Is this an EV? I assume such a feature would be quite dangerous for an ICE vehicle.

Doing it intelligently through an automatic OTA update that waits for the user to be in a difficult scenario would be much smarter. Bonus points for adding a time-based kill switch so this feature gets pushed out months in advance, just to

So you exclusively buy pre-2000's shitboxes? Is there a reason for that, when you could literally just rip the modem out of a modern car instead? If you're driving such old cars, I have to assume you're mechanically inclined.

Yeah exactly this. FWIW while cars are essentially backdoored nowadays with all the cellular/OTA updates BS you can still disable it. I suspect this won't be an option in the near future, the way things are going. I can't wai

So you'll be buying mid 2010's cars for the rest of your life?

Safer than the car that shuts off in the middle of the highway due to a software update?

Flagging exists for a reason, chap. I'll leave it up to a vote of the greater user base to decide whether a comment fits the context or not. Feel free to moralize elsewhere, preferably straight into /dev/null

This, and especially when the intermediaries attempt to police what you can and can't purchase with your own money when you wish to purchase a fully legal good/service (see: Visa and Mastercard fiasco)

But they did, there's even people in this thread saying the FSF/GNU is too strict with their requirements and is akin to the "old man yelling at cloud". What else are they supposed to do then? Start Luigi'ing people

So you think the 'prime time' for American democracy was not in the past, nor the present, but will eventually happen in the future? Or are you claiming that it died a long, long, time ago, and now is when we really need it, but i

But if there was no government, or no appreciable power held by the government in that scenario, then the guy would presumably just come after you himself. Even in your example, the reason why he's filing this false report is because i

And what is the difference between a 'state' and a 'corporation'? What happens when a corporation has more power, influence, control, and private security than a country? This reminds me of discussing things with liberta

So the rule of law is when the government fears the private corporations? I mean, that sure sounds like what we have now, but it hasn't exactly proven itself to be a great thing for society.
