cannibalism makes it clear that, while it’s a life sim, the game is really a joke-generating machine. Living the Dream on the Nintendo Switch gives you more tools and fewer restrictions to make those jokes stranger and funnier. But while Living the Dream provides more freedom for creativity, it also has big restrictions on sharing those creations, and the game seems content with inside jokes staying within its virtual walls.

Why physical ID theft is harder to fix than credit card fraud
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
It started with a voicemail from a Hertz rental car location in Miami, Florida. A 57-year-old woman in Los Alamitos, California, was asked when she planned to return a Mercedes-Benz she had never rented. A thief had stolen her driver’s license, replaced the photo with their own and used it to rent the vehicle. The same identity was used to open a credit card account, book airline tickets and reserve hotel stays. By the time she learned what happened, the fraud involved businesses in multiple states.
Clearing her name required police reports in two jurisdictions, written disputes with the credit card issuer and repeated contact with the rental company and hotels. Her accounts were frozen while she submitted notarized copies of her identification and signed fraud affidavits. The process lasted more than a week. She reported losing $78,500 and spent nearly 10 days dealing with the fallout from one stolen ID.
Credit card fraud is usually limited to a single account number. Physical ID theft gives someone the ability to act as you in the real world. As a result, the cleanup process is longer, more intrusive and often tied to your legal record.

5 MYTHS ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT THAT PUT YOUR DATA AT RISK

How credit card fraud recovery works
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you report unauthorized charges to the card issuer within 60 days of the statement date. Federal law limits your liability to $50, and most major issuers waive that entirely. The bank cancels the compromised card number, issues a replacement and removes the disputed charges after an investigation. You may need to confirm transactions and sign a fraud affidavit. The account number changes. Your name, driver’s license and Social Security number stay the same. In most cases, fraud is resolved within one or two billing cycles. That structure gives consumers clarity. There is one issuer, one investigation and one account to correct.
Why physical ID theft recovery is more complicated
Physical ID theft creates problems that go far beyond one financial account. When someone uses your driver’s license, they step into your legal identity. Start with reporting requirements. Most states require you to file a police report before the DMV will issue a replacement linked to fraud. That report number becomes part of your official record. If the misuse happened in another state, you may need to file a second report there.
Next, understand what replacing the card actually does. A new physical card does not erase prior activity. Rental contracts, utility accounts, hotel stays, or police interactions tied to the stolen license still carry your name and license number. Fixing those records takes work. You must contact each business directly and submit documentation. No central agency reverses everything at once. Each company sets its own rules and timeline.
The stakes can rise quickly. For example, if someone abandons a rental car or commits a crime using your stolen ID, law enforcement databases may record your name. At that point, the situation shifts from financial inconvenience to legal exposure.
HOW TO PROTECT A LOVED ONE’S IDENTITY AFTER DEATH
Police reports and formal disputes are often required before businesses will remove fraudulent records. (Kurt “Cyberguy” Knutsson)
How to prove physical ID theft was not yours
With credit card fraud, the issuer investigates the charge. With physical ID theft, businesses and agencies often require you to prove that you did not authorize the activity. That process usually starts at IdentityTheft.gov. The FTC generates an Identity Theft Report, which serves as an official statement of fraud. Most banks, collection agencies and rental companies will not proceed without it.
You may also need:
- A local police report
- A copy of your driver’s license
- A notarized identity affidavit
- Proof of residence tied to the date of the fraud
When thieves open fraudulent accounts in your name, dispute each one separately. Act quickly. Send a written response within 30 days of the first collection notice to protect your rights under federal law. Fraud that appears on your credit report requires another step. Contact Equifax, Experian and TransUnion individually and submit formal disputes with supporting documentation. The credit bureaus then have up to 30 days to complete their investigations. No central agency manages these corrections for you. Instead, every company sets its own documentation rules and timeline. Therefore, you must track deadlines, follow up consistently and keep detailed records of every communication.
You cannot simply replace your driver’s license number after identity theft
When a credit card number is stolen, the bank issues a new one. When a driver’s license is stolen, the number usually remains the same. In California, if your driver’s license is lost or stolen, you can request a replacement card through the DMV online system or at a field office. The official process gets you a new physical card. No new license number is automatically assigned when the card is stolen.
If there is identity misuse tied to the license number, the DMV fraud review process allows you to submit documentation, including police reports, to support an identity theft claim before they take further action. A Social Security number is even harder to change. The Social Security Administration approves new numbers only in cases involving continued harm. Applicants must provide extensive documentation and appear in person.
A stolen physical ID, such as your license, includes:
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Address
- Driver’s license number
- Signature
That information is sufficient for in-person identity checks, rental contracts, certain loan applications and travel-related transactions.
Credit monitoring alerts can help you detect identity misuse before it spreads across multiple accounts. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
Why ongoing identity protection matters
There is no single agency that tracks misuse of your driver’s license across rental companies, lenders, collection agencies and law enforcement systems. That burden falls on you.
Identity theft services monitor your identity across all three credit bureaus and alert you to new credit inquiries, account openings and changes to your credit file. If fraud appears, you are assigned a dedicated U.S.-based case manager who helps:
- File disputes with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion
- Prepare and submit FTC Identity Theft Reports
- Contact creditors and collection agencies
- Track documentation deadlines and responses
- Assist with reimbursement claims when eligible
Plans can include identity theft insurance of up to $1 million per adult to cover eligible expenses such as lost wages, legal fees and document replacement costs related to identity theft recovery.
No service can prevent every misuse of a stolen ID. But when the issue involves police reports, credit bureaus, tax agencies and collection accounts, having structured support can make all the difference.
The California woman in this case was not enrolled in an identity theft protection service. Some businesses may reverse fraudulent charges, but it is unclear whether she recovered the full $78,500.

