Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import. I was visiting family in the U.K., and we rented a BYD Sealion SUV. And let me tell you: I saw immediately why American car companies are desperate to have these things kept out of this country. It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

I'm in IT and personally I'd genuinely like to see a "grey hat" examination of the internet traffic they send/receive before I'm ready to listen to a car reviewer giving reviews on how nice the seats are or charging is.
The fact that I work in IT is also why my home is secured with security doors and deadbolts.

Do you have Windows in your house?

I have Linux. Does that count?

No windows? Don't you miss the natural light?

This has free permanent residence in my head, even though some of his music is completely batshit. I don't even know what she's singing but it's up there forever.

Good old whataboutism.

Even if they use windows they can use a firewall and DNS block and get rid of absolutely all telemetry.

You can't do that in a car.

How does a firewall protect a large glass covered opening

By reducing the amount of people willing to get burned, mostly it will be firemen crossing.
