16·2 years agoI don’t care if they are evil or incompetent or both. They’re decimating the federal workforce which will have long term consequences. Some of which will be fatal and not just for Americans.

14·2 years agoLooks like someone is copying the contents of news articles from various sites, but there is no attribution or anything to tell you where it is from. Searching for the title I found the Time article they copied.

I would treat them with suspicion though. Not sure if they would start sneaking some other stuff in there in a few weeks or months.

The right to repair. It’s going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.
A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.
