What's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make? (sopuli.xyz)

I've got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn't? Any tools that you're just waiting for a chance to replace but can't yet?

A car built after 2010 so it's full of cameras and lte connections and gps etc so car companies and the advertisers they sell data to and the governments they backdoor always know what trips I make, how far, how long I stay, etc.

Dang, I got a 2015 car kitted out (tint, roof racks, sub, rims, a million speakers, leather everything, glass roof with limo lighting under retractable electronic cover) that I found for a steal accidentally at like 50k miles and it has ONE camera—backup camera! (Dashcam too, but no WiFi or Bluetooth and i installed that myself) Of course, she’s got a GPS and all that; if I had the knowhow, I’d disconnect it.

I hope I keep her forever. I love her.
