Okay there's a ton of spyware in the car, but - just . . don't . . . connect it. Or whatever.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

And you think ICE cars don't have spyware these days?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

I dunno, ICE cars weren't on my list to start with. I assume.

I suspect you know this, and your post is sarcastic. But just in case:

Most cars have their own embedded SIMs nowadays. They're already connected. You can't disconnect them.

No, I haven't bought a new car in many many years.

That's absolutely unacceptable. I would have the dashboard pulled out in minutes. Wherever the modem is, it wouldn't be there for long.

Hahahah, fuse go brrrr.

Jokes aside, they probably shut off the car if it can't phone home within a certain time period.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That's equivalent to buying a subscription to a car. I would never buy that car. That's koo koo bananapants unsane.

Of course, I don't have a facepals account either so - what do i know.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Yeah. I have a car that has telemetry. Sucks for privacy, but if I was going to commit a crime, I would just ******************************************************************************, use the system to obfuscate the data.
