Nissan Leaf had unacceptable telemetry

My 2015 Leaf asks me every month on the car screen whether I want to opt in or out. I believe the old-timers on mynissanleaf.com, who say that when you tell it to opt out, it does. Sure, it would be better if it only asked once.

I also removed the SIM card.

They are solar powered, so if the panel were significantly damaged, the camera would be unable to recharge and would go offline. Might take a few days perhaps.

What the list tells me is that if you do that, they might just kill it in year six anyways.

block USB data in the locked state

So “charging-only when locked” is safe then, right?

Not exactly how that works.

Got any pointers to references we can read up to learn more?

Or perhaps it presumes a shortage of domestic workers that are both qualified and also fit into the pay scales that US employers wish to pay. That intersection may be harder for employers to find.

Haha🙂 *fowl

Analog an illusion? Yes.

Tactile effectiveness an illusion? No.

Yes, there can be challenges about where to put the batteries, and some vehicles are certainly easier than others. But that hasn’t stopped a LOT of people from doing it anyways.

30 seconds of internet searching will show plenty of retrofits. One guy retrofitted a 1980s Delorean with a Chevy Bolt electric powertrain, and now it accelerates twice as fast as it ever did with gasoline.

My 2015 Nissan Leaf asks every few weeks if I want to allow the telematics to phone home. When you say no, it obeys. (I also removed the SIM card anyways.)

Sure, English is terrible. Don’t forget dollar, pillar, cougar, burglar, doctor, actor, or aviator. Yet, oddly enough, somehow most people deal with them, and life goes on.

Go read about The Great Vowel Shift; it’s pretty informative.

I’d have to say pre-Nixon

That’s harsh. I think there is a meaningful distinction between lying and being ignorant or misinformed.

when later devs have more work with forking it than with independent releases.

If that were true, then how do Brave and Librewolf even exist? Clearly it was less work to strip the garbage than to start from scratch.

I went to expireddomains.net and searched for ones ending in “__mail.net”. Found a good, short domain that was once a regional ISP and email provider 15-20 years ago. (I still get spam for some of their old subscribers.).

I do not use subdomains for this one. Generally, I combine a simple name with a number for the mailbox name. Like “johnathan2715@zzzmail.net” if I think it needs to look like a real name, or some other word like “giraffe1238” or something like that.

It’s working great.

Why would there be any cases where Dior needs a customer’s passport/government ID number/Social Security Number?

Outlook does not work with Thunderbird or any other app besides the official Outlook one, which doesn’t exist for Linux. Even if it did I wouldn’t want to install it. So I am forced to use web mail.

That is not generally true across the board, but it may be true for your university because they have disallowed it.

Outlook, or rather Exchange Server and Office 365, does work with standard email clients like Thunderbird via the IMAP protocol, but it can be disallowed by the admins.

Nextcloud contacts gives you CardDav, so it works with Android, iOS, and any number of Linux/Windows/Mac clients. Thunderbird certainly, and many other desktop mail clients. (Don’t know about a Linux or Windows app limited to just contact management over CardDav, but it’s probably out there.)

This book is amazing. Every other resource I find refers back to Michael Bazzell as the expert.
