Here is another video from apparently that same series addressing the 'social credit' that is now a widespread thing there. So. Creepy. It really does make me think of Black Mirror!

BBC News has an article previewing the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50952021

The bulk of the new gadgets to be introduced are "Smart Home" items. Including a "smart" shower head. Now, you won't even be safe in your bathroom.

It seems our cars spy on us, too. What does your car know about you? We hacked a Chevy to find out.

I'm really creeped out by this. I drive a 2008 SUV that's in perfect shape, but once it goes, I'll dust off my bicycle and use that.
