lemmy.world> work in a software company from India
> bought an ev 2 wheeler
> the company provided statistics about the distance travelled, efficiency,
range, all in different driving modes
> felt happy to know all these
> company discontinued sending all the statistics, stopped web login by saying
all details would be available on the phone app
> 3 months got over, but no new features available on the phone app
> try to snoop what’s happening on their app
> found the api key and url from the app log.
> MF, they track 20+ parameters for each trip including the number of times the
horn is pressed > why the horn count? What are they going to get by tracking it?
🤔
