  • Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

    Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.












  • Hope you reach that goal soon. In the meantime, if you have a mobile device from at least the last decade, retro gaming using emulator apps like dolphin might be an option to hold you over. Most of my gaming has shifted to old PS2 titles and unofficial fan made APK ports onto Android, has my laptop gets too hot and loud to play off the desk.
