A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Tangentially related: I have a 2022 Subaru, I used to have a 2021 Subaru. Subaru has a mobile app where I can start the car, locate it, unlock the doors, etc. When I traded in the 2021, it never removed it from my app. I’m able to see where the car is parked, and presumably start it, open the doors, whatever.
I tried contacting Subaru, I looked for a bug reporting or bug bounty but couldn’t find one anywhere. All I could find was instructions to remove the car off of my app. I view this as a huge privacy breach, it shouldn’t be my responsibility to remove the previous owners info from the app.
