Not all used cars are sold via a stealer, some are sold person-to-person... I for one would rather pay cash on Craigslist than pay a dealer an additional cut,
And if you pair your phone with a rental car, make sure to forbid it from uploading contacts to the car, and to wipe the car's Bluetooth data before you return it.
Scissors. Antenna cable. Problem solved.
Even if only I have access to the app and web site, the servers themselves (run by the automaker) have access to my car. Why the hell would I let someone else's server have access to my car?
The only way I'd allow that is if they allowed use of your own encryption keys. Load an encryption key into the car with a USB, push the same key to your phone and computer. Anyone without the key, including the automaker themselves, shouldn't be able to shut down your car, lock it, unlock it, or read its location.
Minus they key, they should only be able to do firmware updates, but only with your permission, at a time scheduled by you.
His quote about "needing" to know what users are doing strikes me as the height of condescension and paternalism.
Microsoft should write the damn software. The data which people who choose to use it generate is none of their business.
Incidentally, there is a private way to do all of this. Update a database of recent documents/work in progress across devices, but protect everything with keys known only to the devices themselves, not to Microsoft. Microsoft just chooses to snoop, rather than doing it that way.
Does anyone assign children to write documents on a tablet? Chromebooks seem to be gaining popularity in lower education, while what I see in higher education is about a 30:30:30:10 mix. Macbooks:Chromebooks:Windows:Linux. Any of those things is closer in form factor to a laptop, not to a tablet or phone.
It would take much LONGER to write a paper on a tablet -- if I had a kid with that assignment, I'd show them how to type it on a real laptop, then copy the thing to whatever tablet their school was trying to force down people's gullets.
If you want to cite Texas vs White, this decision was 150 years ago. Many Supreme Court decisions of that era were overturned or modified -- interpretations change over time. We went from Plessy in the 1890s to Brown vs Board of Ed in the 1950s.
Also, California could probably garner support for a secession amendment via threatening to split into many blue states. Given that the majority of states (as well as both houses of Congress and the Presidency) are red right now, California splitting into a bunch of blue states, each with two Senators would create a lot of support for an "alternative plan." Create a situation where the majority of the country would be all too glad to kick California out.
You're assuming that Lincoln's actions were legal. Moral, yes, considering the issue at stake.
Where in the Constitution is it stated that the union of states is permanent? In fact, the Constitution omitted the "perpetual union" verbiage that was used earlier in the Articles of Confederation -- it can be argued that it deliberately didn't specify a perpetual union.
The FBI should start sending out fake Nigerian spam, then sending anyone who responds an automated warning that "if this were a real scam, you'd be broke soon." Call it a mass education campaign.
Sure, but Microsoft doesn't need to know what I'm working on for this to work. I can open a copy of the document read-only from the cloud-storage (or private server) of my choice.
Hopefully, it's environmental damage. The world would be a better place if people like Belfiore got an incurable physical illness as well as a mental one.
Microsoft doesn't "need" to know what you, I, or anyone else are working on. It's not a big deal to re-open a document on a different device without giving your life's story to Microsoft (or any other Big Cloud company).
This is just an excuse to loot your personal/corporate data under the excuse of a tiny bit more convenience.
Also, the functions of phones and "desktop" devices (not really desktops, could be laptops with a keyboard) are orthogonal. The first are for brief communications, (yes) talking, recording of data (e.g. fitness tracking), and media consumption. But they stink at content production, which "desktop" devices excel at. Try writing several pages on a phone or many tablets -- it amounts to torture.
Better yet, have the washer drum rotate back and forth rapidly to "rearrange" the load. Or limit the spin RPM in that instance to a speed which won't "bang." Why screech about a problem when it can be fixed?
You sound like a Soviet apparatchik around 1985. "We'll never see an independent Ukraine." "Soviet troops will keep Poland liberated for all time." Times change and things change.
Sedition requires advocacy of war or force -- the law is inapplicable to peaceful dissolution of the US. There's a reason why the words "perpetual union" were deliberately omitted from the Constitution.
Other than voice control, the key fob and phone control can be done 100% locally or peer-to-peer, without Google, Amazon, or Apple spying on you 24/7/365.
"Step up security?" I'd just get a large dog, no spying or monitoring required.
Yes. The facts say it all. The Ninth Circuit upholds privacy rights that the Supreme Court (packed with corporate and law-enforcement shills) doesn't bother with anymore.
I am familiar with the law, and also aware that it doesn't prohibit discussion of peaceful dissolution referenda -- it only discusses "force or violence." Plenty of discussion of Calexit recently, number of people prosecuted = zero. Last I checked, we still have the 1st Amendment.
I've seen bag check, but I've never seen ID check. Maybe I go to the wrong events. I always thank the suckurinetea checker drone for the prison experience, and ask him/her when they got out. Can't beat 'em, make them uncomfortable. Goes for all scum in the law enforcement and privacy theft industries.
Then here's hoping for another good, hard recession before 2020. Nothing like a recession to get the funding of government TLA and military filth cut to the marrow.

Cut the 4G/GSM antenna cable. If the car can't talk to the mothership, it can't snitch.
Isn't M$ Stink just an entertainment system?
Microsoft or Adobe don't control 3000 lb hunks of steel moving at 70 mph, generally speaking.

No, a win for consumers would allow direct connection, encrypted by public/private keys generated on devices, possibly mediated by Google.
Google won't get any data, but will handle updates and connection mediation.

(provided the phone is capable of running an OS that doesn't stink on the desktop)

Consideration for neighbors is way over-rated when balanced with privacy :)

Go to concerts at bars and small venues where entry is cash at the door and there's no security theater bullshit.
I'm assuming it's to replace both, since the ID "is" the ticket.
I've seen bag check, but I've never seen ID check. Maybe I go to the wrong events. I always thank the suckurinetea checker drone for the prison experience, and ask him/her when they got out.
