bcrypt famously only looks at the first 72 bytes of the input. There are ways around that - don't use bcrypt, or do bcrypt(sha256(password)), or whatever, but it is not the case that "just feed the input to the hash" removes all length restrictions

For anyone unaware, a SOC3 is just a SOC2 with the audit details removed - it includes a high level statement from the company (Apple) and from the auditor (EY), that's it.

Also Apple certainly does invest heavily in security and privacy but SOC2's are so commoditized that it's like saying "look I can afford 50k", it's not particularly interesting

This is addressed in the blog :)

There's still a fuse for the DCM even in this car but:

- It has an internal battery and will keep running for quite a while after pulling the fuse. This is a safety feature in case you get in a crash that disconnects the 12V battery

- It will break your in-car microphone as discussed. Repairing that requires opening up the dash

- That won't do anything for disconnecting the GPS antenna

In a perfect world they wouldn't collect it either, but I'd rather Apple have it than the car manufacturer (or rather, only Apple vs both Apple and the car manufacturer)

When I removed the DCM the in-car microphone stopped working, but I bought one of these to get it working again: https://www.autoharnesshouse.com/store/AHH-DCM77.

Also even with no modem, if you use CarPlay on your phone _via Bluetooth_ then the car will just use your phone's internet connection, so I only use CarPlay via a wired USB connection.

Aside from that the car works great, everything is 100% functional. I suppose I don't get OTA updates, which I'm fine with.
