Hmmm.....she is not wrong. Get a car no newer than 2012, ditch the new tv's. Cellphones are spying on you and killing you.
I am not seeing an issue here. She is finally getting redpilled into territory you are not comfortable with it would seem.

I assume you are saying that cars up to 2012 did not have the vulnerability now on board every car which allows external takeover through a master computer system — thus all the inexplicable crashes by high visibility people with no attempt at braking, right? Do you know whether a 2012 Volvo C70 T5 would be secure from this?
I am going off memory. It was standardized in the US all cars received in 2012 with respect to satellite comms. As someone else pointed out it actually goes back to 2004 with respect to sat comms on board and how they communicate with the computer. But in 2012 I believe fed mandate was to allow two way communication with on board computer and outside sources. No US sold vehicle would be safe from this. But it was never really discussed in the public eye as far as I know.

When I got my new laptop my wife asked if she could see it. When she brought it back there was a piece of tape over the camera. I thought that was funny and the question became one of phones with the GPS, the microphone, front/rear cameras, etc. She is having a hard time with the tracking while offline and so forth.

You need to check it all out anyhow. She's got the right perspective being new to the realization. You have become desensitized because you have known about it long enough
