On the one hand, I understand that production stopping can sometimes cost millions of dollars a day in lost market. On the other hand, if six weeks makes you go under, maybe next time you should think about actually securing your network or having a little bit more solvency.

Or they were already having problems and this is a good way to placate shareholders. I’m betting it’s that.

Wouldn’t need negotiations if they just left.

If russia doesn’t like its misdeeds pointed out, maybe it shouldn’t do them.

So they should do it.

Why would I believe a Russian propaganda site about country they invaded and are at active war with?

Man that shit looks planted. He could fit what, a kilo of C4 in there? So the plan would be to go somewhere and martyr himself?

Jesus the Russian public is gullible.

Ah yes, the Shaggy defense.

People fuck with two ton rolling death machines every day. What are mechanics? What are car enthusiasts? You just have accepted that you can’t touch the computer because they told you you can’t. That’s stupid.

I agree we should legislate it! But in the US, that isn’t going to happen, and the EU also doesn’t seem to quite have enough teeth yet to do it.

And buddy, we play Russian roulette all the goddamn time. The people that modify their cars start off not knowing shit. Why would the computer in said car be any diferent?

That mentality is how we got here in the first place. A person should have a right to understand and repair/modify everything happening in devices they own. Because they don’t, we get stuck in the shitty situation where Elon Musk can unlock any Tesla he pleases and I can’t refuse to send my data to him. Or any other car manufacturer. Or tractor manufacturer. Or IoT manufacturer.

You are correct! I misread that. 😑

I love how they just casually mention that he signed a thing to also leave the UN. Misread. I still wanna get off this wild ride, Mr. Bones.
