¿Por que no los dos?

Absolutely. It’ll be part of a future “Google play services” update.

Cars have had a multitude of controllers (which means software) for over 30 years now. It’s the cellular connection you don’t want or need.

The only way I would ever have a connected car is if the software was under my control and could be self-hosted. Nothing crazy, just stuff like weather, traffic, and maybe remote diagnostics. But that’s just my nerdy side coming out.

Both of my cars are fairly modern (2008, 2015), but neither have any sort of connection to the outside world, and despite both having touchscreen interfaces, all critical functions are button-operated.

Unless you had a fancy discman with anti-skip. Reminds me of driving my dad’s 1963 VW Beetle in high school before we restored it.

Also… Good old days? I did that with my minivan barely three years ago with an Alpine ILX-407… But that one doesn’t have a CD player because I don’t use CDs anymore. I haven’t used CDs in a car since high school, now that I think about it… I just kept my iPod connected to that car, hidden from view.

We have a 2015 Toyota Highlander with automatic climate controls. Except when it’s 72° outside and 110° inside the car when I get in, I don’t want it lazily whispering 72° air at me (which it does sometimes), I want it to blow ice-fucking-cold air for several minutes so I don’t sweat my balls off waiting for the interior temp to come down. Having physical controls is quite nice for that. I can set it back to 72 or 69^nice or whatever after the fact.

Both of my cars have automatic headlights, so 95% of the time we don’t really touch those controls. Every once in a while I’ll turn them on during a storm, when the light level isn’t quite low enough to trigger the headlights.

I have 5 kids. I’m almost certain my photo library of 15 years has a few completely innocent pictures where a naked infant/toddler might be present. I do not have the time to search 10,000+ pics for material that could be taken completely out of context and reported to authorities without my knowledge. Plus, I have quite a few “intimate” photos of my wife in there as well.

I refuse to consent to a corporation searching through my device on the basis of “well just in case”, as the ramifications of false positives can absolutely destroy someone’s life. The unfortunate truth is that “for your security” is a farce, and people who are actually stupid enough to intentionally create that kind of material are gonna find ways to do it regardless of what the law says.

Scanning everyone’s devices is a gross overreach and, given the way I’ve seen Google and other large corporations handle reports of actually-offensive material (i.e. they do fuck-all), I have serious doubts over the effectiveness of this program.

Thanks. Uninstalled and reported. Hopefully they’ll get the hint. I love my Android, but this is pushing me towards Graphene/Calyx.

What sent me over the edge was his blatant posting “need a trump win” right before the election, and the succeeding post after the election. Like, I get you’re trying to run a business, but being so shortsighted that you’re depending on a literal felon to be in office for your business decisions to flesh out is so narrow-minded and selfish that I don’t even know where to start.

I already knew in the back of my mind what direction he leaned, but he was so good at keeping politics out of his shit… That just ruined it for me entirely. I unsubscribed and blocked his channels.

Not everyone knows that though.

In Chinese, “X” makes a “sh” sound.

Take from that what you will.