Kurt’s key takeaways
Credit card fraud follows a defined path. You report the charge, the issuer investigates and your account number changes. In most cases, the disruption ends there. Physical ID theft moves differently. It spreads across rental companies, hotels, credit bureaus and sometimes law enforcement databases. Instead of one dispute, you may face several. Instead of replacing a number, you must protect a permanent identity marker tied to your name. That shift matters. A stolen driver’s license carries your legal identity into the real world. Therefore, recovery demands documentation, patience and persistence. Each business sets its own rules. Each agency runs its own timeline. You coordinate the process. The lesson is clear. Protecting your financial accounts is critical. However, protecting your physical identification may be even more important. Once someone uses it in person, the cleanup becomes personal, procedural and time-consuming. Layered monitoring, early alerts and fast reporting reduce long-term damage. The faster you respond, the more control you keep.

YouTube’s time management settings now have an option to put a zero-minute time limit on Shorts, effectively removing them from your app in Android and iOS. The option is an update to the Shorts timer YouTube originally announced in October; the lowest previous option was 15 minutes.
The feature was expanded in January to give parents some control over how long their kids spend scrolling through Shorts, with an option for zero minutes “coming soon.” According to YouTube spokesperson Makenzie Spiller, the option to set the timer to zero is now “live for all parents, and is currently being rolled out to everyone,” including users with regular adult accounts.
Regardless of age, it can be a handy tool for anyone who wants to spend a little less time scrolling. The Shorts tab won’t show any videos once you hit your limit, just a notification that you’ve “reached your Shorts feed limit.” In our tests, hitting the time limit also removes Shorts from the Home screen, so by setting the timer to zero you can ignore Shorts entirely if you want. To turn on the timer, go to the settings in the YouTube app and select “time management” then toggle on the Shorts feed limit and select a time for it.

Many of the apps and devices we use every day contain privacy terms most people never read. Yet those clauses often allow extensive data harvesting, behavioral tracking and long-term storage of personal information. Some even allow companies to access recordings or share data with partners.
The reality is simple. Smart devices inside your home and car can build detailed profiles about your daily life. Your schedule. Your habits. Even your conversations. One way I explain this to people is simple. Your phone knows where you go. Your smart home knows what you do when you get there. I unpack how this works in everyday life on my Beyond Connected podcast at getbeyondconnected.com. In many cases, these devices are not just reacting to you. They are actively logging, analyzing, and storing your behavior by default, often without you realizing it.
Let’s walk through five privacy clauses that surprise most people. We will start with number five and count down to the most unsettling one.
YOUR PHONE SHARES DATA AT NIGHT: HERE’S HOW TO STOP IT

Clause No. 5: ‘We log and share your driving data’
Today’s vehicles are no longer just transportation. Many now operate as connected computers on wheels. Connected vehicle platforms and systems, such as Android Automotive OS, collect large amounts of telemetry data.
That can include:
- Vehicle speed
- Seat usage
- Climate controls
- Location and trip data
Researchers have found that vehicles may gather dozens or even hundreds of data points during normal driving. In some cases, researchers found that vehicle speed can be logged as frequently as 25 times per second, creating a highly detailed record of how you drive.
What this means for drivers
Your car may know:
- Where you drive
- When you drive
- How aggressively you accelerate or brake
- Which seats are occupied
That data can be used to infer stops, turns, and even risky driving behavior. In some cases, it may also be shared with third parties for advertising, insurance, or financing purposes. In other words, your vehicle can create a detailed picture of your driving behavior and routines. Many drivers never realize how much information their car collects.

