> Correction: My car spies on me and its cruise control no longer works because it slams on the brakes in the middle of the highway whenever it sees a mirage. My dishwasher broke because it got an unasked-for software upgrade.
Never, ever connect appliances to the Internet. I thought this was common knowledge on HN. Also pull the telematics (cell modem) fuse to prevent your car from snooping on you and selling your location and driving habits to data brokers and insurance companies.
Yes, but this is ridiculous for society. It is to the level of "do not wear a nice watch if you do not want it to get stolen": there should be no need to avoid wearing a nice watch or to pull a telematics fuse from the car in the first place!
