My Chevy Volt has OnStar. It took a lot of Googling to find out where the module was located (under the dash, just to the left of and above the brake pedal). I removed the larger module, unscrewed the OnStar daughterboard, and put everything back together. Radio, Bluetooth, WiFi and SiriusXM work fine. But it can't call home. Every GM car for years has OnStar. EXCEPT cop cars. My 2012 Chevy Caprice doesn't have OnStar. Can't have the cops being tracked like the rest of us Plebes. My wife's Acadia was too hard to access the module. So I just unplugged the OnStar cellular antenna connection. Everything else works fine.

There is a PWSafe Disk-on-Key version, which is basically a portable app. Doesn't install or use the Windows registry. https://www.pwsafe.org/dok.sht... I use this across my devices, but have the password file saved on a ProtonDrive folder, so I can access it from anywhere. Prior to this, it lived on a Google Drive folder. But the file is encrypted so Google couldn't do anything with it even if they wanted.

The sham surgeries aren't done by fraudulent physicians. There have been studies done for knee pain, where patients are randomly selected for traditional arthroscopy versus a sham surgery, where arthroscopy style skin incisions are created, and then sewn shut. When the patient awakens, they don't know if they had actual surgery or not. This is the study's design, and all patients in the study agree to the randomization process. This is quite different that a surgeon "pretending" to do surgery to bill patient. That, of course, would be fraudulent, unethical, and illegal.
