luna, friend of eggbugy’all ever buy a pre-owned game cartridge or mp3 player or something and the previous owner’s data is still on it, and for a brief moment you feel a sense of connection with that stranger through their lingering data, and a twinge of sadness at the idea of deleting it to use the device for yourself?
Mrs Beanbag@luna every time we get a rental car and it's got everybody else's satnav history and phone pairings in it
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@mrsbeanbag @luna I clear them every time. madness that the companies don't do it.

My pervious car went through two dealerships, one leasing company and one import/export agent, and traveled from Germany to Charkiw before the new owner realized that I forgot to log it out from the connected app.

Juli Jane@gsuberland @mrsbeanbag @luna Probably too much hassle. There should be special rental car editions of cars where they can just connect some device or something which resets everything.
@julijane @mrsbeanbag @luna if they can do a whole valet job and safety check between each customer using the vehicle I'm sure they can manage three or four menu buttons to factory reset the head unit. it's mostly just cos nobody tells them to.
