Looking at their site, doesn’t seem like that’s the case. Again, I agree with the Fuck Spotify sentiment. But there are still inaccurate points being made.
It will let you shuffle anything for free, but not let you play what you want, when you want.

I’m confused. I read the whole post. You also said podcasts aren’t exempt from ads and the features aren’t exciting to use. I don’t personally listen to podcasts. The service is still useful for streaming and downloading music. And what exciting features are there supposed to be?
I’m just confused at calling Spotify a “Worthless” subscription. While I admit that pirating or buying CDs is a preference for some, neither of those are as convenient as streaming.
As for shilling Apple Music, I said it’s what I personally use after mentioning both Tidal and Deezer and services that pride themselves on it, which my provided article supports. I just personally use it because I like the UI and iPhone integrations. None of what I said was an attack against the original post, just confused at the description of its features that weren’t factual.
While Spotify is the last service I would choose anymore for my music provider, it only lets you skip songs? Definitely not true. Like any major music service, it lets you build a library, listen to unabridged albums, make playlists, etc. Not sure where this point is coming from.
Music streaming from a provider that prides themselves on artist support like Deezer or Tidal also have all these features. Music streaming is one of the few services I struggle to imagine not paying for.
I personally use Apple Music since they actually pay relatively decent per stream and obviously integrates well.
Not ideal, but you could make the partition small so it only holds a few minutes of footage so all they get is footage from what happens during an accident or during a stop. I did some searching and it seems the only approach to “secure footage” is through 3rd-party apps which… you know…
Not on this one. The SD card is quick to access right on the side of the unit and isn’t encrypted. I never use the WiFi features, but since the supercap only has a few seconds of battery life and you’ll be a moving target for the WiFi signal, I can’t imagine there’d be too many people clever enough to steal things off it.
You could easily pop out the SD card every time you left the car.
This might not be the intention of the question, but DASHCAM. If you don’t already have one, get one.
There’s so many good reasons to have one. DON’T get the cheapest $30 one you can find on eBay. It’s a safety device, so go with one that has video reviews and has been around for at least a few years.
Make sure it mentions using a super capacitor instead of a traditional battery. Batteries will swell and quickly lose life and even potentially kill the camera in the heat.
Get something at least 2K resolution to be able to read license plates at a reasonable distance and test it regularly. I’ve had a previous camera show that all that good and recording only to discover half the footage was being corrupted.
If your car allows for it, get one that has a built-in rear camera loop for rear-end accidents as well.
Here’s the brand I’ve been using for a couple years and have had excellent results: https://www.viofo.com/
It’s referred to as social engineering and is a completely different skillset to hacking.
