I see. I've always thought the data collection is through those smart dashboards. So, thank you for the info. Also, isn't 3g dead by now? Can those modems be ripped off the car, BTW?

How can a dashboard that has absolutely nothing "smart" about it collect my data? It's only a radio that has Bluetooth, how's that going to collect data and send it to the manufacturer?
You can still find cars dumber than shit now. Just go for the "lower trim" models. Those are normally cheaper and have simple dashboards, nothing internet connected, because ya know "they have less features". As if that were a bad thing. Lol
You said "every car", so I'll assume you do mean every car, which is very much untrue. My 2016 Hyundai Tucson is a very much dumb car. It has a radio, CD player and Bluetooth. And that's what I want essentially. I don't want anything to do with those that are connected to the internet and get OTA updates. I'll never buy those for as long as I can find the other ones. Cars like mine do exit and will continue existing, as a "low trim" model, which is ~~why~~ what I always get anyway.
If I buy an EV, it won't be a smartphone on wheels. There is no way I'm giving these fuckers my driving data.
How do you enable swiping in this keyboard. I can't, for the life of me, find it in the settings.
Yeah well that sucks. Monochrome icons are ugly. Might as well use gnome then. I'm just hoping that we will still have the option to change back to the colored ones.
I get it, but the books were so good that the movies made me mad. Especially, the count of Monte cristo. That really got on my nerves. They actually modified the story to tell different events. :/
Man, this is such a silly and unfortunate exploit. Damn! I hope it gets patched quick.
So many people recommended the Talisman and The Stand. I'll check them out.
I didn't know about this keyboard actually. Just installed it and it's great. Only issue with it that it only supports English. I guess I'll use it for English only. Thank you so much.
EDIT: never mind. It does support other languages. All set now.
This is fucking insane. I'm literally considering not buying a car after this one I have until something is done about this data collection bullshit. I work from home and I only drive my car to the gym and take the kids out somewhere when my wife is at work. I can do all that with a fucking scooter no problem. Also, I read Mozilla's article, all of it, and there is some hope. If you don't use the car app and don't use the connected service (I do neither of those), then the data collection is limited. Another option is to look for dumb cars. I know they exit, some people mentioned them to me somewhere here on Lemmy and even gave me links. It's been a long time since then.
