You have the right take. That was a scary read, because I could see how that manipulation was so powerful. There was a recent article in the WaPo about this happening to someone who had been a govt scientist. It's very tempting to say

Wyze cheapo wifi cameras work so well. Of course it's a risk there, this is not the first time it's happening. What are the easy to use ip cameras, esp that I can power over POE? I want a cheap one too. I don't see how wyze c

But a Tesla model 3 and cover the camera in the car. That's only used if you are foolish enough to pay and use FSD which almost no one does buy it now. 1.5 hours each way is 3 hours of driving, at 70 miles an hour that is 210 miles, ad

They way they handle that (almost everyone does it this way now) is don't make very many of the low end model, maybe none at the start, then get the cost down and later make them. Suppress demand. GM didn't make enough bolts. Tesl

Tesla and Rivian both have excellent UIs. Mostly GM & Ford don't have great ones. I don't have exp with the latest ones from them. VW software has struggled to an embarrassing degree, seems to be better lately? Porsche is in t

Oracle is that awful practices company. Their software audits are a notorious issue, and a good reason to never ever use software from them.

This is a great recollection. I was in high school in the early 80s, and I took engineering drafting because I wanted to be an engineer. It was all manual drawing lines, lettering, figuring out where to center your thing on the paper, no co

I think it's good to separate the drivetrain from the infotainment in these discussions. Hacking the infotainment is a world of difference in a tesla where you have basically software impacting driving a lot; the tesla doesn't del

You can just turn off the breaker for the modem, why don't people just do that? Yes, you can remove the thing, but you can experiment today by doing that first step. There are tesla hackers, like this person https://twitter.

You can just turn off via breaker the lte modem inside a tesla. Original ones had a 3g modem, they were replaced eventually with an lte one. Spying is under your control at least overall. The insidious thing is there are so many useful thin

That was really interesting, using so much more energy (16x) than usual. They've really tuned their power delivery to deliver good range so we don't constantly race around. And a tesla still has that great instant torque even with

And you help the farmer by preventing them from fixing their own vehicles and equipment? Somehow we seem to be talking from different worlds. If you are worried about people losing potential to use their equipment at an important time, then

Are they exempt? At least one state, I believe it was Mass has a law on the book allowing work. Of course we need independent repairs (and training to do it properly) on EVs. There are a few repair garages for Teslas that seem to be people

Those kinds of requirements are extremely anti-consumer. If farmers get benefit from that, then they will do it, pay you for it even. But making them do things is terrible. It’s just a way to control and get more money. It will take years b

connected is fine, gps is fine, but that is all separate from not letting you work on your own equipment.

Because then they can’t control you and extract more money. John Deere is the worst.

If I can’t drive to work, I won’t be paid, i’ll lose all my income. Thus, somehow the car company should prevent me from repairing my car, working with any independent qualified garage?

It's not surprising that they don't want to make it confusing and useless for their viewers as anyone sees all the time, but it's possible to describe it in a way that most people can understand, like the person I replied to.

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard this detail in the mass media sites I read about it. HackerNews as usual has a succinct summary, why can't normal media be this clear? I think it's because most journalists are missing an engin

Modern software for cars is like that for phones. You are not in control of it, you can't roll back, you can't usually pick a particular software version to install. In a decently designed modern car, you have a drivetrain compute
