To be honest, we’re dealing with corpos here, so a fully FOSS car is just a dream. But to be honest, if the software is not connected to any network in any way and doesn’t control stuff that could kill me in case of a bug or whatnot, AND I have the right to flash whatever I want on there and tinker with it (since it doesn’t control vital driving features, that should not be a problem), I can live with it. Only under these three conditions though.
Yes, but many times you can somehow rip the thing out of there. It’s super difficult but I know like two people that managed (don’t know which models, but they were new cars). I imagine in an electric car, the main head unit is probably more connected to the actual inner workings of the vehicle, making it impossible to just replace it, along with any of the electronics it’s connected to.
I hate modern electric cars not because they don’t have a gas guzzling engine, but because of the fact they’re “modern” (proprietary software connected to the cellular network).
But of course, Trump only said this because all of his supporters drive gas guzzling behemoths of steel to compensate for something. And, of course, telling someone to rot in hell just because of a type of vehicle they like makes him seem like an incredibly mentally stable person…
Interesting. Memories from my Christian school are coming back :'(
Jesus fucking a prostitute. I’m interested. Never read the bible so I don’t know about it, but I’m curious.
Huh. It’s almost as if Microsoft just wants more money from people buying a new computer with their new OS. No one could see that coming.
I mean, sounds exactly like the Windows installer to me
Why the hell do billionaires keep laughing in our faces? I swear every time one of them or their companies opens their mouth, it’s like they’re making fun of us, the poor people.
