Check online forums focused on the car model you’re interested in. Often there’s a way to disable Internet connectivity on a car by disconnecting a fuse or antenna related to the cell connection. Keep in mind you won’t be able to use services like “OnStar” or unlock your doors remotely, or precool/heat the cabin without this connection.

I think at one point he wrote his own books. But I’d be surprised if he even writes the outlines for his novels anymore. His publisher is using his name as a brand now, and slapping it on books “co-written” by celebrities. Who knows how involved the celebs are past book promotion.

3·2 days agoIt’s just Tim’s Newton. We’ll get something better in ten years, like we got the iPhone. But I don’t know that it will come from Apple unless we get someone more creative in the leadership role.

At least he shelved the Apple Vision headset. Hopefully he also canned the Apple Glasses and AirPods with camera that were rumored.

224·3 days agoFuel economy hasn’t been a selling feature for a majority of buyers in the US since the 1970s. If it was, Ford wouldn’t have stopped shipping sedans here, and EVs wouldn’t need incentives and rebates.
A large section of the US market prefers to take out huge loans to buy an Escalade or a Ford F150 and then bitch about it when gas prices go up.

241·11 days agoSo far mostly hitting the AR headset team (Apple Vision) from what I’ve been reading. Which makes me wonder if the reported Apple Glasses project has been scrapped or scaled back (we can only hope).



















The original 1970s “Survivors”. Avoid the awful remake.
