The post is the same, but the discussions are different in each community. I get help and useful information from different communities, and if I didn't post across multiple communities, I wouldn't have been able to put this list together.

Do you want me to remove my post? Do you want me to stop posting similar things? Then I wouldn't be able to update the list. Or should I stop posting in local communities so it won't bother you?

Also, which products on the list are "privacy snake oil"?

Needs suggestions for modern vehicles that doesn’t come with ads or telemetry built in.

It is so difficult to find modern electronics without telemetry and ads. Smartphones, laptops, TVs, home routers, security cameras, cars, game consoles, e-readers, projectors, 3D printers, fitness trackers, speakers, and even some printers. Why can’t customers be free from this data collection and advertising? It’s not that we don’t care about it. There simply aren’t many alternatives, and the few that do exist are either more expensive or offer fewer features. Seriously, we need a list of products we can buy and use directly without worrying about telemetry or advertising.

• E-ink devices: CrossPoint Reader Devices

Are there any other choices for E-ink products that have no ads or telemetry? Please drop some link to the existing product.
