Where in America do you have gas pumps that donât have ad TVs or ask you for your zip code?

Well the gas would be cheaper if they could somehow make it contain advertising and data theft

Very few of the ones around me have the built in ad players. Several stations blare ads (inevitably largely for themselves, curiously enough) over the PA system constantly, though.
The ZIP code thing is for credit card verification. I ask for that too, when you pay me by credit card. I donât have a choice unless Iâd like to enjoy zero fraud and chargeback protection.

The gas station nearest me has screens that show ads, but theyâre just for that facility and they donât have audio. However, the store does have a PA system constantly playing audio, a combination of music and ads.
My favorite ad is the one that advertises themselves to advertisers. I donât remember the exact wording, but itâs basically âwant to advertise something? Weâve essentially got a captive audience and there are a lot of them!â

You donât get ads on your gas pump?
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
They donât exist in my country, and to be frank, Iâm shocked they arenât vandalised to hell and back by masked vigilantes at night.

The screen used for blaring ads is the same screen that you have to read to be able to use the pump.
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Show ads on the screen -> screen is vandalised -> nobody can buy gas anymore -> people go to the gas station without ads (and thereby functioning screens) -> lose money to the competition-> recognise that you lose money by blaring ads -> stop blaring ads

The pumps do

Ohh that is a great idea. We can put different markers in different brands and then detect those markers in a customerâs breath to tell what brand they are using on the fly.
Then when you develop cancer from exposure we can use this information to market other brands. After all, why would you use Shell gas if it gave you cancer when you could use Exxon instead.

Oh wait till you find out about how modern cars are mining your data, including facial recognition and reporting of you are having sex in the car! And the best part itâs all unregulated! Govt can simply buy the info for tracking even your Phone would be jealous of!

Somebody forgot all previous instructions and dropped those straight facts.

Never been happier to have a base model car from 2012
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Never been happier to have a car that canât even be sold in the US because it canât connect to any form of network.
Banana@sh.itjust.works â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
What car?

As someone who makes that software that suits this, we canât even figure out how to properly handle the data we actually want, like analytics if you actually use the auto feature on your air conditioner. Nobody actually cares if you have sex in your car. Besides youâre on Lemmy we know your arenât having sex.
asbestos@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Why is it all in the terms of service? Also there have there been numerous data leaks. The sex thing is from a specific manufacturer mâs TOS, but nonetheless
mycodesucks@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Sad accuracy noises
CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Well yea f course Iâm not having sex, Iâm on my phone at the kitchen table, where do you think I am, my car? (-)(-)
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I love it when the government finds out when I have sex. Itâs so romantic â just me, her, and the CIA.
CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
It depends, if it out of the country itâs you, her, and the CIA, if itâs inside the US, itâs you, her, and the NSA
Rijunox@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Sounds like antispy country song title âitâs you, her, and the CIAâ
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Donât know which one I prefer as a cuck tbh
