>>107089944I downloaded a sketchy program once. I knew it was sketchy, so I ran it in a VM.

Nowadays I only download cracked software from 1337 (or fitgirl/dodi in the case of games) and so far I haven't had a problem on my actual computer. Never click on random web searches that want you to click a billion ad-infested links and download a suspiciously-sized exe that has no icon, that's never a good sign kek
>>107090727It is not fan fiction.Car companies are looking for different sources of revenue to "create value for the shareholders", and anything goes. From turning features into subscriptions to forcing you to go to a dealership because every part nowadays has to be decoded for your car to fucking sell your data to insurance companies.
>>107089998I remember reading about a Chinese-American who bought an American car, and the car kept screaming at him, thinking he was sleeping because of his eyes.
>>107090924The whole "profit motive" point is stale, it's the greedy corporations bro! It's proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the elite want a neo-feudal technocratic panopticon, see the Great Reset, digital ID.

>>107089944Security updates don't matter if you are not retarded. As long as you don't download malware on your own like a moron, or expose your computer directly to the internet, you will be fine. Chink botnets equipped with SMB exploits can't reach your PC if its hidden behind your ISPs router. You can make your setup even more idiot-proof with 3rd party firewall like simplewall, since most malware can't bypass any firewall at the first place, or install russian font in your system that you don't really have to use (guess why). All videos on youtube like "OOOOH I CONNECTED OLD WINDOWS TO INTERNET AND GOT HACKED IN 10 FEMTO SECONDS!" are doctored because every single time they either download the malware on their own or connect it directly to the internet, which is absolutely not the case for any normal user, I can't stress this enough how much I hate this lying linux trannies who lie like this.

>Cars are always connected to manufacturer and Insurance company with constant upstream of data>When claims are done, still need to fill out every fucking form under the sun and make sure that your story has no holes in it (Even if it is minor incongruent details)I KNEW CLAIMS WERE HUMILIATION RITUALS
>>107094288There are ways for you to get infected with malware without you going out of your way to run a suspicious executable... seemingly innocuous files can be crafted to take advantage of exploits in web browsers, pdf readers, image/file viewers, etc.Exploits get discovered for web browsers every year, which makes people running old browser software vulnerable targets for drive-by malware
>>107092175I don't know if this story is actually real, but if it is it would be pretty easy to prove there was only one person in the car by either:>microphones / cameras detecting his son was the only voice / person in the car>seat presence detectors (which I guess every car must have for the seatbelt warnings) detecting that only the drivers seat was occupied
>>107090060I'm amazed they're actually giving you a link to a resource you can try to use to do something about it. Guess they couldn't afford to pay Forbes to say "and there's nothing you can do about it so just accept it as a part of life" like TV news has done with cell phones.

>>107090993The people who argue for "techno-feudalism" are Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin.Yarvin is friends with Eron Wolf who is bankrolling Right to Repair and Louis Rossmann.I don't believe that the so-called techno-feudalists want this, because they understand this is fucking retarded.It's the Blackrocks of the world pushing this. They are tyrants, not kings.
>>107090993>>107099572Or to put this into Yarvinian terms, it's not the techno-feudalists making everything worse, it's the Cathedral that is responsible.

>>107094288>Chink botnets equipped with SMB exploits can't reach your PC if its hidden behind your ISPs router.Make sure to disable IPv6 in case your ISP's router doesn't properly implement a firewall (or worse, rugpulls you by breaking it in one of their mandatory updates).This is why NAT actually is a security feature, because the internet sans NAT is exposed by default and has to have forwarding restrictions to prevent exposure, whereas NAT is restricted by default and you need to do a port mapping to expose it.

