If by “for a while” you mean “until I’m dead” . . then yea, sure. Any other definition . . no chance in hell.

Ironic . . as I use a burner phone when traveling to the USA.

It’s more like “Operation White Flag”. Strategically, this ends in a major loss for the USA. The only winning move was not to play . . as every other US President since Jimmy Carter was smart enough to understand. The 2 remaining choices are: commit the entire DOD to a ground invasion of the Iran homeland . . or lose. And there is no sign the DOD is ramping up for a ground war.

I drive an MGS5 EV - MG is a British brand, but it’s manufactured by SAIC Motors. Every bit a Chinese company. I traded a VW ID.4 for it . . and WHAT AN UPGRADE. Better across the board - faster charging, longer real world range, much, MUCH better software . . . all for 25% less than the ID.4.

Jim Farley is right to be terrified . . . Both the American and the German legacy car companies are screwed.

I plan on retiring next year. My bookmark collection is so large, collected over the last 2 decades . . I’ve put this task on my “things to do in the first year” bucket. I expect it will take me days and days to sort through!

Uber???

Serious suggestion - install Shelter and move both WhatsApp and Uber into your work profile. That has a number of advantages - keeping them away from your contacts and gives you the ability to suspend all closed source apps with a single click.

What the F took you so long???

Anna’s Archive is the correct answer for the ebook source - an amazing resource.

Me personally, I ditched Kindle for a PocketBook years ago. Founded in Kiev, moved it’s HQ to Switzerland, all their models are based on a Yocto Linux platform with the default file format being epub. Highly recommended!

1,000 times this. Rot in hell.

Clearly your question was honest and well intentioned, but without meaning to, you’ve stumbled into what must be one of the most pointless and mean spirited online security debates. That is the online wars between GOS, /e/ and LineageOS supporters - although to be fair, that is mostly hate coming from the GOS camp to everyone else.

ANY of the 3 - GOS, /e/ or LineageOS is LIGHT YEARS ahead of stock Android for privacy. Each have their pros and cons - what’s best for YOU depends on your own personal situation (TARA model).

I’ve worked in Dubai and had the opportunity to drive with a local to Muscat. It was interesting, but . . . only because he was local and knew a few cool beaches and inlets to stop into on the drive. If I had been doing that drive alone . . well, you nailed it in your OP. Oman is rather . . sparse. And as for Muscat itself . . well, in a region with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha & Bahrain . . . its hard to justify as a top 10 tourist destination.

tl;dr: Glad a saw it . . I won’t go out of my way to see it again.

You mean a convicted rapist and frequent flyer on Epstein’s pedo jet doesn’t have the best instincts? Shocked . . shocked I tell you.

I was an early ID.4 owner (past tense). After that brief and painful experience, all I can say is I feel very sorry for the residents of Tel Aviv.

So after receiving a flood of replies saying the same thing . . . this could happen to all modern cars . . you go back and edit the OP to double-down on the EV question?

Are you a shill for big oil???

I am employed by a major Tier 1 electronics supplier to multiple car manufactures. Your question has NOTHING to do with EV’s - we sell the exact same ADAS components for use in EV’s, ICE, and hybrid cars & trucks.

But to answer your question . . . nothing is 100% hacker proof. All modern cars (ICE, EV’s, hybrid) cars could be hacked . . and any of them with an advanced ADAS system could be modified as you describe to “frame the driver”.

Thank you for the very helpful suggestion.

I have both a PineTime and BangleJS . . . but I am eagerly awaiting the release of the new Pebble watches. The round looks great . . . but does not include pulse. Whereas the square one look a bit more tech . . and does include a pulse monitor.
