    I don’t recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.

    While I don’t think it’s likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.













  • It’s going to vary based on the usage amount. Popular apps are going to be charged a lot.

    From Reddit’s blog about the change:

    Effective July 1, 2023, the rate for third-party apps that require higher usage limits is $0.24 per 1K API calls.

    Apollo’s developer stated in May 2023, Apollo made 7 billion requests, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year.
