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

!right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de you think companies preventing you from repairing your stuff is BS?

Okay cool, it didn’t open anything on boost so I wasn’t sure what it was.

Should be the top link in the post body, let me know if it doesn’t work.

Absolutely. Maybe an exception for video game multiplayer cheating, but that’s the only thing I can think of. Any other situation I can think of just enriches the computer to the massive detriment of the user.

In this case, if it is illegal, it definitely shouldn’t be.
