I’ll start: printers.
I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn’t sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library’s close by and I can print there remotely.
Hyundai. In terms of the major/historical brands, it has started with Hyundai, and other brands are also getting in on the act.
Plus, Tesla has been doing it for years, now. A Tesla will go into “limp home mode” with almost any kind of unauthorized repair you do to it.
Since OnStar was first released, in the late 80s, it has gone over cellular modems. It’s how anyone with OnStar in their vehicle could have it remotely disabled from the very first OnStar vehicle onward. And pretty much every vehicle manufactured after 2006 has a cell phone SIM or eSIM installed so as to provide real-time data stream to the mothership, and by 2014 this even included consumer access to the Internet via 4G LTE services.
Ignorance is how you’ve gotten egg on your face. You might want to do some fundamental research next time.
Hyundai does not do that lol.
OnStar isn’t in every car.
You can repair basically nothing on a Tesla because it’s got basically nothing you can physically repair.
Pretty much no cars come with a sim or eSIM that is constantly sending data back.
