@movq Too many thingsËš running on AWS eh?
@movq Yeah, this is similar to my 2025 GWM Cannon Ute (_truck_) that we recently bought. It has this app called the "GWM App" that lets you view various health/stats of the vehicle, open/close the door, locks, control the A/C etc, all from your Mobile Phone. -- But... Guess what?! :D It has a goddamn fucking SIM card in the head unit (dash) somewhere that once you "consent" and agree it signs up to some god knows what local cellular service and all that wonderul functionality is controlled by, guess what... A fucking goddamn CLOUD service! da actual flying fuck is wrong with these people?! -- Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shitâ„¢ really is?
Obviously none of this requires an Internet connection, let alone a Network connection. All of it can be done over Bluetooth! Just like Carplay itself!
Like these Car Manufacturers, like GWM, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and whoever else does this stupid shitâ„¢ need to pull their heads out of their asse. :O
@movq Holy fuck! Whoever bought such a bed fully deserves this. There isn't the faintest trace of pity on my face.
@prologic I don't want to defend this, but at least over here a SIM card is necessary for the mandatory emercency call by law in case of a crash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall Of course, this enables all sorts of other shenanigans.
@movq Yeah, new cars are totally out of question. If I ever have to, only rather old ones are contemplable.
@movq Oh, we like to be paranoid. We've been right so many times. Unfortunately.
