   Hey this sounds bad:

   “The fact that the CEO of a car company or someone working on his behalf can—and did—remotely unlock a specific vehicle… is a stark reminder that while you may be able to drive your car, you increasingly do not own it, that the company that manufactured it can inject themselves into the experience whenever it wants, and that information from your private vehicle can be provided to law enforcement.”

     @evoterra as someone who has worked in automotive for going on 20 years, I can't agree more. There's a reason why more and more of our work parking lot is full of cars over a decade old.

     it won't be long before trustworthy cars get as valuable and as hard to find as GNUbootable Thinkpads
     
     sucks that we haven't managed to transition cars from fuels to electric before they were turned into smartIoT devices. that will give reason for them to be forcefully phased out.

     @lxo @fu Aside that you also need people who are competent in car maintenance, but I'll add that it's also hard to have such people when it's impossible to diagnose&repair due to DRM.

     They gave you a discount, so you've been paid. 😏

     I didn't realize cars that are a little bit newer than mine already had the always on cellular modem. Maybe the car company should be paying us a monthly fee for making use of our property...

     @sj_zero @Humpleupagus @evoterra oh its not just that, they "give it to you for free" for a peirod of months, and then certain features on your car stop working unless you pay them a monthly fee (but they still keep gathering your data).
