  • Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

    Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.
















  • On your Lemmy account settings when logged into your home instance from the web, do you have “Show Read Posts” unchecked? That will insure any posts you’ve marked are read from any client won’t get sent to you again when you refresh your feed later. This is a double edge sword as it can make finding read posts harder when uncheck. Some clients may do some filtering on the client side, but also enabling this server side make hiding read posts a lot more consistent between browser and other clients from the same account.
