Depends entirely on your car make and model. On many models you can disconnect or remove the fuse for the telematics control unit (TCU) and it's as simple as that. However you won't receive any OTA updates that will likely solve problems. And if you reconnect to get them, there's no guarantee your car doesn't suddenly dump all your personal data obtained in the meantime onto company servers. Further I find it more and more likely that OEMs either already have or will add a ToS that requires you to keep all this stuff connected, and they'll argue that the data collection is part of the sale.
Slate seems to be the only brand currently that intends to deliver vehicles with zero connectivity required.
~93 miles. I would argue probably too much. Most people are traveling <30 miles/day in US. Probably a whole lot less in JP. That's why most PHEVs are 30-40 mi.
E: I speak in statistical facts and everyone tells me I'm wrong bc their anecdotes 🤷
Govts don't just not make legislation because they don't know how to enforce it. They make the law, and they figure out the enforcement later. VPS providers will comply because they don't give a single shit about your privacy and aren't going to take the risk.
Jesus fuck, I'm so tired of this "everyone who disagrees with me or I don't understand is 'trolling'" nonsense. I can't even be bothered to discuss anything further. Goodbye.
I don't understand. The proposed legislation would force ID verification for Mullvad users. You're still a Mullvad user, regardless of whether you connect through your VPS.
I've always wondered why we aren't buying/hacking info about politicians that support anti-privacy legislation from these databrokers and leaking it to the public. If I had the knowledge that's what I'd be doing. I can't think of anything that would be more effective.
You really think Proton is going to run their business illegally and just cross their fingers and hope no one finds out?
