      My toothbrush don’t know jack shit; it may be electric, but it’s dumb as a brick.

      I refuse to buy smart appliances.

    I’m on your tram, but how long do you think it’ll be before all cars (and ebikes) are “connected”?

    I can’t see myself buying a 90s car in 20 years.

      I wonder how big of a percentage of currently manufactured cars have some sort of “phone home” features. I honestly have no clue, I haven’t owned a car in about 20 years now (nowadays I live and work in an area with great public transport) so funnily enough it’s actually not very likely I’d ever even have this problem.

      In another 20 years, I’d be surprised if cars that don’t phone home are even legal (well, if industrial society is still standing anyhow and everything’s not just irradiated ruins).

      If you look up your car and search how to remove internet connectivity or modem, most likely it will show you. I’ve already found how to do this on Chevy and Teslas.

  I am pretty certain my Audi 80 from 1994 doesn’t know anything about me. Can’t opt out, if it doesn’t collect anything.

  Just buy an older car, I don’t get the obsession with having the newest expensive BS in a vehicle.
