Competition is when Monopoly

My name comes from an ethnic background but I dont look ethnic so I always get weird Looks at doctors offices because of it. I think its pretty funny but I guess some people dont find it as funny to be "profiled" so to speak. It really depends on the culture you grew up in and how high tolerance actually was for that sort of thing in your life, at least thats my two cents. I dont mind it but others might.

So... Theyre doing what the CalyxOS contacts app has been doing for years? lol

there goes the entirety of people who are too poor to afford iphones choices...

(I know there are other options, but genuinely, when I'm out and about I hear that Motorola jingle more than the iPhone's notification or Samsung's spaceline)

I know your comment is probably /s but even the expensive $1k+ TVs have "smart" features and ads now.

Wow this is amazing! Thanks for sharing

I genuinely, seriously doubt it. I imagine its to keep MAGAts happy while completely fucking them over socio-economically.

Its more reply 1 not telling you how to provide the information. If it wasn't provided theres a good chance you dont know how to, and them being condescending about it doesnt help

but 30"+ monitors are extremely expensive :(

As far as I am aware, most of them aren't directly transmitting data back to the manufacturer, but the data is stored on the car so if you ever have it worked on the dealership can just pull that shit without consent. I could be wrong though, maybe there are cars now that are doing that. I do know that a a lot of cars are taking the iPhone route of having "encrypted" parts, where if one is missing or replaced, the car just won't work.

I see, that makes sense. I feel like I should have been able to figure that out but my puzzle solving skills aren't the best lol

I believe it is making light of the fact that this is the direction we are heading in as a society. See the recent ford patent that listens to you while you are driving to serve ads over your stereo, the $800 child's toy that will now be nothing but e-waste, BMW having you "subscribe" to your heated seats, or a more relavent to this conic example, the thousands if not millions of new "smart" devices that now require an app to perform functions that older technology could perform without needing a smartphone.
