Muskovite builds vehicles with a built in micro-transaction PTW scheme? Hilarious.
Researchers jailbreak Tesla to allow usage of the entire car they purchased. FTFY
Quick question: Couldn’t Tesla’s telemetry servers detect this kind of jailbreaking and, say, remotely disable the device? I’m kind of thinking of Nintendo consoles and their bans on some jailbroken consoles (typically the ones that play pirated games online).
Can’t imagine a bigger “fuck you” to give to the Muskrat… other than when Xtwitter finally implodes.
of course it was the PSP. I’ll say it again and again; secure computing is like adding a back door that you know about. Fuck intel me, fuck amd psp, fuck apple sep, fuck microsoft tpm, and fuck anyone who wants to have control over a device I own.
Google has betrayed Google.
As all corporations eventually do.
Google is eating its children.
