Ah, yes, here come the “just use your old car because EVs are worse for the environment than the Exxon Valdez or something” posts

That is a myth thoroughly debunked by just a little bit of research and data collection into the making and driving of EVs, as that assumption ran off an old study that used guesstimated worst-case scenario numbers and don’t really reflect what the actual numbers are.

If you want to avoid being tracked, you will have to disconnect the data modem somehow - it is part of your radio antenna. If it gets no power, it gets no connection. Either disconnect from the telematics unit, or at the antenna. Also, you can disconnect your telematics unit itself - the “black box” that lives under the dash and records your driving. Some aftermarket makers have “dummy plug” connectors which will trick the car into thinking it is connected. These are often used with aftermarket head units.

Beware that some cars are tracked by your financial lender, and they don’t like it when this happens. Some other cars actually have to be cloud connected once in a while or they stop working - which is the worst thing modern cars can do.

If it means we get many GW of Solar added so be it… but I bet the oil guys will say “just add more gas turbines” and give them a rebate on the generators

AI datacenters are the scapegoat to a bigger problem

Somebody once told me…

even more nuts is that it will support pc games via FEX, an emulation layer that runs x86 windows games on ARM in Linux

Ah, yes, the Hussein curve, a well known phenomenon that showcases sudden increases at the end of the graph

You need a new modem that supports the higher upload speed protocol. And having a DOCSIS 3.1 isn’t enough… it has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 that supports the new protocols. I had to switch to a Hitron CODA because my Netgear CM1000 wasn’t enough anymore

It’s a decent sbc for low performance things. I’ve seen them used in just about every chinese android car head unit system.

disconnect telematics units and/or radio modems.

Mine’s 5th gen, so it’s bigger than the one he’s got.

Mine’s also stick. 5th gen (2017-2023) is the last gen with the manual. Other than the WRX and the BRZ, all the new ones are auto only.

Also, 155k, still on the OG 5 speed. Had to put new center diff (limited slip component was not limiting slip properly), but otherwise still good. Yes it has gearwhine, it’s had it for 100k miles now.

How fast do you want it, how hot do you want it, where do you want it

Subaru Wagons

Ironically, my 2018 Subaru is more mechanical than this. 2/3 dials are mechanical, cable-driven flaps / valve for heat and vent control. Only the fan is an electric dial.

If I went back to BASIC, I’d be using modern programming practices still - No Gotos, All Subs
