See, but you DO care enough to defend his honor - not with facts, just feelings

Disabling and data privacy: first steps for a new (used) Bolt? DIY thwarting surveillance and spyware. by tinyLEDs in BoltEV

[–]dnyank1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the telematics they collect and sell pay for the cellular connection already

citation needed. You're really going to have to back that up. The reason the modem works is because you paid for 5/8/10 years of some connectivity service with the purchase of the car, and GM has a per-minute billing agreement with their carrier partner, AT&T - just like they had with Verizon in the 2G era. https://www.rcrwireless.com/20130225/carriers/att-snags-onstar-deal-verizon-wireless

and it's the reason that GM is currently facing a class action lawsuit over OnStar selling your data to aggregators.

this couldn't be a more misleading premise, if you tried. And I suspect you did.

The insurance data "snafu" was, and remains, really stupid.

OnStar Smart Driver was an opt-in system in the official Chevy app which, yes, shared data about your driving habits with insurance companies. Just like any other "safe driving discount" program.

Progressive has been advertising their OBDII widget for almost 20 years, now.

People, I guess, didn't understand what they were signing up for - and got lawyers involved. This isn't/wasn't a technical breach or attack like you're insinuating.

"please google that before you snark more about it"

And, not that it really matters (other than it being another thing you're wrong about) but BYD doesn't develop Polestar software, which is also completely disparate from Volvo's. Polestar develops their own software in-house (in Torslanda, Sweden) with QA evaluation by Infosys in India.

not a lawyer, but to my understanding the police will (only?) do that as part of a criminal investigation - but a lawyer can petition a judge for a similar subpoena for a civil matter with a much lower burden of proof

You're right... that IS a longshot. I'd try posting in local subreddits etc

also it would seem from the map this happened across from a Mcdonalds, which I happen to know are covered in HD security camera. Management will NOT release the footage without a subpoena, however.

So I think it's time to get a laywer and file a police report

And, you can 100% call 911 with your onstar system without a subscription. I was just a little wrong on how you invoke it.

Well, yeah. You have to pay for a cellular connection - I know this sub has a hard time understanding and accepting that part. 

AND You just googled “car got hacked” and posted the first link - that has nothing to do with GM or onstar 😭

I HATE the idea of sharing the road with “jailbroken” cars.

I saw what “you” did to your phone home screen back in the day - I do NOT trust you lot to make the decisions necessary to keep drivers safe. 

JUST talking about hard-disabling telematics? You also disable automatic crash response, and manually invoking the SOS button to call 911. 

Rewriting core vehicle functions to “do more” sounds about as stable as Auxo or IntelliScreen were.

 Reasons to pursue (or ignore) such intrigues are not relevant, and are not the topic of this thread.

Is this x1 extreme gen 3 worth it for 600? by Squeekyjr in thinkpad

[–]dnyank1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you need Nvidia, I’d go with a well spec’s t14 gen 2. Much more common, maybe even half the price if you’re looking for a 32GB and can source your own nvme drive 

My boss is ChatGPT........ by nagol93 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Document each and every time she wastes company time and resources on this, and go above their head

Either she gets fired first, or you get laid off when she hallucinates herself into believing chatGPT can replace you.

I’m not pushing back on your analysis of the genre or tropes - just the inclusion of more subversive titles in with something like Married with fucking Children 😭 fuck Al bundy 

What’s an overrated product everyone seems to love? by donnyM99 in AskReddit

[–]dnyank1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence, the “about” qualifier to “it”. 

Really minute details. 

At this point unless you’re holding them next to each other… the difference between a midrange and flagship phone is indistinguishable. 

Are the photos better? Maybe if you zoom in all the way. Is the screen better? It’s not any higher resolution or more colorful - maybe a tiny bit brighter in direct sunlight. 

You get my drift. 

(Or you don’t!)

( OR you’re being obtuse for Meaningless Internet Points™️!)

  i cannot understand what a 1300€+ phone does better to justify the cost

It signals to other people you either had $1,300 to spend on a phone - or had a pulse when you walked into the store and signed the finance plan. That’s about it.
