Nice write-up by Jeff.

Things are getting out of hand. It’s time for a change. Only buy equipment with local access.

    I’m driving a 2007 Citroën. I hope I can find a car without OTA updates when it’s time to upgrade.

    I really don’t want a bait-and-switch where I start to get ads on the dashboard at every intersection.

      I mostly agree with you, but my ford had a software update (USB not ota) that added Android auto like a year after I bought it. That’s about the only update I’d tolerate

        Yeah, me, too.

        But it feels like all cars made in the last decade have connectivity. I’m not a fan.
