Perfect opportunity for someone to deploy some spray paint.

Sounds like an improvement to me.

Easy check, grab a voltmeter and do it yourself.
Pull the plug, set voltmeter to AC, and read the voltage across the prongs. If you get anything over the usual float voltage you get from just holding the probes ungrounded, then you have a problem.

I mean, yeah? You give anything a connection to a global network with billions of people, and there will always be a chance for it to be exploited. Hell, even my personal OpenVPN instance for remotely accessing my home servers has to fend off attacks.

This is why my next vehicle will be a slate truck. Zero internet connectivity by default, and updates can be done via USB-C from a phone (which can be vetted as needed).

You tried the usual tools, found they were insufficient, and subsequently made a workaround for your needs. That last bit alone is more enough. Most people stop at “It didn’t work” and give up saying computers are too hard.

I always say, if your problem looks like a nail and can be held like one, don’t force yourself to use a frozen chicken breast. Grab the hammer.

That’s just bureaucracy in general. Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, until it receives an after action report, signed in triplicate, two months after that knowledge stopped being useful.

Uh-huh. Sure.
I’ll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.

There’s the upcoming Slate trucks, but those are scheduled for Q4 2026. And… also probably going to be US exclusive for a bit. Oof.

Good point. Reverse gravity slingshot it is then.

It’s more unusual than anything. TPM2 and Secure boot are requirements I would expect from a security compliance checklist and software handling at least somewhat valuable data, like maybe a password vault.

A steam game is the last place I would expect this.

Nonono, give him nothing but McDonald’s. His heart’s already on the way out, we shouldn’t delay his upcoming meeting with the grim reaper.

I wonder if we’ll ever get enough standardization across EVs so people can start doing the electric equivalent of an LS swap.
I could see this being done on a Slate truck, along with an auxiliary EV battery bolted in the back.

They keep mentioning this “Trendy Arugula”, but I don’t see how salad preferences justify any of the shit they’re pulling.

Whip up some GLONASS jammers and point them at their jets. See how they like it.

Dang, nothing near where I live.

Huh, and I thought that was only for the os activation, but no. ESU support is right there, under the TSForge activation method.

Well, you heard the judge. Get ready to start cranking out a crapton of anti-trump AI videos. Make sure he’s extra incoherent and dementia-riddled.

…It’s a constitutional violation so blatant it makes you wonder if Bailey got his law degree from a cereal box.

Absolutely savage. I love it.

Imma hop on resonite and get wasted with friends.

“We’d love to comply, but the funding cuts from your administration have regrettably forced us to shut down the security systems needed to perform such identification. Turns out weatherproof cameras and 100 TB+ storage arrays for footage aren’t cheap.”