Clause No. 4: ‘We track what you watch’
Your television may be one of the most active data collectors in your home. Many smart TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, and Roku use a technology called Automatic Content Recognition, often shortened to ACR.
ACR can analyze what appears on your screen across:
- Streaming apps
- Cable television
- Gaming consoles
- HDMI devices
This technology works in real time, identifying what you are watching and reporting that information back to the company. Some policies even state that snippets of audio or video may be shared with third parties to match ads to your viewing. Some lawsuits have alleged that certain TVs capture screenshots extremely frequently to identify content.
Why this matters
Your TV can learn:
- What shows you watch
- When you watch them
- How long you stay on each program
- Which devices you connect to the TV
That means the show you binge, the time you watch it, and even how long you stay engaged can be packaged and sold to advertisers almost instantly. That viewing data may then be shared with advertising partners to build detailed marketing profiles.
Clause No. 3: ‘We track your behavior and location’
Video doorbells are designed to increase home security. Yet they can also gather large amounts of behavioral data. Devices like the Ring Video Doorbell may automatically collect information such as:
- Device identifiers
- Browsing activity
- Usage patterns
- Timestamps
Privacy disclosures also show that these devices can collect geolocation data, IP addresses, and details about the devices connected to your network.
What that data can reveal
Over time, a doorbell camera can build a timeline that shows:
- When you leave home
- When deliveries arrive
- How often visitors come
- Which devices connect to your network
Put together, this creates a detailed map of your daily routine, including when you are home, when you are away, and how your household operates. Individually, these signals seem harmless. Together, they can reveal detailed patterns about your household. If an account is ever compromised, that data can act as a blueprint of your life, not just a camera feed.
Clause No. 2: ‘Humans may review your recordings’
Some smart devices store recordings that help improve voice recognition and AI systems. Devices that may store recordings include:
Past regulatory findings have raised concerns about how companies manage that stored data. In some cases, recordings may be accessed by:
- Human reviewers
- Contractors
- Internal teams that are training AI systems
Some company disclosures state that a small number of recordings may be reviewed by research and development teams to improve products and services.
Why this clause raises eyebrows
The goal of human review is often to improve voice assistants or detect errors. Still, many users never realize that recordings captured inside their homes may be reviewed by people. That means a conversation in your living room or a clip from your front door could be seen or heard by someone you have never met. Transparency about how this process works remains an ongoing discussion across the tech industry.
Clause No. 1: ‘We store your voice indefinitely’
Voice assistants sit quietly in kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms waiting for their wake word. Devices like the Amazon Echo process voice commands in the cloud.
According to company disclosures, voice interactions can include:
- Audio recordings sent to cloud servers
- Transcripts stored in your account
- Voice data used to improve services
In many cases, these recordings are saved by default and can remain stored indefinitely unless you manually delete them or change your settings.
Why this is the most surprising clause
Over time, your voice assistant may accumulate years of audio interactions. That can include everything from grocery lists and song requests to conversations you did not even realize were captured. That history can reveal daily routines, requests, shopping habits, and personal questions. Most people never review or delete those recordings.
Why smart devices are a privacy multiplier
Each individual device collects only part of the picture. Together, they can reveal an astonishing amount of detail about your life. Smart devices inside your home and vehicle may capture:
- Conversations
- Daily schedules
- Viewing habits
- Location history
- Visitor patterns
- Voice biometrics
Combined, this data allows companies to build extremely detailed behavioral profiles. That is why privacy experts call connected homes a data multiplier. In many cases, the value of that data is part of the business model, helping offset the cost of the devices themselves.
5 privacy moves to take back control of your tech
The good news is you still have ways to reduce how much information your devices collect. Here are a few practical steps that can make a big difference.

