    @decryption@aus.social Might be an idea to consider what telemetry is sent back to the manufacturer or others. And any other user-hostile data collection or transmission.

    I remember back at uni I had a friend who went through nine PowerBooks at the on-campus Apple Store, because each one had some sort of issue that pissed him off (dead pixels, screen discolouration, keyboard feel was off, trackpad didn't click right etc) - at the time I was thought he was just being annoying and a crank. 20 years later and I totally understand where he is coming from now. I spend too much time in my car and I'm tired of putting up with the little daily annoyances that really shouldn't be there just because someone at Volvo couldn't give a shit or cut a corner to save money.

    @decryption@aus.social wait, many EVs don’t even have key fobs? what do they have? 🤔 pls tell me it’s not some shitty “use an app to unlock your car” or “when your phone or watch comes close it auto-unlocks”… 🥺
