  • Unfortunately its not a third party module but manufacturer built-in features.

    Modern cars are internet-enabled, allowing access to services like navigation, roadside assistance and car apps that drivers can connect to their vehicles to locate them or unlock them remotely. In recent years, automakers, including G.M., Honda, Kia and Hyundai, have started offering optional features in their connected-car apps that rate people’s driving. Some drivers may not realize that, if they turn on these features, the car companies then give information about how they drive to data brokers like LexisNexis.







  • If you keep Bitlocker enabled on that partition you will have to enter the recovery key everytime you boot into your Linux partition. Since you don’t have that key backed up you’ll need to turn it off and then re-enable it if you wish to continue to use Bitlocker.

    If you manually enable bitlocker you will be prompted to back up the key with a few different options: to a file (but if I recall you’ll need to save the file to a drive that isn’t be encrypted by Bitlocker) or to a Microsoft account.

    To answer your question regarding best practice, Full Disk Encryption is best practice. Now to achieve that in Windows you use Bitlocker, Linux there is Luks, and macOS has filevault.

    If your machine isn’t going anywhere outside your home then it’s not as big of a deal if the drive isn’t encrypted.

    Regarding your situation FDE is going to be a bit of a pain whether you use Bitlocker or Luks. I suggest using db2’s suggestion and run a VM creating a shared folder between host and guest. Then you can encrypt the entire drive using the best encryption tool for the host OS (which I suggest be Linux).

    Edit: Replaced the ‘b’ with a space between “db2’s” and “suggestion”


  • If you don’t need/want Bitlocker simply boot into Windows go into the bitlocker settings and turn off bitlocker (dont use suspend as bitlocker will be re-enabled the next time you boot into Windows). You will need to wait for Bitlocker to decrypt before shutting down - there will be a small status window that appears showing the progress and it shouldn’t take too long.
