What’s so difficult about this vs. say your personal computer is that I am a lot more comfortable tinkering with privacy tools on my computer, in which the worst case scenario is sites won’t load/the tools are imperfect, than I am with my car, which would be an expensive bricking experience or potentially a lethal one.
The good news is that the cheapest, most environmentally friendly and most privacy respecting cars one can find are all the same category - used ones. You also have decent safety in a decade old car these days.
The bad news is of course that car manufacturers are countering this the only way they know how - by producing products that don’t last for shit. But at least if you buy an old one you can make a more informed decision, as other people have years of experience already.
yeah like I could put hondahack in my car’s head unit pretty easily but 1) I’m worried that it might change the tuning of my engine and 2) it would void any warranty I have on the car I have left - totally agreed with having the ability but not willing to take the risk
