In a document detailing several mobile device best practices, the NSA recommends users turn their devices off and then back on once every week to protect against zero-click exploits, which attackers often use to eavesdrop on and collect data from phones.

Does this advice hold true for PC's also?

A cellphone is nothing else than a desktop machine or laptop: A
computer. If it is correct which I doubt the answer is yes.
The link does not load on my Mac/Firefox. Is this a trustworthy site?
Even if I allow Java-script.

I was going to point out that Android has many and major differences
from Windows, but that would just lead to a fight, so I won't say
anything.

The only *relevant* difference is that Android runs apps in sandboxes
that require elevated rights. And who cares about Windows?
BTW: You are not knowing much about the devices you use and now you want
to brag? Hint: You cannot solve your social issues with a cellphone.

Both Google's and Apple's latest phones don't allow you to turn them off
for real. The iPhones and the latest Pixels are still running Google's and Apple's tracking activities even when you think you've turned them off.

Not true on ios. You can turn it off permanently.

My point only is that this doesn't portend an ability to turn off bluetoothBut do they really make money from knowing where I am?

I appreciate that you're asking good questions, where I think in this very >> thread we saw an article that Mayayana cited that says yes.
Apple & Google make money off of keeping track of our location.
Is this another of your unsubstantiated claims?
Interesting link.

Just to make you aware, that every(?) time you reply to this group,
you're also cc:ing individuals by email, it doesn't bother me, I wasn't
sure if you're aware you're doing it?
If you use the reply button in TB's main toolbar it won't happen, I
think it's the follow-up button in the message header toolbar that does
do it ... Or maybe TB78 behaves differently?

So, before slinging insults at people have a look in the mirror first.
