I didn't downvote you, I just have a healthy distrust of link shorteners. There is absolutely zero reason for using them around here.

Very interesting. Lots of news websites are operating on a very similar principle, with the user having to either accept all cookies or pay for an expensive subscription that allows them to opt out of tracking cookies. I've always thought that this couldn't possibly be legal.
So far, everything humans have created is only as smart as their creators and, well, we all know who is running Tesla.
If you think you are impervious to this, then I got news for you.
The problem in both cases is that people remember these artistic depiction as real, even if there's a disclosure.
All of these modes are also deeply nested within the touchscreen menu you have to use for everything while driving, because that's totally safe. At least there's a highly reliable self-driving mode that totally doesn't suffer from the fact that Tesla removed radar for cost reasons (they even disabled it on cars that already had it).
Mazda once measured that every single touchscreen input while driving caused a steering impulse and that drivers looked away from the road for a significant amount of time to navigate through menus. That's why their infotainment systems relied on a dial and buttons instead - until 2023, when they gave up and conveniently forgot about this study, because lots of ~~idiots~~ people were complaining about not having a tablet computer to play around with while driving.
You can make the camera blind with a sticker or one of those slidey cover things, although it's much more annoying since that fad of cut outs for cameras has started.
Also, like I said in the other comment, my phone isn't attached to my chest like a body cam and constantly in a position to film everything in the room. If the NSA wants to see my feet, the ceiling or my face, they are free to do so.
Sure, but at least my phone doesn't have a wide-angle lens that could be constantly filming everything, because it's attached to my chest.
My mid-range 2014 laptop has this little. This was considered the minimum for a productivity-oriented device a decade ago.
Much to my annoyance, it's also one of the first (edit: modern) laptops with non-upgradeable RAM, which I didn't know beforehand. It's still usable, but I'm using Firefox instead of Chrome (so 50 tabs are no issue) and it's never been my primary device.
He never said that, by the way.
Guess what my opinion on QR codes is.
