VW wouldn't locate kidnapped child because his mother didn't pay for find-my-car subscription

The masked car-thieves who stole a Volkswagen SUV in Lake County, IL didn’t know that there was a two-year-old child in the back seat — but that’s no excuse. A violent car-theft has the potential to hurt or kill people, after all.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/28/kinderwagen/#worst-timeline

Likewise, the VW execs who decided to nonconsensually track the location of every driver and sell that data to shady brokers — but to deny car owners access to that data unless they paid for a “find my car” subscription — didn’t foresee that their cheap, bumbling subcontractors would refuse the local sheriff’s pleas to locate the car with the kidnapped toddler.

And yet, here we are. Like most (all?) major car makers, Volkswagen has filled its vehicles with surveillance gear, and has a hot side-hustle as a funnel for the data-brokerage industry.

After the masked man jumped out of a stolen BMW and leapt into the VW SUV to steal it, the child’s mother — who had been occupied bringing her other child inside her home — tried to save her two year old, who was still in the back seat. The thief “battered” her and drove off. She called 911.

The local sheriff called Volkswagen and begged them to track the car. VW refused, citing the fact that the mother had not paid for the $150 find-my-car subscription after the free trial period expired. Eventually, VW relented and called back with the location data — but not until after the stolen car had been found and the child had been retrieved.

Now that this idiotic story is in the news, VW is appropriately contrite. An anonymous company spokesman blamed the incident on “a serious breach” of company policy and threw their subcontractor under the (micro)bus, blaming it on them.

This is truly the worst of all worlds: Volkswagen is a company that has internal capacity to build innovative IT systems. Once upon a time, they had the in-house tech talent to build the “cheat device” behind Dieselgate, the means by which they turned millions of diesel vehicles into rolling gas-chambers, emitting lethal quantities of NOX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal

But on the other hand, VW doesn’t have the internal capacity to operate Car-Net, it’s unimaginatively-named, $150/year location surveillance system. That gets subbed out to a contractor who can’t be relied on to locate a literal kidnapped child.

The IT adventures that car companies get up to give farce a bad name. Ferraris have “anti-tampering” kill-switches that immobilize cars if they suspect a third-party mechanic is working on them. When one of these tripped during a child-seat installation in an underground parking garage, the $500k car locked its transmission and refused to unlock it — and the car was so far underground that its cellular modem couldn’t receive the unlock code, permanently stranding it:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/15/expect-the-unexpected/#drm

BMW, meanwhile, is eagerly building out “innovations” like subscription steering-wheel heaters:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/02/big-river/#beemers

Big Car has loaded our rides up with so much surveillance gear that they were able to run scare ads opposing Massachusetts’s Right to Repair ballot initiative, warning Bay Staters that if third parties could access the data in their cars, it would lead to their literal murders:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/03/rip-david-graeber/#rolling-surveillance-platforms

In short: the automotive sector has filled our cars with surveillance gear, but that data is only reliably available to commercial data-brokers and hackers who breach Big Cars’ massive data repositories. Big Car has the IT capacity to fill our cars with cheat devices — but not the capacity to operate an efficient surveillance system to use in real emergencies. Big Car says that giving you control over your car will result in your murder — but when a child’s life is on the line, they can’t give you access to your own car’s location.

This Thu (Mar 2) I’ll be in Brussels for Antitrust, Regulation and the Political Economy, along with a who’s-who of European and US trustbusters. It’s livestreamed, and both in-person and virtual attendance are free. On Fri (Mar 3), I’ll be in Graz for the Elevate Festival.

Do you have a favourite rotary telephone?

Excellent question!

Yes, I have a favorite:

The Northern Electric Pyramid phone from about 1935. I had this on my desk at my old job, tied into the telephone system. Its distinctive ring made it really easy to discern if I was the one being called instead of my coworkers. The chrome dial and the area code indicate that this unit came from Canada.

