What’s bloatware

preinstalled apps that no one wants

Cars now have a non insignificant software component

like the fucking NFL app

Including preinstalled apps yeah

All the excess crap software that companies install on phones/computers

Oh. Why is that a problem for cars?

performance degradation also unauth backdoor access

if apps aren't updated properly

I shouldn't have to worry about software security on my car, and I don't need it

Oh. Ok

I'm not really aware of car bloatware, unless companies just shovel crap into Android Auto

"oh no! You SSL cert has expired on your car!"

But at this point it's like wanting a new phone with battery access *and* expandable memory

beemann u should, u certainly looked rough picking up cigarettes this morning

They do it because boomers are lazy with technology

They want everything preloaded and done

Right, and I want none of that shit

LAMF

Which will restrict the models I can buy, and I don't think any of those are electric tbh

eh tbh its not like u can protect ur data anymore

its already all out there

Do you lock your door?

sometimes

i live in a good area tho

isn't that a Canadian cliche to not lock doors?

Why? Someone could just break your window :^)

🤡 🌍

No, it was like some suburb in Ontario

Not the whole county

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

jokes on you! my windows are made out of transparent aluminum!

You secure your data for the same reason that you secure your physical goods - you decrease access to it

You can never eliminate access - this has never been an option

sure it is, live off grid

Even then

People break into airgapped systems

EMP over San Jose

done

it is kinda analogous to the example u used. a locked door will keep out the kids tryna steal small shit. but a career criminal will take it if he wants it from u

but the thing is the biggest cartel on the block is the federal government. which has extensive data on anyone regardless of what you do to try and protect it.
