This is disgusting.

It would have been easier to just remove these restrictions for everyone.

Yep, also basically stole from the UK taxpayer by convincing Oxford University to not open source their publicly funded vaccine and instead sell the rights to AstraZenica.

All sorts of countries could have produced this vaccine themselves until Bill Gates got involved.

Gates was always a dirtbag.

He is one of the main reasons proprietary software is so prevalent and predatory nowadays.

Oh, not the "we fund you" narrative again. 🙄

The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.

No, I was talking about software issues.

And if you know that both non-self-driving cars and self-driving cars are both equally prone to mechanical issues, why bring it up as a counterpoint?

Self-driving cars are no less prone to mechanical failures.

I don't know about your city, but I trust technology a lot more than the average driver.

I don't. Technology can be subject to glitches, bugs, hacking, deciding to plow right through pedestrians (hello Tesla!), etc.

While the case can be made that human drivers are worse at reaction time and paying attention, at least a "dumb" car can't be hacked, won't be driven off the road due to a bug, won't try to knock people over itself without stopping, etc.

A human, when they catch these things happening, can correct them (even if it is caused by them). But if a computer develops a fatal fault like that, or is hijacked, it cannot.

EDIT: It seems like this community is full of AI techbro yes-men. Any criticism or critical analysis of their ideas seems to be met with downvotes, but I've yet to get a reply justifying how what I said is wrong.

In a before-first-unlock state they absolutely are bruteforcing, since the filesystem is encrypted. The exploits are for bypassing the retry limit in that case.

And the manufacturers don't have your encryption keys. They're unique.

Use a long password and you'll be immune from their before first unlock brute force.

Passcodes are trivial to break.

Should have the right to know what happening to their children. Schools shouldn't be hiding anything from the parents.

I hate to break it to you, but if a child tells the school before they tell their own damn parents, there's a reason for that.