Coming in second place is my Northern Telecom 500-style set with official Commodore branding -- also from Canada. These were sold with VICMODEMs in a special bundle exclusively in the Canadian market. The VICMODEM requires that you detach the cord from the handset, plug it directly into the modem, then dial for the computer.

Problem is that you can't do that here, because the handset cord is permanently attached! Solution? The little white adapter box called the VIC 1605. Very hard to find, but I found one.

Coming in third place would be the Contempra from Northern Electric/Telecom from 1967 (why do these keep being Canadian?). Beautiful colors, angles. Great phone, but sadly I don't have one. Atleast not one like this... NT made these into lineman's test sets (commonly called butt sets because they hang on a lineman's belt by their butt/you use them to butt-in to a call when testing things).

I bought one and turned it into the NT2017 Rotary Cellphone, a real working 2G cellular telephone. It's got an Adafruit Fona board inside with an Atmel 32U4 microcontroller, a little screen, and zero ability to send/receive text messages. It didn't work very well, but it was really fun to build and use before it broke. Construction was very fragile, and my code running it was hot garbage. Since the discontinuation of 2G cell service, it's just decorative at this point.

The last one of my favorites is one I certainly don't have: a late 19th century Skeleton Telephone from Ericsson. Technically not a rotary phone, but it does have a crank that you rotate!

These are expensive, really hard to find, and obviously rather difficult to use without having an operator to ring up when you turn the crank. However, they are stunningly beautiful, and all of the functionality is on display arranged in such a way to accentuate the elegance of its industrial design.

How about you? Do you have a favorite rotary phone?

god damn I fucking hate ISPs dude

there's an ISP in my line of work that's been peddling "100x100 fiber anywhere in North America" and someone in my company, somehow, fucked around, fell for this scam, and started ordering this for problem sites.

we're now in the finding out phase where it turns out they're just fucking cellular modem resellers like you'd get from those terrible T-Mobile home internet ads??? we've had at least a couple dozen sites all report issues with internet speeds in the 256kbps range making the store non-functional.

their solution if their shitty resold SIM cards don't work? fucking Starlink, baybee. which they still market as fiber service in their sales material lmfao

Luxembourg-based satellite telecom operator OQ Technology is testing investor appetite for space-based Internet of Things (IoT) technology, seeking EUR 30 million in fresh funding as competition intensifies in the nascent market for satellite-enabled device connectivity.

The company, which has deployed 10 satellites since 2019, plans to launch 20 more as larger telecommunications companies and satellite operators begin developing similar IoT services. The Series B funding round follows a EUR 13 million raise in 2022 and aims to strengthen its global 5G IoT network coverage.

OQ Technology has secured initial backing through a convertible loan from the Luxembourg Space Sector Development Fund, a joint initiative between SES S.A. and the Luxembourg government. Previous investors, including Aramco's venture capital arm Wa'ed Ventures and Greece's Phaistos Investment Fund, are participating in the new round.

The startup differentiates itself by focusing on standardized cellular technology for narrowband-IoT, contributing to 3GPP protocols that allow existing cellular chips to connect with satellites. This approach contrasts with proprietary systems offered by competitors, replacing traditional bulky satellite systems with compact, cost-efficient IoT modems that offer plug-and-play functionality.

"The satellite IoT sector is still largely in the proof-of-concept phase," says the company representative. "While there's significant potential, companies face challenges in standardization and convincing industries to adopt these new technologies at scale."

In an effort to secure its supply chain, the company is exploring partnerships in Taiwan's semiconductor industry. It has begun collaborating with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), though these relationships are still in the early stages. The company has shipped initial terminals to prospective Taiwanese clients, marking its first steps in the Asian market.

The global reach for semiconductor partnerships comes as the company expands its geographical footprint, having established subsidiaries in Greece, Saudi Arabia, and Rwanda. Plans for US market entry are underway, though regulatory approvals and spectrum access remain hurdles in some markets.

Current clients include Aramco, Telefonica, and Deutsche Telekom, primarily using the technology for asset tracking and remote monitoring in industries such as energy, logistics, and agriculture. While the company estimates a potential market of 1.5 billion devices that could use satellite IoT connectivity, actual adoption rates remain modest.