No. 5: Audit your app permissions
Start by reviewing what access your apps have to your devices. If you use smart home apps like Ring, also check in-app privacy settings such as Control Center and turn off sharing with third parties where available.
On iPhone
- Open Settings
- Tap Privacy & Security
- Select Location Services, Microphone or Camera
- Review which apps have access
Whenever possible, set location access to While Using the App rather than Always.
On Android
Settings may vary depending on your Android phone’s manufacturer
DATA BROKERS ACCUSED OF HIDING OPT-OUT PAGES FROM GOOGLE
- Open Settings
- Tap Security and Privacy
- Tap More privacy settings
- Select Permission Manager
- Review Location, Microphone, and Camera permissions
Whenever possible, set location access to Allow only while using the app rather than Allow all the time.
Removing unnecessary permissions helps limit background tracking.
No. 4: Turn off smart TV tracking
Most TVs include a setting that controls content tracking.
Look for options such as:
- ACR
- Viewing Data
- Interest-Based Ads
On Roku, go to Settings → Privacy → Smart TV Experience and disable it. On Samsung, look for Viewing Information Services and turn it off.
Turn these features off in the privacy or advertising section of your TV settings.
No. 3: Use stronger passwords
Smart home devices often connect to important accounts. If attackers access those accounts, they may control cameras, speakers, or home automation systems. Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever available. A password manager can help generate and store secure passwords.
Next, see if your email has been exposed in past breaches. Our No. 1 password manager (see Cyberguy.com) pick includes a built-in breach scanner that checks whether your email address or passwords have appeared in known leaks. If you discover a match, immediately change any reused passwords and secure those accounts with new, unique credentials.

5 TECH TERMS THAT SHAPE YOUR ONLINE PRIVACY
No. 2: Delete old apps and accounts
Dormant apps and forgotten services often keep your personal information for years.
Take time to:
- Remove apps you no longer use
- Close accounts tied to old services
- Revoke unused permissions
Cleaning up digital clutter reduces your data footprint.
Remove apps you no longer use
On iPhone (iOS 18 and newer)
- Find the app on your Home Screen
- Press and hold the app icon
- Tap Remove App
- Tap Delete App
- Tap Delete to confirm
You can also remove apps through storage settings:
- Open Settings
- Tap General
- Tap iPhone Storage
- Select the app
- Tap Delete App
- Tap Delete to confirm
Deleting the app removes it from your device and frees up storage space.
On Android (Android 14 and newer)
Settings may vary depending on your Android phone’s manufacturer.
- Find the app on your Home Screen or App Drawer
- Press and hold the app icon
- Tap Uninstall
- Tap OK or Uninstall to confirm
You can also remove apps through settings:
- Open Settings
- Tap Apps or Apps & notifications
- Select the app you want to remove

Removing unused apps helps reduce the amount of data stored on your device.
Revoke unused permissions
Some apps continue accessing your camera, microphone or location even when you rarely use them.
On iPhone
- Open Settings
- Tap Privacy & Security
- Select a category such as Location Services, Microphone or Camera
- Review the apps listed
- Turn off access for apps that do not need it
You can also control tracking:
5 MYTHS ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT THAT PUT YOUR DATA AT RISK

