@EricAlper Yes, this is old.
However:
It did not have in-app purchases.
Oh, it didn't come with #ads.
It had no direct or indirect #expiration date where it stopped working altogether.
It continued working even when its original #manufacturer went out of business.
You really owned it.
It had no dependency to the #cloud.
There were no features that stopped working because of some remote marketing guy decided so.
It didn't contain call-back routines to the manufacturer.
It did not listen to its surrounding and generate #voiceprofiles for all people you meet.
It didn't spy on its buyers and sell those voice profiles an other very personal #data to #brokers which resell to #insurances, #advertisement companies and worse.
You could actually go to any electronic shop to get it repaired.
It was not overpriced.
It just played #music. It was perfect.

#Cars #Surveillance #Privacy #Insurances #DataProtection #USA: "We've written previously about how insurance companies offer discounts for customers who opt into a usage-based insurance program. Every state except California currently allows the use of telematics data for insurance rating, but privacy protections for this data vary widely across states.
When you sign up directly through an insurer, these opt-in insurance programs have a pretty clear tradeoff and sign up processes, and they'll likely send you a physical device that you plug into your car's OBD port that then collects and transmits data back to the insurer.
But some cars have their own internal systems for sharing information with insurance companies that can piggy back off an app you may have installed, or the car’s own internet connection. Many of these programs operate behind dense legalese. You may have accidentally “agreed” to such sharing without realizing it, while buying a new car—likely in a state of exhaustion and excitement after finally completing a gauntlet of finance and legal forms.
This gets more confusing: car-makers use different terms for their insurance sharing programs." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/03/how-figure-out-what-your-car-knows-about-you-and-opt-out-sharing-when-you-can

Subsidized crop #insurances for farmers make their uptake more likely in high-risk settings. #Subsidies can translate in #environment impacts thru changes in input use, cultivation of more input-intensive crops, and conversion of marginal land: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-023-01569-9 #landuse

"Humanity is moving dangerously close to irreversible [risk] tipping points that would drastically damage our ability to cope with disasters … including the withdrawal of home insurance from flood-hit areas and the drying up of the groundwater that is vital for ensuring food supplies.
… the risk tipping points are … directly connected to people’s lives via complex social and ecological systems."

This is just terrible!
The media in #Finland have noticed that insurance companies are now even denying #insurances from people with #ADD / #ADHD diagnosis.

Given so many #options:
- You have picked an #electricity provider...
- You have picked #insurances...
- You have picked an #ISP...
- You have picked a #mobile phone provider...
- You have picked a mobile phone #brand and #model...
- You have picked an #email provider...
- You have picked household #appliances...But you're "too confused" to pick a #Mastodon server, says @Mastodon
Why would you pick their "default" server when they picture you like that?
Rather, use https://fediverse.observer/
