Results for my 1971 Ford sedan point toward a lot of privacy protection.
With all due respect you donât know how many times youâve been hacked or what information about you is being used and by whom. Thatâs sort of the point of all this. Maybe nothing has happened to you and never will but a glance of the news will show a data leak of private and secured information almost weekly from various companies.Hard pass. Just think of all the camping trips and fun adventures you could have gone on during the time spent worrying about privacy and setting up your VPNs. At the end of the day, you and I have been hacked the same number of times...zero! *Please don't interpret this as an invitation to hack me! I am very boring and have nothing of value to my name beyond my truck
Yet extremist, tinfoil, nutbag, etc. you had no problem with. Speaks volumes.
Nice, failed attempt to redirect with a straw man move. You called out a GROUP of people here as sheeple with your assumptive blanket statement. Those other terms were responses to you by others, not me, yet you again assume I don't have a problem with what they said. You really are assuming a lot about people you don't know at all. THAT's what speaks volumes - your apparently endless assumptions about everyone.
No assumptions. My comment was the result of apathetic comments made by several specific individuals here where as yours was based upon only my specific usage of sheeple while ignoring the other *worn out, passive aggressive insults* that prompted my response.
No and we most likely will never know. Thing is we sort of need to send lots of data to Rivian about where we go and how we drive so they can fix and improve their own systems. Hopefully they do right by all of us and disassociate private information with personal identifiers in their system. There is a way for them to collect any information they'd like and still keep you safe and there is the other way where they can monetize that information.
Note that you don't see Rivian in the list. Rivian uses AWS (Amazon Web Services) for their cloud computing platform - that traffic is Rivian data. Spotify is an app integrate by Rivian, not so surprising that it is generating traffic even if not in use. Facebook and Google are probably some secondary/background calls made by other apps or the core OS. Like Google, I seem to recall reading that Facebook provides some "non-Facebook" web services but I don't recall the details. That traffic would require deeper inspection with something like Wireshark to see what it is doing. Nintendo is a bit surprising....I am with you. I also would like to know what and why my vehicle is communicating with various outside organizations. Your post about your vehicle having uploaded data really got me wondering; so I checked up on my R1S. I picked up my R1S on June 29, and you can clearly see in the pic below that it is communicating with a number of outside entities ever since I got it home.
As you can see the data exchange began on the very day I brought the vehicle home. What is most puzzling is why it is uploading data to Amazon, Spotify, Google, Facebook, and Nintendo. Of those, I never use any of them except Amazon, and I did not do anything on Amazon thru my vehicle. Very puzzling!
Anyone have answers/thoughts on this?
NOT using a service is still data that is very useful for modeling why and what some use a service or don't use service.
