I mean, it's been 15+ years since smartphones hit the market as a regular device, so those people where only in their mid/late 60's when that transition happened. And there are solutions in place for both digital access without smartphone and physical only access. I'm not sure I see how that is hostile to elderly or people that can't/won't use a smartphone or insist on physical access. Obviously physical access is going to be a hassle, that's why it's not the default anymore.

For banking and other official business, they have to go physically. If their bank has no physical department near them well then it sucks to be them. For digital mail you can apply for exemption and you will get physical letters.

You can order a digital code generator so you don't need the app if you still want 2FA for digital handling. But I don't want to have to carry that with me it would be a significant inconvenience for me.

It's a must for me. My phone is my primary day-to-day computer, so I need to be able to so everything from that. Unfortunately that is also why I'm not using graphene OS, because our government 2FA system doesn't work in graphene OS (even with play services installed) so it's impossible to do anything. I can't check anything WRT banking, schools, taxes, daycare, doctors appointments, hospital record or change anything that requires the involvement of city hall, including checking digital mail from the municipality or government. It's basically not possible to function in our society without it.

That's no different than if you had central locking and a douche nearby (but significantly further away than keyless access and start) to intercept it as you lock/unlock it. Risk of this actually happening to you is so slim, it's not an issue in real life.

The functionality was great, it's the physical durability that was complete shit.

They broke all the time and you had to wiggle them often because of shoddy connectivity.

MicroUSB is absolutely one of the worst connectors ever designed, perhaps only surpassed by the SCART connector.

Aah, so it actually has absolutely nothing to do with keyless access and driving like most seem to complain about.

So what was the exploit then? They could get in to the car without the key?

Keyless start is fucking awesome though, just get in the car and drive. I wouldn't even consider a car without after having one with it. Pretty much all other manufacturers have this in a safe way that doesn't make the cars easier to steal. Its not the keyless start that's the issue, its how they implemented it.

I mean, many new cars don't even have an old school key ignition at all.
