That’s not how we do things in the US. :-(

Yes another non-answer.

“Americans, why haven’t you built a parallel system that can take on the strongest military in the world yet? It’s been over a year.”

Edit: see what I mean?

“We can’t tackle government lobbying, the lobbyists bribed us not to.”

I don’t know, I installed Mint last year and it’s been great.

A lot of electric power is produced by natural gas locally. And we have assholes hysterically agitating to build data centers. Won’t this be so fun?

Edit: words are hard

Maybe YOU can’t remove the light.

You know that you can leave your phone at home, right?

EDIT: Also, another Defeatist reply.

Unless you’ve got some expensive whiz-bang Harley or BMW.

One side of the tire. I did not have to remove the tires from the rims, and I didn’t have to balance them.

Have you met people? Do you think that battered old Chevy is driven by someone who cares about the TPMS light? They can ignore it as effectively as the check engine light.

It certainly doesn’t require removing the tire from the rim. I removed each wheel, broke the bead on the side that has the valve stem, pried the tire back away from the rim, remove the sensor (mine had a convenient little part you can push to release them) then air the tire back up and put the wheel back on the car. Didn’t even have to re-balance them.

If we want to take steps to protect ourselves from such tracking, we cannot afford to simply say “It’s ToO hArD!!!1!” with a multi-paragraph reply that took more time to type out than it took for me to remove one sensor. Can’t do it? Learn how. Defeatist replies belong on Reddit with all the other propaganda.

1.) Lol, no I won’t. That light can be removed. Or if it’s a Ford, you can access the vehicle with Forscan and turn off that functionality.

2.) How did we ever survive before 2008? Were there disabled cars with shredded tires every 20 feet? Was it an apocalypse of failed tires? People who don’t bother to check tire pressure won’t bother for yet another warning light on their dash.

Why is there good news being shown on my depression screen?

A local city proudly mentioned on the news that they had a system that could track TPMS sensors. Pretty much all cars after 2008 uses TPMS sensors that each broadcast a unique identifier to the car. They aren’t hard to remove, and you can buy valve stems that fit your car (0.452 hole) at any auto parts store.

EDIT: The sheer amount of replies to this post days later that basically state “This is too hard to do, and it won’t work anyway, so you are stupid to try and shouldn’t do it”, all from people who clearly have no real idea how the TPMS system on a car works, have confirmed for me that I was correct in spending a half hour removing these devices.

I miss that on my x4

Interesting. I use Mint. I’m not a Methodist.

My wife on the other hand is a Methodist lay speaker so…

It’s very sad that some people need the threat of immediate personal physical violence to keep them from being controlling Nazi shitheads.
