Disabling OnStar by pulling the fuse should keep cars from phoning home with info. I don’t know if they still collect it though.

Yeah, laws are only as good as their enforcement. Hopefully NY can get on that.

Great news! Thanks for sharing these! I’m sure [email protected] would also be a good fit if someone would like to cross post.

Power point archivist and people tracker downer!

Someone I know who worked on it told me what he thought the root cause was, I guess we’ll see if corporate shares the same conclusion.

The settings button on the top right of the main website has an area for a template. But I think this picture is having issues too, I’ll see if I can update it. Also, the spot I suggested has been taken since, I’ll try and see if there’s a new location.

I use the college stuff maybe once a month, but still in Excel! You cannot escape the Excel!

That’s the one I’m familiar with. But the slides themselves are super useful a few years later when you can’t remember what in the world you were thinking.

Great news, iFixit partnerships are a great way to improve repairability.

Hooray!

Great! Here it is: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/12311551

Mind if I crosspost to [email protected]? Or you could if you’d like. I think it’d fit very well.
