My OBD-II connector has CAN-C (500kbit) and CAN-B (50kbit) - I use CAN-B primarily because I can control windows, doors, etc + get the speed & rpm.

I have my phone set to silence Unknown callers. What did you have setup on the Pixel before to block them?

Scams have gotten better since AI. Most of the common spelling mistakes are gone.

I was looking through some phishing e-mails the other day out of curiosity and found a weird unicode character mistranslated. Immediately knew it was an artifact of bad translation. So they're not perfect, but they're damn good.

There's ways that prevent it - - Freeze all code after an update through permissions - Don't make most directories writeable - Don't allow file uploads, or limit file uploads to media
