Your car may be logging how you drive and selling it to insurers, sometimes for pennies. What it costs you, how to opt out, and what Oregon just changed.

My 2008 Subaru is a saint and has done no such thing.

Bro my car doesn't even have cruise control or electric windows or electric locks or a automatic transmission. It has AC though. I'm going to drive this thing until they make it illegal because its not smart enough.

My 2013 Maxima does not have GPS or even a touchscreen.

Does it have satellite radio? If so it's still being tracked

[-] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just the presence of satellite radio doesn't mean you are being tracked, much like GPS, satellite radio is one way communication and your receiver is just that, a receiver (as oppose to a transmitter).

Touche! I totally forgot they started adding cellular modems to some of the radios, it helps them disable non-paying radios but does give them a back channel to siphon off data. The bigger threat is OnStar equipped vehicles, they've started jamming that on every used car.

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
