Hoping for "no IoT" in addition before I have to get a new car.

@bjb @lauren I saw a story the other day about people paying a mechanic to disable the GPS and cellular modems in their car. I guess that's what it's come to. I bought a car a year ago and the dealer put a GPS tracker in it. They didn't ask if they could or tell me about it. I figured it out later. Turns out that's common practice.

@jmorris @lauren

Why did the dealer do that?

Show threadJohn Morris21h ago
@bjb @lauren I think they do it for asset tracking. But it was a cash sale so they had no legitimate reason to do it. I suspect they installed it when they were "detailing" the car right before they handed it over.

@jmorris @bjb Did you disable it?
Show threadJohn Morris20h ago
@lauren @bjb Yes. I had to crawl around under the dashboard for an hour but I got it. Its ODB-II port replaces the existing one and then the original ODB-II port plugs into it. Clever in an evil sort of way. This thread has some pictures: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/apex-gps-tracking-on-new-gladiator.76603/

@lauren @elfin No surprise there. It’s like something tagged as “handmade”.

It’ll become synonymous with higher quality and originality.

We need to start tagging everything like this so people can filter out the slop.

@lauren No AI was used to invent this post. It is all non-AI done. The letters were strung together not using AI. At all.

Smart companies can make this a marketing point.

Compare to grredy companies that annouce layoffs and hype their embrace of AI.

Tells you which companies to not do business with.
