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.

The port of entry that originally denied you entrance immediately notes that in the system and you are "Flagged" at all other ports of entry.

As I understand it, LineageOS does have Google Play Services built in. The microG version is for if you wish to spoof those services for apps that rely on them if you choose to not use actual google background services (location, play store etc)

just a pipe dream

I see what you did there ;-)

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"

That was just COVID-19. Wait until COVID-21 (or whatever) and a larger chunk of groomed idiocy will disappear

It'd be cool if you could tap into the OBD2 dongle and find what its criteria is that denotes "rapid accelerations" or "hard braking" and them reprogram it to dampen that curve and never report more than maybe 5% less than what would trigger an acceleration or braking flag

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. I expect upwards of 90% of drivers would be stunned as well that they are not as good of a driver as they imagine and that "I've never having an accident" doesn't carry as much weight with the algorithm as they might have hoped.

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.
