For the very strange who accept driving the new "smartphones with wheels".
Including, note, the cars with the embedded telephone as mandated by the european union past 2018 - the e-call systems. Some articles went "there could be privacy issues, but it is a remote eventuality": now you see that someone could push as normal an eavesdropper in your car.
- stavros 3y ago"A remote eventuality" my ass, I bet that's the primary reason behind the push.
- mdp2021 3y agoSometimes, Stavros, it is a painful choice to decide in assessment between malice and the various shades of stupidity - the perspective of the latter can be a tad more difficult to digest. But the last time I read reported unhandable blabbering devoid of awareness and mental competence, attributed to a "minister of the republic", was just minutes ago. When you hear utterings like "it will save lives" - completely alien to conscience of quality of life, good reason, cleanness and propriety, rejection of absurdity, collaterals etc. - I am afraid they may actually "believe" that (or, better, just "sit on that", "hold on that", "cling to that" in some internal economy).
- stavros 3y agoHm, yeah, you're right. It's a difficult choice because both options are so dire, but I guess they have to be when you have a decision like this.
