But then how are automakers supposed to charge you $5,000 more for something that should really only cost 1/10 that price that you can pick up from Best buy and install yourself?

I think we just need to go back to double-din units so that people can do what they want instead of being locked-in to whatever design the OEM came up with.

The reverse camera law was the first thing I though of when I started reading. I have never used one, but I think the best course of action would be to have that screen be integrated into the rearview mirror that some cars have. A basic LCD display would be all that is needed for a radio. Of course, going back to the…

Except that you can’t get a judge in Texas to overrule a state law in Massachusetts.

So... other commenters have touched on some issues, here:

Two issues with this in the US:

1] reversing cameras are required. Therefore a built-in screen is required.
2] last I looked, lawmakers were in the process of demanding that cars came standard with AM radio.

I mean... I *guess* you could have a built-in screen that handles the camera, the AM radio, and whatever vehicle…

“will introduce potential security risks to our customers”

So now what happens in 5 or 10 years when the car is no longer compatible with the latest version of CarPlay or AndroidAuto, or iOS and Android in general are surpassed by the next thing, and now it’s completely unable?

but it takes the cell phone right out of the hands of the millions of distracted fuckers driving

So...they were in the parking lot instead of the tarmac?

Thank god it was a cat meowing in a 737, because a dog barking in an A320 is par for the course.

Presumably Ryanair have now introduced a “no cat in the avionics bay” charge on all subsequent flights? Did you see the news that Ryanair have said they are willing to be Ukraine’s national air carrier if the war with Russia stops? Hasn’t Ukraine suffered enough?

I think Trump clearly missed a golden opportunity for himself. He could have easily weeded out a lot of waste, if he was seriously concerned, by simply pushing for some kind of spyware on government computers...

In that regard, they are just like every other upper manager putting these office mandates in. Nevertheless, they’re the ones always working remotely, under the cover of “traveling.”
Must be fun. 

Honestly, I wish he would go back to the golf course.  He needs to be lying with a pencil and not a pen again.

Every accusation is a confession

First, it’s always humourous to see people like Trump and Musk, who are famously almost never in an office and constantly on social media, bitching about people working remotely!

And now most of these workers will be fired for 1) being late to clock-in because nowhere to park, 2) not sitting at their assigned desk, one that doesn’t exist because nowhere to sit, and/or 3) they’re Black/Hispanic/Not-hot women/gay/seem gay/have a gay friend.

I’ve been a hybrid employee for years in a town that has parking decks and limited space for employee passes vs resident passes.

Like Cheetolini did for most of his first term. 🙄
