  • My theory is that it covers dash cam recordings (video and/or audio). Some dash cameras point backwards from the back mirror, so they get a partial view from inside the car. Everyone’s assuming that Nissan is intending to collect this info, but their EULA might merely be a side-effect of dash cam data being available to technicians when they work on the car (e.g. fixing the dash cam).


  • Like someone else mentioned: you should be able to join meetings without an account.

    That said, making an account with a custom email address will not create a microsoft mail inbox for you. Microsoft, however, will use your email address to send service-related messages. If I recall correctly, you can manage what kind of messages you want to receive, in your account settings.

    The main difference is that you’d just be making a regular(free) microsoft account bound to an existing email address of your choice, as opposed to binding your domain name to a microsoft account to host your email there - which is mostly something companies do and is a paid service last time I checked.


  • This is partially true: Android does sandboxing, but it only gives you partial control over your apps. Firstly, certain permissions give a wider access than initially seems (e.g. media access). Secondly, not all permissions are user-manageable. For example: you cannot stop certain apps (like banking apps) to query the system for other apps you have installed.


  • As an experienced Android dev and former iOS dev: pushing someone to Google products is not going to improve someone’s privacy. Apple is not “good” in terms of privacy, but Google is much worse. The only real options in that area are MicroG-based Android OS-es, or fully de-googled ones. However, custom ROMs are often not problem-free though. In that case, a Pixel phone is probably still the best option.
