I wasn’t aware that odysse was originally a crypto video sharing platform, I thought it operated more like YouTube.

Hey mate, It’s not exactly a crypto video sharing platform, but it does incorporate crypto in how it operates. Odysee isn’t the blockchain itself, it’s a website frontend for the blockchain, which has previously always been the LBRY network. How it works is that you would receive small amounts of LBC (LBRY coins) for watching some content. You can than use the earned currency to upload videos and articles onto the platform, and it can be boosted by other peoples channel donations to support individual content creators, which are optionally either more LBC or using traditional fiat currency if you so choose. I know it’s very easy to upload stuff because I have my own channel, you practically aren’t even paying for it since you can upload a video for as little at 0.0001 LBC. My understanding is that they’re moving away from LBRY and towards Arweave, though I’ve not looked at the FAQ yet (linked below). If you check their channel, they posted more a lot of info at the same time as this video. The Odysee community has been waiting for details on an announced update for a few weeks.

You’re right honestly. I’m sorry. I’m tired and being unintentionally annoying, so I should just delete my comments. My point is technically true, but it was just unnecessary to bring up.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but this video style is only meant to discuss the issue, not simply tell people exactly what’s happening and end it at that. But I see your point, and I’ve noted it: I’ll make sure I share more quick and to-the-point video’s when I do in the future.

I know how helpful GPS is. Also, I am not paranoid, and you shouldn’t be making those kinds of assumptions about anyone you don’t know. I simply want to minimize private data being open for abuse and am exploring what can and can’t be done, and their benefits and disadvantages. This after all, is the privacy community you’re talking in; where you share advice and knowledge about enhancing ones privacy, not telling them they are paranoid for pursuing it.

So you’re saying that other electronics used within the car (ones that aren’t damaged by the lack of antenna) may be able to detect the lack of antenna as a “fault” and thus hinder their own functionality? Also, by “antenna”, are you referring to the one used for the radio? Like an Aerial? So my understanding is that giving the antenna connection a “dummy load” is a way of removing the antenna, and stopping the sending of data, without damaging or hindering any other electronics/components of the car.

If it doesn’t have a full-time connection, it’s still possible to have an eSim, right?

This is the first I’ve heard of a dummy load. What exactly would be the purpose of replacing the antenna with a dummy load?

Thanks, I didn’t know the eSims weren’t physical cards.

Btw, 3G network is shutting down extremely soon for both Optus and Telstra (and providers using their networks), so I won’t be able to do that with any future car. Telstra is going on August 31, Optus is going in September. Your phone probably isn’t locked to 3G, but even if your phone supports 4G and/or 5G but does not support a technology called “VoLTE”, you may not be able to call emergency services after the 3G closure date. Both Telstra and Optus have provided an option to easily check if your phone is compatible after the closure. Using either Optus, Telstra, or other providers using their network, you can text 3 to the number 3498 and they will send you an automated message telling you whether your phone will be affected after the closure or not.

I’m too poor for that 😂
