My 2016 BMW 118d has a navigation system and a built-in SIM card. It is used in multiple instances (the listed ones): locating/locking/unlocking your car remotely (all optional), start an emergency call, updating the firmware and talking to a messaging server
I think what we're seeing here with you & @hocuspocus is: no one knows for sure what happens. We can make educated guesses.
If you were sitting on PII location data and no one knew you had it, you'd probably want to keep it that way. Going public would certainly get the authorities after you.
Portuguese license plates for a long time had the month/year of the car manufacture. This been discontinued because apparently no other country in EU does this and it was confused with expiry date.
There is no other indication on the license plate. just the numbers and letters.
I assume that expiry dates on US plates is related to either road tax or vehicle inspection

Usually yearly registration, though some US states do gate the registration completion on some forms of inspection.
California, for example, requires emissions testing every other year for cars older than a certain age, and won't send the new registration until that's been completed. But most states don't require any kind of regular safety or general road-worthiness inspections. I think that's kinda bonkers, but I haven't really looked at stats around how many car crashes are caused by a failure to maintain a car or its safety features. It's possible that the cost of doing such testing is often deemed too high, when considering the benefit.
What people don't realize about cryptos and the current state (of crypto markets) is that the current downtrend is part of a larger cycle where for a period of time new players come into the ecosystem, launch lots of new projects, and then most of the get wiped out when people realize that the model behind the project isn't viable or just crashes.
First we had the shitcoins wave when everybody and their doge forked bitcoin. Few of them survived
Then came the ICO era.
Now it's NFTs and "not banks" like Celsius and other companies that move token custody from on-chain to a "trust me bro" agreement.
"Do i loose control of my tokens at any point ?" - on this Defi era, this is the most important question to ask before depositing your tokens in a contract
Not to mention the Orwellian proposition: "delete the pic we deemed wrong so we can unban you". Apparently it's hard to just delete the offending pic, it's better to teach you a lesson and make you do it.
The torturer wanted him to say that there were five lights as that would be a signal that Picard was now accepting the torturer's reality. It's based off a concept from Orwell's 1984, where another torturer says that they can make someone believe 2 + 2 = 5.
Also, Asch's “Line Experiment” where people conform against their own perception.
Personally I prefer getting a message "delete this please" instead of some of my messages/pictures/etc. silently disappearing without me noticing. Ideally, they would make the pic not available to other users, but still available to me, and notify me that my account will get banned in $N days. Ideally, during that phase there would be the option to pay some minor amount of money and ask to get a human moderator involved to review your case.

This would just become another revenue stream given enough time and changes of leadership around such a system. Treading a thin line on just how abusive they can be on the review process to extract money, it would be chock full of perverse incentives.
I owned a mzr700 at the time cd/mp3 players started to come to the market. It looked like something from the future when compared with the cd/mp3 players at the time. audio quality was amazing and minidisks always worked, no skipping or disk damages, and longer battery life than the cd/mp3 readers
Google respects robots.txt. Allowing Google scraping is optional. In fact many websites serve more content to google bot than to you before you log in, google bots clip through paywalls
if the code for the web app is available (assuming a license that permits it) there is no need to use an extension to copy a component. you got the source code
if the code is not available, very likely you will not have permission to use it.
Don't see a legal usage of this kind of tool in a commercial context. Pretty useful as a learning too though
1 kwh ranges from 0,15 to 0.16 €
25kwh * 0.16€ = 4€ (100 miles/160km)
My diesel ICE does ~5.5 l/100km (42.8 mpg) and diesel is at around 1.98€/l
8.8 l * 1.98€ = 17.43€