>>107099582I'm not too familiar with these individuals and their ideology.>Yarvin has been described as a "neo-reactionary", "neo-monarchist" and "neo-feudalist" who "sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system, and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy">Drawing on computer metaphors, Yarvin contends that society needs a "hard reset" or a "rebooting", not a series of gradual political reforms.[47] Instead of activism, he advocates passivism, claiming that progressivism would fail without right-wing opposition.[48] According to him, NRx adherents should design "new architectures of exit" rather than engage in ineffective political activismSo he's another hard-sell propagandist for the cult. We don't need any of this 1984 Brave New World Klaus Schwab Yuval Harari posthumanism crap. It's antihuman. As bad as past Christian Monarchies are seen today, they would be preferrable, parliamentary or absolute, I don't know yet, I haven't researched this subject enough to have a nuanced opinion. One thing is absolutely certain however, no monarch had the power, or sought to have the power that these technocrats have and want to have. They were responsible in front of God for the protection of their people in a fundamental sense, whereas the Thiel types are brazenly posthuman and want to transform humanity into something else, which is heretical, and Yarvin's ideal is a complete 180 in comparison to any random Christian monarch in the past millenium. These people are unhinged and are in rebellion against the image of God: man, or if you want, rebellion against nature.>Should humanity survive?>uuuuhhhhhhh- Peter Thiel, 2025I'm currently listening to youtu.be/918qslcfwfY and Thiel's cadence is forceful and impatient that technology is stagnant, almost to the point of barely containable seething. Are his types an enemy to mankind? Is it a stretch to say that this ideology and rhetoric is an existential threat?
>>107089992>>107089998Its multiple lies combined to push a certain angle. >1) Modern cars are a privacy nightmareThis is true, but depends upon car brands. This type of language is the same as people pushing the "All religions are same" when confronted with notion of terrorism/evils of the modern day era. Its meant to obfuscate, hide and create false impression for certain companies they do not like or like. >story about insuranceRandom shit, 100% chance its a lie>impaired driving preventionThis is true, but its not privacy invading because these technologies are all on vehicle hardware that detects whether the driver is attentive to driving or not. There's no privacy implications, there is however soft limitation of driving when this gets triggered. If someone is drunk/sleep/passed out/etc, the car stops going instead of crashing right into another car and killing both the driver/those involved in accident.

>>107090985KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>107094288Not to mention who the fuck is targeting this older segment of the market? Literally nobody. All exploits are aimed at the OS with the greatest market share since it likely offers the greatest target potential. This is like going fishing in a fucking puddle.
>>107096290This is mostly tranny fear mongering, since there are plenty of up to doot browsers/mail clients that work on Windows 7 and attacks involving exploits require someone to target you personally, at least in this case. Not a single serious cyber criminal will ever target 7gods, and seething linux trannies from /g/ are too incompetent for that.
Gee moves way too fast, and it's mostly bs.

>>107089944Honestly at this point there's only 3 things holding windows 7 back >driversSucks for the absolutely newest hardware, but you can still use Ryzen 9000 single CCD CPUs alongside an RTX 3090ti or an RX 6950xt and get plenty of power. >dx12 support Some of this you can get around with an old version of DXVK. But also at least one of the newer Vxkex devs is working on d3d12on7. >TLS v1.3There's already a lot of services that lock you out on Windows 7 because of this, but you can get around it with a proxy server hosted on a separate win10 or linux PCAnd as far as security, anon above already said basically everything you need to doAs long as you don't need to run Office 365 PhoneHome Edition or the latest UE5 slop game, you can still get anything you want done on Windows 7.
>too poor to upgrade hardware for 11 >too retarded for Linux These are the only reasons people use out of support versions of Windows. Older versions are objectively worse.
>>107090060>biometric data such as voice and facial recognition.My Audi uses voice commands and can detect who is speaking and where they are in the car. "Increase the heater" will work for the person speaking it, regardless of their position in the car.It's cool, but also frightening.

>>10711275111>10It's basic math, anon. Which is why Windows 2000 is the best OS ever.
>>107112737Doesn't have to be.For a system that is expected to have a decade+ lifetime, it would be difficult to actually have any recording medium.
>>107112751>What's better about Windows 11?It's actually Windows 10 with a new skin.
>>107112789They don't expect you to use them for a decade plus. They expect you to get it on payments, drive it for 3-5 years, then trade it for a new one. They start breaking down if you keep them longer than that. That's enough time for a 256GB SD card to store 360p footage of you recorded when you're driving. If it does run out of space it'll just overwrite the old files. More likely they just stream the footage using the same service they collect the rest of the telemetry with.Having a camera pointed at your face is inherently a privacy violation.
>>107112796What's better about Windows 10?
>>107094288This is true. Anons, please use outdated operating systems and hardware with no concern for security patches. You totally aren't making it really easy for bad actors to ship malware to you, no sir it is perfectly safe.
