Who says the google pixel is good for privacy? Google?

zigbee and/or zwave with a self hosted router like HA is the way. It even works if your internet is out snd nobody can just shut down the servers if they dont feel like paying for them anymore

Im curious as to what this actually is. I mean its not like the car has an actual sex log. Could it be as simple as the GPS location history? like where you navigated to previously?

I wear sunglasses to drive all the time. If I look down at the touchscreen to use the nav it beeps at me and tells me to keep my eyes on the road. It will even detect if you have a phone in your hand. Where do you see that it doesn’t monitor in any useful way? Would you prefer that people not be reminded of distracted driving?

Sorry I don’t see any indication that this was from the interior camera, only the exterior cameras recording public spaces (dashcam)

I had no idea that tesla employees had seen interior camera shots. Do you have an article?

Teslas have a WiFi and cellular modem. You can’t tell what exactly its sending or receiving because encryption, but uploading video to Tesla’s servers means a much larger data set than just telemetry. It is very easy to see if something like that is coming across.

Im really curious as to how a nissan gathers details about sexual activity. I mean teslas have interior cameras that use image recognition to confirm that your eyes are on the road for safety, The data verifiably never leaves the car and is never saved but “Collecting data on facial expressions” seems like kind of a weird and dishonest spin on that.

“Volkswagen’s cars reportedly know if you’re fastening your seatbelt” Is that just the occupancy sensor and seat belt sensor letting you know you forgot to fasten your seatbelt? or that one of your passengers is unbuckled? I wouldn’t consider that an invasion of privacy.

Collecting the data is not whats important when theres safety implications. Its what’s done with the data thats important and potentially privacy invading. Nissan does have the term about selling your data in writing, thats probably more of a legal blanket statement to cover them in the future for some super weird edge case.

Generally speaking privacy invasions are more aligned with free services

im not sure about all TVs but my sony TV has a laptop style wifi chip that you can just unplug

They do? Do you have any examples of this? This is an enormous security fumble if any wi-fi device does something like this.

Worst case you can also just open up the TV and disconnect the wifi module.

A lot of people will attribute this to the steam deck, but IIRC these stats are from major website user agent visits, not many people use their steam decks to browse the web daily.

+1 for nextcloud but it does kind of point you down the whole self-hosted rabbithole, which is out of scope for most people who just want privacy

Usually your OS will just send dns requests to both servers at once and just accept whichever responds first. UDP isnt very smart.
