I don’t know anything about cars.
Now that we have established that cars seriously undermine our privacy (look at the flurry of posts in this community in the last few hours), what can we do about it?
From a networking POV, if you remove the ability to connect to the Internet, it doesn’t matter what the car is recording as long as you can ensure there is no physical tampering. Depending on who you are, this is a good idea, and doable for the most part (very few people have the technical knowledge to pull out the right chip from a car).
So, how do we achieve this? I implore the community to invite mechanical/car engineers who can help us on this matter, and to form methods to prevent vehicles from accessing the Internet without express consent from the user.
Thanks!

Can you make me a microwave that doesnt’t beep?
They do exist. Mine has a mute button. The keypad is awful though. I don’t remember the brand and not at home, but can look it up later
Bruh. Hold down the setup button. No more single tone screams of your meal is ready.
If that doesn’t work, there should be instructions for your brand online.
Or just open the side panel and pull the lead off the speaker. Hopefully they didn’t do something dumb like wire the speaker in series with the main power supply so to the computer so the whole thing doesn’t work if the speaker is disconnected or dies.
