“…an inferior browsing experience” FTFY

That link is to an article on “How to Turn Off Smart TV Snooping Features.” Nothing to do with a poop pick up drone. Here is a relevant article: https://hackaday.com/2024/09/28/dog-poop-drone-cleans-up-the-yard-so-you-dont-have-to/

Isn’t there just an article I can read faster than the video takes…?

I read (and comprehend) far faster than it takes a typical yt video to get past the intro and sponsor crap.

You can use a Privacy card with any name you want on it although some small vendors with actual people running the purchase process can read and take issue when the “card” is supposedly issued to a “Mybig Blackdog”

Very true, I was focusing more on the story’s driver being “surprised” and “stunned” by the amount of data collected and that all that date didn’t convince an Insurance Company’s algorithm he was a driver worthy of paying them less than his current premium.

Kinda like those who choose to be in the Progressive Insurance “Snapshot” program where you install an OBD2 dongle that reports a lot of data about your driving habits back to Progressive in the dim chance you drive so well that they will lower your rates.
