There’s a recall for that. They will replace your telematics module for free with a “bypass box”, which preserves the function of the front speakers, which stop working when you pull that fuse. Sorry I don’t know if this also ends the telematics phone home problem. This is specifically to address the battery drain problem. It fixed my similar battery issues.
Anybody know if it turns off the data uploads, or not?
On my 2019 Outback, I can kill this function by pulling the telematics fuse. But this also kills the front speakers. I need to look into disconnecting the antenna, but I’m a little unsure about removing the headliner to access the bottom of the antenna. Is there another way?
I hope they let me work, I need the money.
At this point, it’s the best I can do. I have tape on the selfie camera too. I guess I could bust this pixel 7a open and add physical switches to the cameras and mike, but I’m not real confident in my ability to pull that off. Maybe you can tell me how to do that.
On Android, I have the mic, location, and camera blocked via the pulldown tiles menu. I turn them on when needed. The OS and some apps like to bitch about this sometimes but it seems to be working ok.
My iphone does not offer these blanket blocking options. It’s a work phone, so I just leave it off unless I need it.
Is voice chat anything like talking on the phone?
“Alleged” shooter. Are you convinced they got the right guy? I’m not. What they got is one very unlucky guy. It could have been anyone who roughly looks like that.

Medical school.
Cold Turkey. Yes. That’s exactly what I did, in 2014, after 20 years of smoking, and it works. You must decide, absolutely, NEVER AGAIN. Not even a brush close to smoking again. After a week, it was easier. After a month, it was a new way of life, and a much better one. You’ll see.
My Chinese engineer specifies Fake Shake, mixed with 40% oatmeal by weight for optimal compression load.
In the whole.
And don’t slam on the breaks in your car while doing it.

What about old people? I’m over 70 and I have around 14 hours a day of screen time. As do many others. Are we anxious and depressed, too? Data shows?
50% off I’d expect.

Missouri, maybe? The governor there did the same thing to a newspaper reporter in St. Louis a couple years back.
To fix the battery drain problem, you can add a jumper wire inside the main fuse box that makes it so the DCM is powered only when the car is running, not all the time. Details here:
