Some food for thought. Vizio made more money selling ads and the data from their customers than selling the actual TVs.

With TVs you are paying to be the product.

Easy with one card, but it’s a different story when you have multiple cards. Transit pass, loyalty cards from grocery stores for discounts, credit cards for cash back rewards.

It’s an issue of charging. Europe has cities that are very old. Streets are narrower than North America. Many apartments don’t have underground parking. Cars are parked on the street. There’s nowhere to plugin the EV overnight.

Make sure you don’t bring your phone because your carrier will track your location. Also walk with a fake limp, so gait tracking can’t match you.

You can look into this if you want to upgrade to a newer macOS.

All modern cars have cellular connectivity. The manufacturer pays the monthly fee. Since most cara have gps built in, they always know where you are.

When you connect your phone to the car via bluetooth or usb your phone will trust the car and hand over the data. Want to see that message on the car screen? Well the car manufacturer now has a copy of it. In real time.

Give fedora a try. It has everything you would need from a modern “vanilla” linux distro and no user telemetry tracking.