Today’s phones may automatically remove permissions from apps you have not used for a long time, but many apps still retain data tied to your account. Reviewing them manually helps reduce tracking and background data collection.
No. 1: Limit always-listening devices
Smart speakers constantly wait for wake words like “Alexa” or “Hey Google.” That means the microphone stays active so the device can detect commands. If you rarely use these features, limiting them can reduce how much audio data leaves your home. Here are some simple ways to reduce always-listening devices.
Mute the microphone on smart speakers
Most smart speakers include a physical microphone mute button.
Press the mic mute button on devices like:
- Amazon Echo
- Google Nest speakers
- Apple HomePod
When muted, the device stops listening for wake words.
Unplug devices in private spaces
Bedrooms and home offices are common places where people prefer extra privacy. If a speaker or smart display is rarely used in those rooms, unplugging it removes the microphone entirely.
Review voice recordings in your account
Many voice assistants store past interactions. You can review and delete recordings inside the companion apps, such as:
- Alexa app
- Google Home app
- Apple Home app
Set recordings to auto-delete or choose not to save them at all, where that option exists. Removing stored recordings prevents them from accumulating over time.
Disable voice activation on some devices
Some smart TVs, phones and tablets include voice assistants. Look in device settings for options such as:
- Voice assistant
- Voice wake word
- Hands-free voice control
Turning those features off stops devices from constantly listening. Even though devices listen only for wake words, the microphones remain active. Limiting where these devices operate helps reduce the amount of audio data collected inside your home.
Kurt’s key takeaways
Smart devices make daily life easier. They play music, answer questions, show visitors at the door and control lights with a voice command. But convenience often comes with hidden trade-offs. Many privacy clauses are buried deep in policies that most people never read. Over time, those permissions allow companies to gather enormous amounts of behavioral data. That does not mean you need to abandon smart technology. It simply means understanding what your devices collect and deciding what level of access you are comfortable with. Many of these settings are enabled by default, not because you chose them, but because you never knew they were there. A quick privacy audit today can prevent years of unnecessary data collection tomorrow. Oh, and if you want a deeper dive into how these hidden data practices affect your daily life, check out the latest episode of my Beyond Connected podcast at getbeyondconnected.com, where we break it down.
Here is a question worth asking yourself: If every smart device in your home combined its data into one timeline of your life, how comfortable would you feel with someone seeing it? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

Living the Dream is the sequel to a 3DS game that, a decade ago, I called “the weirdest thing Nintendo has ever made.” It’s sort of like The Sims or Animal Crossing, and it’s also a little like a Tamagotchi. You play as an omniscient overseer of a small island that’s populated with Miis, Nintendo’s delightfully lo-fi avatar characters, and you have to feed them and make them happy by fostering relationships and playing games. As you do that, the island will expand with more residents and more things to interact with, so that eventually you’ll have a Ferris wheel, a restaurant, and a TV news station.
What makes the sequel interesting is that it really opens up what you’re able to do. The creation tools in particular are much more robust. There are lots of options for designing Miis such that, even though I am decidedly not artistically inclined, I was able to make very recognizable cartoon characters without too much effort. Notably, unlike its predecessor, Living the Dream has options for things like same-sex relationships and nonbinary characters, making it much more inclusive and open. The island itself similarly has a lot of customization options, though these slowly unlock over time.
The real meat of the experience is setting up situations and watching how things unfold. You can make characters become friends or romantic partners by literally picking them up and putting them next to each other. The game will even frequently ask you for topics that they might want to talk about, Mad Libs style. It’s an acquired taste, but for the right kind of person it can also be hilarious.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Living the Dream is that, at least as far as I can tell, there are no restrictions for what you can name characters or what you can make them say. To really test this, I let my 13-year-old kid run wild, tasking her with creating the most messed-up island her teenage brain could think of. Now my Switch is home to the cast of The Owl House, who love to chat to each other about Hitler, summoning Satan, and human trafficking. Nothing that she threw at the game was off-limits. (Also, I’m a little worried about her.)
That’s all very surprising for a Nintendo game, particularly given the company’s squeaky-clean image and family-friendly fare. And it’s almost certainly the reason why Nintendo has made it so that you can’t share screenshots and videos using the Switch’s built-in sharing features. Without getting into specifics, Nintendo wrote on a support page that the Living the Dream’s freedom can “sometimes lead to humorous, surprising, or unpredictable moments during gameplay,” but also said that “we recognize that out-of-context scenes may be misunderstood or may not reflect the spirit in which the game is intended to be enjoyed.”
Given the problems Nintendo has run into with online sharing in the past, it’s an understandable position to take. It’s also not impossible to share things; you can get around the limitation with a capture card or by simply taking photos of the Switch’s screen. Players already started doing that when Living the Dream’s demo came out.
Since much of the fun of Tomodachi Life is pushing the game to its limits to see what you can make your little Miis do, maybe Nintendo understood that there probably wasn’t any kind of filter it could put in the game that inventive players wouldn’t be able to bypass. Perhaps a full-scale sharing ban was the only option. But that decision also runs counter to the spirit of Living the Dream. Whenever I land on a really good joke, I immediately take a screenshot because I want to show it to people. My kid and I have been comparing stupid images all week trying to one-up each other.
Nintendo’s restrictions aren’t going to stop the really dedicated players. TikTok will almost certainly be flooded with even more phone camera videos of cute little Miis talking about sex and violence. Because those kinds of players are exactly who this game is for.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream launches on the Nintendo Switch on April 16th.
