Yes, it's the former.

Interesting, thanks. The fact that PayTM doesn't guard sensitive personal data even when it's a local tech behemoth makes me not want to use digital payments and switch to cash.

Except there's no evidence that they don't guard sensitive personal data other than an unsubstantiated post.

Wishing I still had my 89 Caprice with physical buttons and switches. Parts were insanely cheap too (except the transmission, which I part of why I got rid of it).

You wouldn’t be wishing that the first time you were in an accident.

The theory would be to rebuild it with a roll cage, harness, etc for mixed use. In theory, these safety systems are superior to airbags. The only impediments to helmets/Hans with a real harness are people who don't use the existing seat belt (airbag can prevent ejection) and they are too inconvenient for the general public.

Wanted to get Model Y in the past. Nice comfy car, huge backseat and… a camera filming inside the car. Thanks no. Apparently for drowsiness detection, but I am not buying it. Time of flight camera staring at the driver’s face is kinda normal in car industry. Not a normal color camera filming everything and streaming somewhere like Tesla does.

It's also used for pinging you when the light has turned green if you're texting while stopped at a red light.

Reminds me of the time I bought lunch at work, and a colleague told me exactly what I bought and how much I paid for it. I called him out and said it was a lucky guess, and then he proceeded to tell me my entire payment history for the past 2 days. Turns out when I was buying lunch, he was on the phone with a friend who worked at Paytm and that guy gave away my transaction history for shits and giggles. My trust in p…

I feel conflicted whenever I see a comment like this. On the one hand, let's assume it's true: a Paytm employee acted negligently. But on the other hand, what if it's not true? What if you happen to have a friend or family member who works for a Paytm competitor, or you have some grudge against Paytm for whatever reason, and are instead spreading low-key FUD about the company to make it seem like they have lax data c…

Good point. So how about the default should be zero knowledge or as close as we can get?

How about not willingly providing information of people that actually don’t NEED it?

uhhhh...that sounds like a...felony?

Paytm is an India thing. It might be illegal there, but I wouldn't count on enforcement being good for much.

I didn’t even realize Paytm was a real company when reading OP. It sounded like a generic name made up for purpose, like “Jane Doe” for payment companies.

A piece of tape can disable it.

I put tape on mine

Wake me up when there's an EV that is just a car and not an always-connected surveillance device on wheels.

That is the vehicle I want. A bare bones, maximum efficiency, rugged EV. A man can dream.

I think we'll start to see ICE-to-EV conversion kits become more popular over the next decade or so. So you may get your wish, just not with a brand-new car.
