  Over time, calling the customer service line back
  over and over, she would piece together information.
  The name on the account that shipped the product was
  different from the one used on the credit card, she
  discovered, all of which were different from her name
  and address.
How do you think they got your information?

Even HTML5 web capturing works in a similar way. Once you give an site like Discord access to your microphone or screen it can pretty much access it whenever the page is open - granted it will show a little badge on screen by default.

A lot of users got tired of the on-screen badge being on all the time and probably set it to hidden (very easy to do) so not everyone is actually aware of when an HTML5 application is accessing a microphone/camera/screen.

I know nothing of this field, is there any idea of how long "information" stays in the brain or any metric like that once blood/oxygen flow to the brain has been inhibited?

They mention they don't preserve "heads" in specific but rather brains, and go into detail about how they can't separate a brain from a skull so they preserve the entire head. Wouldn't separating the head from the body cause similar problems of destroying information in the brain? Do they keep the entire body?

I thought this was going to be something interesting like them encoding your private data into the dictionary set to obfuscate the communication. Apparently it's nothing at all.

Also worth noting iPhone sends a lot of information in the HTTP headers about your phone - like model number. Android does the same thing. Also simply plugging your phone in to USB (not accepting any on-screen dialogs) will save the IEMI and other device IDs into your system log. If you ever have a device stolen I suggest you run $(zgrep -i iphone /var/log/*.gz)
