I used to like Deezer. I found the audio quality better than Spotify’s. Better user interface too, simple and straightforward unlike the messy and cluttered Spotify inteface. Stopped using it when they removed regional pricing.

Most of the stuff I carry have already been mentioned so I’ll just add the ones not a lot of people carry:
- hand sanitizer
- a small travel vial of liquid soap
- a couple of squares of toilet paper rolled up
All of those including the standard phone, keys, wallet, etc. all fit in a small handbag that I wear across my chest.
Sometimes if I know I’ll be out in hot weather, I bring water in an insulated container. I also have a small bag that specifically has a pocket for water bottles.
Small one is for #1, bigger one for #2.
I've been using the IOS app since it was launched and just wanted to say you're awesome! The app has been very helpful when I need to check my city's sub and r/nba (both exist in lemmy but aren't as active yet).
I posted this before when another user posted a similar problem. Obviously yours is particular with google so some parts may not apply, but the gist is that you need to figure out your threat model.
You need to step back and review your threat model, then figure out the balance point between privacy and convenience/QoL. There is no such thing as complete privacy unless you go completely offline and live like a hermit. So something has to give, and your threat model will help you identify that. Figure out first what exactly you’re protecting, and from who. Then you can assess which ones you will deem non-negotiable when it comes to privacy, some where you can relax a bit in exchange for covenience (and this has levels as well), and lastly the ones where you have no choice because blocking something will make it cease to function. Having this threat model will also help you figure out what extent you would want to expose yourself depending on the service. Don’t put everything into the same tier because that will be impossible. Good luck.
You’ll still get a broken window and steering column because the thieves can’t tell if the car has had the update or not and will still attempt to steal it.
This is the same for most businesses that offer customers to delete (or stop selling) your data. You have to fill out forms with a bunch of very personal information for them to delete your data, which is a hassle. You don't even know what data they have on you and may very well be providing even more info than what they have just by requesting to delete it. IMO they should just ask for a name. Hell, if you have an account with them, then it should be straightforward to proceed if it's requested by a user who is logged into their account. They can even send a confirmation email or something to ensure the account wasn't compromised.
My lower back and knees remind me that I’m a grown up.
Not small, but I think you’ll have better chances with the mid level commuter cars. You’ll probably get some error messages on some of them, but if you can ignore them, they wouldn’t stop the car from running.It’s the high end ones and EVs that have a higher chance of bricking if you disable the antenna.
Safer way would probably be going forward and staying there, like another comment said. Maybe use it to skip boring stuff, like waiting in line at the DMV, or waiting for your food to be served, etc.
There’s a dude in wallstreetbets who dumped a $700k inheritance into Intel stocks. lol
This is a bit different, but I took a taxi once where the driver was ranting how slow other drivers around him were reacting to traffic saying they weren't paying attention...while he was fiddling with his phone and texting someone.
