Another way to think about it... YouTube has huge amounts of compute resources, but per user it's an extremely small amount. Your phone has orders of magnitude more power to dedicate to you than YouTube does. Collectively, we have more processing power than YouTube.
Worth pointing out that credit scores are completely detached from the government. They are entirely private industry, that is collecting and selling your financial info without your consent or opt in. Also, if you were born before 2004, then they have also accidentally leaked literally all your personal info to the dark web, with literally 0 consequences.
Somebody didn't live though the "Morrowind on Xbox" era where "creativity" meant intentionally freezing the loading screen and rebooting your system in order to save a few KB of RAM so the cell would load.
But also having no automatic corpse cleanup, so the game would eventually become unplayable as entities died outside of your playable area, so you couldn't remove them from the game, creating huge bloat in your save file.
Facebook started giving me friend suggestions of people who worked there. Location wasn’t even enabled on my phone.
Some devices will still passively check SSIDs, even with WiFi "off", then they just look for users who have similar nearby wireless networks.
Bluetooth?
Maybe even ultrasound to detect nearby devices?
I don't think you can have privacy online anymore. The best thing you can do is make a lot of noise, so it's hard to determine what data is real, and who it belongs to.
It's a fair assumption that adding extra systems to the car makes it overall less reliable, but it's not necessarily true. Electric motors, compared to IC engines, are extremely simple and reliable. The servicing guidelines for the electric drivetrain in my hybrid is essentially "replace the battery if it stops holding enough charge", there is no schedule for any routine maintenance of those components. Adding the hybrid system also reduces the wear and tear on the conventional drivetrain and brakes. Hybrids can do regenerative braking, which means that (for my vehicle at least) most of the braking down to maybe 10mph is done by regen, which functionally has no wear and tear. The electric motors also assist the ICE at the times where peak wear and stress occur, reducing the load and stress on the motor, and extending it's lifespan. By adding the hybrid system, the overall reliability and lifespan of the vehicle is increased rather than decreased.
