Forget the PC being open....why in the hell did the “night crew” have even physical access to a computer that could affect the production server?!?

The Tuesday (holiday weekend) after Hurricane Katrina I saw lines wrapped around every gas station charging a then absurd $4.199. I pulled right into the empty gas station charging $4.209.

I was 11 at that time. I remember riding with my dad past the gas station with a long line and my dad saying “look at all these people freaking out....oh, there’s your mother.”

What law are you referring to?

Convict them of what?  It's not illegal to fail to apply server patches.

Yup, they get bonuses, buyout contracts and golden parachutes.  And that’s when they fail miserably.  If they happen to succeed, they get paid 100 times what the best worker in their corporation makes for nothing but talking shit and looking believable while they do it.

That would be a big surprise to all the cars/lawn equipment I store over winter.

You want to stop these ransomware attacks so the pipelines keep flowing? Easy. Pass laws where if there’s loose cybersecurity and ransomware is successful, convict the company’s management for not following the law. That’ll wake up the companies if the execs, not the minion who double-clicked on the ransomware email…

Even fake gas shortages suck. I remember getting gas on September 12, 2001, and having to wait in a long line because every idiot in town had decided there was going to be no gas and was filling every container they had with it. I saw one guy painstakingly filling dozens of Mason jars after he’d filled several gas…

Jalopnik slideshows--less reliable than an unreliable car.

The problem seems to be constrained to Gigabyte X570 motherboards, nothing to worry about in this particular case if you’re on another board.

Ah yes, the old “I had it worse, therefore your problems are insignificant” approach. Classy.

Almost as if safety tech shouldn’t be permanently attached to a wear item. What’s next, ABS controls in the brake pads?

Indeed. It depends on where you live, and on your “boiled frog” tolerance for a windshield that isn’t cracked or badly chipped but has slowly degraded due to micro-pitting, in ways that only bother you when the sun is just right.

In fairness to the Volvo, Fifth Gear removed the powertrain prior to the crash test. Since most cars tend to have their engine and transmission in them during a real crash with passengers and such, it was not the most accurate test/demonstration, given how much was missing from the front end. To that end, many…

Huh...I was today years old when I learned this. Kind of a sucky law, though.

Yeah honestly, I don’t even understand why people keep inquiring to these. You can always forget anything that Torch or Tracy suggest since their nonsensical suggestions are never a viable option and the rest is SUVs and 1 actually good suggestion if you are lucky and there is a full moon in the house of Aquarius…

for sure. that came to mind. all those old fools that talk about the big steel American cars . they just do not understand the physics behind crumple zones. not even mentioning that old cars did not have seat belts.

“Throwing money at their problems” is the definition of the last 40 years of Formula 1. That is how you win, period.

“harvested customer info” is a dramatic way of saying “remembered the name of a device that the device owner willingly linked to the vehicle”
