I had signed up for classes. The university decided to use token 2 auth, so they need your phone number. They need a personal contact in case something goes wrong. They need your address for sending non existent mail to. I tried one of their classes, and their anti cheat system involves having an indian guy looking at you by camera whilst you take the test, and locking your machine. Had to end up using a virtual machine so i could at least ensure their software didn't end up installing a bunch of crap. And people just accept this shit, its so frustrating

I just changed car insurance companies about a month ago.

Yesterday I got a letter in the mail telling me that my husband and I need to download this app that monitors our driving to keep our rate.

I was never told anything about this when we got the insurance. To say I'm pissed is an understatement. Going to call to find out what my "real rate" is now. Wtf.

the safepilot app, you get a 15% discount if you sell your data, and we can relentlessly spy on you. I wouldnt be surprised if the app sends you spoof messages just to make sure you dont pick up your phone, ironically causing an increase in accidents to those who arent used to it

Well if it's only 15% that's not too terrible. I'm so tired of all the dishonest behavior everywhere.

i used an app with a device for 3 months to help get my rates reduced. app was put on a phone that no longer gets used and i have 2 cars. I managed to get the max % discount, im not about to put their app on a device i actually use its rather intrusive.

So did you occasionally take it in the car on those phones? Or never did so it reduced the rates?