"The challenge isn't just technical capability," notes the company representative. "It's about proving the economic case for satellite IoT in specific use cases where terrestrial networks aren't viable but the application can support satellite connectivity costs."

Market dynamics are also shifting. Recent announcements from major tech companies about satellite-to-phone services have sparked interest in space-based connectivity, but may also increase competition for spectrum and market share. Several companies are pursuing similar standards-based approaches, potentially commoditizing the technology.

For OQ Technology, the ability to deploy its planned satellites and convert pilot projects into paying customers will be crucial. While the company's focus on standardized technology may reduce technical risks, successfully scaling the business will require navigating complex regulatory environments and proving the technology's reliability across different use cases.

1st pic with my new iPhone taken more than 24hours after getting it. My new phone experience has mostly been bad. My main motivation for getting an iPhone was wanting a great phone camera and engaging the family hive mind aspect shared by the Apple family. My wife and two of my kids use them. However, at this point, if I could do it over, I’d simply get a high end Samsung.

The good: This pic is a masterpiece compared to what my old phone would produce and being able to track each other and each other’s devices is great. Many of the apps on my android phone ported over and all of those work fine. All the apps I had to manually download work fine as well. The phone’s battery is outstanding so far.

The bad: The cellular modem in our new phones suck!!! Even the WiFi modem is shit compared to my old Samsung A50 and her iPhone 12. I’m probably going to have to upgrade our home WiFi network but that still leaves me no fix for traveling in rural areas with weak cellular coverage. My A50 was a marvel at pulling in a signal. I have 1 bar sitting here at my house! Cellular signal was never a problem here before. I was excited to take advantage of Apple’s MagSafe technology that allows wireless charging combined with magnets that affix your phone to the charger. The idea is brilliant, the implementation is flawed for too many reasons to go into. Also, I’ll never buy a phone at Best Buy again.

Still, this pic was taken in fading light with no physical stabilization and the barn is 4 tenths of a mile away. Just wow.

Good morning, friends! 🌺💮🌼

30 May 2024

We recently had our home phone shut off; I know … we're late to the game. Our phone was ATT U-verse, which is essentially VOIP a phone system that communicates via the internet. But ATT announced that they were shutting down their DSL systems sometime in the near future and encouraged us to switch to ATT air with is a cellular system. They sent me a cellular modem free of charge. I've had a home phone in the house where I lived for nearly three quarters of a century. I can't say I'll miss it though, for the last year or so, it rang throughout the day with nothing but junk calls, telemarketers and what not - quite annoying.

"So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are.'" - Tim Vine

Pseudo-historical project about 1912 unit record equipment computation aka the "Symbolic Analyst Processor" full stack!

(above pictures emulate the looks of what this tech stack documentation and actual use may look like, still very early in the process though)

It is still coming together by my head as I write infodump notes and research various aspects of the whole time, (including the WIMP & MERN/MEAN stack) but yk, things are coming together nicely to give some milestone project mid-way between my current phase in life and the next where I go develop a fully alternative INTJ lively stack of tools. Explanations, history dives, lively reaction studies and a couple more content suggestions related to it are on the way.

Behold, the infodumps

"Top-bottom and back up workflow" 1910 / 1912 Unit Record Equipment Tabulator Computation "Bundle" Project (Pflaumen & Utalics' SymbolicAnalystProcessor)

Back to the point

The list is far from exhaustive or finished, as life is so much more than meets the eye. But this should be a good start to remind myself what I am working towards, a full revamp of the last ~120 years of history with much attention and care put into making it as satisfying to me as possible, despite the very probable scenario where people take the ideas and incorporate only some of such "modules" in their own workflows. Which is fine but not taking the whole package (and only specific modules) is eventually gonna be a major learning experience for me considering the reason I revamp it all beyond control freak stuff is literally to provide less exclusive / less invasive tools that anyone can learn and customize despite being very... idiosyncratic yk.

