How is your car tracking your data?
Every second you're behind the wheel, your car is tracking your speed, location, how hard you brake, how fast you take corners. Over a year, that adds up to 25 gigabytes of data. General Motors got caught selling driver behavior data to insurance brokers. Shocker, customers watched their premiums climb. Had no idea their own car ratted them out. Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai have all been flagged for the same thing. So how'd they get permission? That 40-page infotainment agreement you tapped except without reading. Here's your move. Go to your car's infotainment system right now. Look for settings, then privacy or connected services.
What data are car manufacturers selling to insurance companies?
Toggle off everything you don't actively need. It won't stop all of it, but it stops enough. I started a free AI newsletter. You should try it out. Go to splashofai.com, splashofai.com. Next up, a call for my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy. Hey, you know that glow that you see on people just seem to radiate health. It's not just great lighting, it's what's happening inside their body. And as one of the best kept secrets to looking and feeling amazing is in fact collagen.

But the good news is that you can support your body naturally.

And some studies also suggest that collagen supplements may help support bone health. You see, it's not about turning back time. It's about feeling your best at any age. And right now, as a Kim Commando listener, you can get Natapath Collagen for just a fraction of the retail price.

Individual results may vary. Debbie in San Antonio, Texas. Welcome aboard, Debbie. What's happening? Hey, thank you so much for taking my call. Yeah, no, I'm going to be going on a trip to Australia here soon, and I am really concerned about about jackjuicing and protecting myself with the latest and greatest tech as far as the data blockers, the power packs, RFIDs. So why Australia? Well, my brother lives there, and I'm going to see him and escorting my mom back from Australia. She's 83. Oh, how fabulous. One sibling has taken her there, and the other one, and I get to... come back with her so I could just spend some time there with my other brother and yeah it's gonna be awesome I know that you're worried about the technical aspect of being in danger in Australia but what you need to worry about is magpies there are birds I'm really worried about the airline flights there are birds in Australia that protect where they live by intentionally going after people's eyes oh my gosh and I'm not kidding
Also Huntsman spider. There's a rule in Australia. If the Huntsman spider spider is smaller than your head, you let it be anything bigger. You have to trap and release. I wanted to go to Australia so bad. There are like 312 things that'll kill you on a daily basis in that country. I don't even know how they have a population. They also have jellyfish too. Everything. Oh yeah. All right, go ahead. Back to your question. I have a great time over there, but I'm just, uh, Yeah, no, I just, you know, I've heard a lot about that jack juicing and I'm just like, okay. Well, here's, let's talk a little bit about that. I mean, first of all, you can buy a little device. It's called the Portapow. I know that people make these names up.
Don't look at me like, did you just say Portapow? Yes, I did. Not a Portapotty. No, no. And you want not just the first or second gen, you want the third gen. Sure, number three. And it's like 10 bucks on Amazon.
