Snow is coming back but I'm not allowed to do any sport yet. So, no #skiing for me this weekend. 
I'll instead find some comfort going for #snow #car #drifting on the small mountain roads around here.
Got brand new winter tires on the #Subaru #Impreza GT Turbo AWD. I'll take some pictures and maybe a video or two if I manage. Let's rip it!
@Shrigglepuss it's amazing, I love the GF8. I don't like the sedan ones, just the wagons. 
Had my mom test drive my new (old), fully stock, Subaru Impreza GT Turbo AWD.
We realized recently that even if you don't own a Tesla, many of the connectivity packages available for new vehicles may use Starlink. It's hidden from the consumer, but it's there.
...And even if you cancel YOUR connectivity subscription, the vendor likely continues to collect the "health" of your vehicle.
I could be wrong. Maybe it's not.
Does anyone have the faintest idea of what the strip in this #picture might be? I found it on my #garage floor. The reverse side is sticky-backed so it probably fell off something. The blocks alternate between "Fe 5" (11.45mm wide) and "Fe 10" (22.85mm wide). The blocks stick to a magnet but are not themselves magnetised. My #Subaru has recently had a general service, plus a separate visit where the tyres were rotated and wheels aligned. The strip may be associated with those activities.
I'm a Dad, Doom 64 Speedrunner, and a Linux Systems Engineer focusing on HPC at the University of Virginia. I've been into computers and configuring them since I can remember and I have finally found the job that I love that let's me work with my hobby in a laid back, chill, and interesting environment.
Let's chat about #Linux, #SteamDeck, #Subaru, #Android, #Gaming, and #HPC environments! Glad to meet you and thanks for stopping by!

@woof thinking a bit ahead, you just wait till this concept is exploited in cars.

Does anyone know how to completely disconnect the STARLINK connection in a Subaru?
There seems to be a hardware solution of disconnecting antennae. I’m wondering if there’s a software solution someone knows about.
My searches have returned nothing.

Subaru Bug Exposes Vulnerability for Remote Vehicle Tracking and Hijacking - https://www.redpacketsecurity.com/subaru-bug-enabled-remote-vehicle-tracking-and-hijacking/
This is one of the many reasons why Vehicles, refrigerators, freezers, doorbells, locks, should **not** have phone home options that you cannot turn off
Thanks to @vermaden I now know about the Subaru vunurability affecting millions of vehicles
Check out this beautiful #SubaruLoyale (third generation Leone produced between 1984 and 1993) I saw parked outside of Lounge Lizard in #Portland! It was in fantastic shape, considering it is 30-40 years old, with just a bit of scuffed paint.
La collecte des données personnelles par l’industrie automobile
Exemple : Subaru
Le suivi de localisation étendu de Subaru est une démonstration particulièrement troublante du manque de protection de la vie privée de l'industrie automobile autour de sa collecte croissante de données personnelles sur les conducteurs.

#Sicherheitslücke im #Starlink Informationssystem von #Subaru mangels "Security by Design" durch IT-Sicherheitsforscher ermittelt - aber glücklicherweise schon innerhalb von 24 Stunden durch den Hersteller geschlossen:
"Das Starlink-Infotainmentsystem, das Subaru in seinen Fahrzeugen einsetzt, verfügte über Fernzugriffsfunktionen"
"In den JavaScript-Dateien fanden sie heraus, dass Mitarbeiterpasswörter ohne Bestätigungstoken zurückgesetzt werden konnten." #cybersecurity
