So you use cash to get a burner phone for any online purchases or sites which need them?
Why would I need a phone for that? I just told you I use a virtual CC.
You only carry the burner when entering large corporate store chains which are fingerprinting the devices inside?
I use GrapheneOS, which has mitigations for that sort of tracking. But Meta isn't tracking me at the grocery store, regardless.
You magically know every single big techs obfuscated domains for tracking cookies and block them the moment they are registered?
I don't allow access to any cookies. As I already said, I use an ad-blocker, of course, that tracks, updates, and blocks thousands of tracking domains.
I think you are extremely naive about how easy it is to tie this information together by a databroker
I think you know absolutely nothing about me, what I know, and what my data protection practices are.
Sure meta may be blocked direct access on your network but they are buying that information from another data broker and tieing directly to you based on the contact information thats been gleemed from others who shared contact information with a meta product.
I don't think you understand. Even if someone sends Meta my phone number, they cannot associate my phone number to any other online activity because that would ALSO require my phone number, which they do not have, because I do not give it to them. Also gleaned* and tying*.
Yes, zero connectivity, relatively affordable, highly customizeable, and repair-friendly (for now). The only connectivity is through the phone app. Only downside is you have to buy a stupid truck. They could have made it a lot cheaper as a coupe.
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.
They weren't false allegations, he openly admitted to, and was convicted of, lying about being a drug user on a form 4473 when purchasing a firearm, and for $1.4M in tax fraud.
Would you like to recommend another brand that has zero data connection and also isn't invested with Bezos?
