There are lots of reasons to want to shut off your car’s data collection. The Mozilla Foundation has called modern cars “surveillance machines on wheels” and ranked them worse than any other product category last year, with all 25 car brands they reviewed failing to offer adequate privacy protections....
I’m in need of a new (to me) car soon and this is stopping me from even starting the shopping process. Now I know I can cross new Hondas off my list of consideration (I can’t stand to have notifications I can’t turn off). But that still leaves a lot research into information the car companies don’t want me to have and which I don’t want to have to do.
Maybe I’ll buy an old Crown Vic. They drive forever and don’t look like any of the cars that local police currently use.
Wow, this is a blast from my past. I grew up in Portland’s broadcast range in the late 80s, so I watched Bob all the time. I specifically remember this outfit. I’m pretty sure it got some reuse.
Let’s start with a smartphone. A user creates an account with a passkey for a service, that passkey gets stored on their smartphone, and they can use biometrics to sign in from then on. The private key is stored on the smartphone. Great....
We’re in the process of adopting BitWarden at my job. I’m liking it so far. Not enough to convince my family to switch (yet), but enough that I wouldn’t hesitate to jump over there if I needed to.
I know this isn’t the comparison being made, but I love the idea of jumping straight from swords to nukes. Writing prompt: a 16th century blacksmith suddenly realizes, “If I surround an unstable rock with a neutron reflecting earth metal, I can trigger a runaway chain reaction that’ll get that stump outta me yard.”
Integrations (or the lack there of) have me day dreaming about returning to Spotify once in a while. I moved to Tidal and while the catalog is great (except for a weird dearth in Jonathan Coulton songs), I gradually discovered some things I miss. Tidals Alexa app, for example, still can’t play playlists, the Roku app buggy, there’s no desktop app for Linux, swapping music playing from one device to another is not inbult, and things like that.
Also because there are fewer of us Tidal users, FOSS integrations are lacking. The options open to me in home assistant for building things on top of spotify are are vastly greater than anything I can do with Tidal.
We got a new cat over the weekend and decided that he needs to be sequestered in my home office before we introduce him to our elderly lady cat. I did not put up a fight.
Different companies have different plans. Arizona has had auto-driving trucks on freeways off and on for a couple years now as part of test programs. Always with a driver in the cab though.
A few years ago I would have though robo-convoys would be where things landed because three or four companies where working toward that. That’s where the front truck has an operator and all the other trucks follow that leader driverlessly.
Now I feel like I have no idea where any of it is going. Step 1 in driverless should have always been to adopt an industry-wide mesh-network for all vehicles with level 3 (or higher) autonomy. If I’m on the road with (or inside of) an autonomous vehicle, I want it to be able get help from every other nearby car if its sensors suddenly die or start feeding it bad data. Especially after they’ve been on the road, poorly maintained by their owners, for a decade or more. If there are autonomous cars where will eventually be autonomous jalopies that drive like a drunk toddler because they sees lidar echos.
In your google account settings there should be a page called “Data And Privacy” that has loads of things to turn off or at least limit the amount of time before they say they delete it.
They keep changing where it is and how the pages are laid out in order to keep us on our toes. I think there may be a privacy center somewhere too. There used to be.