Still welcoming suggestions and constructive criticism for such big time, I hope those textual infodumps I do every so often don't bother you too much... Cya soon!

What is the use of SMS modem ?

An SMS modem is a device that enables computers and other electronic devices to send and receive SMS messages over a cellular network. It typically connects to a computer via a USB or serial port and utilizes a SIM card to establish a connection with the cellular network. SMS modems are frequently employed in applications where automated or bulk SMS message transmission and reception are required.

Here are some common applications of SMS modems:

Two-factor authentication: SMS modems can be used to send one-time passwords (OTPs) to users for two-factor authentication. This enhances security by requiring both a password and access to the user's phone for login.

Remote monitoring: SMS modems can transmit alerts and notifications from remote devices, such as sensors or alarms. This facilitates monitoring equipment in remote locations or receiving security breach alerts.

Bulk SMS messaging: SMS modems enable sending bulk SMS messages for marketing or notifications. This efficiently reaches a large audience compared to individual messages.

M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication: SMS modems facilitate communication between machines, such as vending machines or ATMs. This enables status updates, command reception, or action triggering.

SMS voting and polling: SMS modems can collect votes or poll responses from a large population. This aids surveys, elections, or other feedback gathering methods.

SMS modems are versatile tools for SMS communication, with diverse applications in telecommunications, security, marketing, and automation.

Beautiful Spouse’s Rewatch Thoughts SPN 08x13 Everybody Hates Hitler

🎶1944🎶

“I don’t get it.” He was late because he was getting fucked by the shoemakers daughter, and the other guy wanted him to get the clap

“Oh” “Those little submachine guns aren’t going to do shit”

Gross 

“Is that his head splitting in half?”

I think so

“That’s a lot of fake fire” “Oh it’s this shithole” “How many seasons since Kripke left?” 3 but he’s still executive producer

“So he signed off on this shit?” Yeah

“God it looks so fake. At least pump some of the money back into the set” “some of the sets are amazing. Some are ok. We’ll never see this again” “That’s some strong ass cowboy coffee. Didn’t even bother straining the grains out” “As if” “Sorry but electronics from that era just didn’t last. Some did but not most” “T.E.P? Who’s that guy? Is that whoever’s room he stole?” “It’s Nandor” laughter

“Who the fuck is T.E.P?” “Is he at a university or something?” Library

“What’s in the book?” “excellent screen shot. New model” “the fuck” “that’s unfortunate” “That 1940s wifi working good” “I mean, he could be on a cellular modem but he’s underground so I doubt it” “what does fkn sketchy mean here?” “What the hell is that goddamn telescope doing there?” laughter

“It’ll be empty or did the book magically reappear?” laughter

“Very federal” laughter

“Uh huh” “the boonies? Is that a place on campus or something?” “is that snow on the ground?” “looks like snow” “They really got to put some better glass on that thing” “I assume that’s not a gay thing” laughter

“Always with the round glasses” “Real deep backstory here /s” laughter

“I mean it could be his own furniture. It’s obviously not” “uh huh” “Is this letting college boy do his thing?” “It’s not a spell? It’s a dart?” Maybe it’s a magical blowdart

“Oh you’re right” laughter

“That’s cool” “Or not” “That’s a really random unit of measurement” “Is this the first time they’ve used plastic red gas cans? Pretty certain it is” laughter

“Warming their hands off the fire. That’s pretty funny” “They should teach the golem about leg day” laughter

Laughter

“HTR - is that short for Hitler?” “Are they going to find one strand of hair or something?” “Is the tool society a union for drag queens? They unionized” “Lot of good that’s going to do. Cover it up” “That’s a neat trick. Probably shouldn’t have smoked that book, eh. You’re fucked now” “how original” “Oh that’s weird” “Did they both shoot at the same time?” “Are we going to sign our name on the thing yet?” “Are the Thule the big bad for the season?” “Those books are out of order. Drives me nuts. It shouldn’t, but it does” “still don’t know what the telescope is doing. Just hanging out with its balance cock out”
