Until someone blows a stop sign and turns it to scrap. You can only account for so much.

Most likely a cellular data service. That’s what GM uses for the OnStar stuff.

At least with OnStar you could unplug the antenna to neuter it (No idea if this still works with 2020+MY vehicles).

Hardbody Nissan. It’s kind of a homoerotic name but the 90’s were a different time.

Yeah, here you go. Nothing special, but unmolested ones are getting hard to find. I do hope more of the car community finds it’s way here.

I wish such a unicorn existed. So I just leave that thang at home when I’m doing hood rat stuff.

Cars are the new cell phones. Makes me glad I drive the equivalent of a Nokia 3210.

I use KDE Connect for a simple way to find where I’ve left my phone at home or work (it has some really handy other features too in an open source program). If you need to locate it anywhere, even if it’s in airplane mode, you’re probably going to have to sacrifice privacy for that.

I couldn’t find where to opt-out in that link, but this worked:

1. Open Settings.
2. Navigate to Security.
3. Select Find My Device.
4. Toggle Find My Device to Off.

It’s best for anonymity to not use one at all. Proton provides a recovery key to allow access to your account if you manage to lock yourself out. Keep that key somewhere safe/secure.

No company is going to legally go to bat for you for $10/mo. I love how Proton nonchalantly calls out the user’s dumb move in the article:

Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper OpSec, such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method. Note, Proton does not require adding a recovery address as this information can in theory be turned over under Swiss court order…

At least until the fracking crews come.
