I didn’t mean to imply that it was intentional. I think you are right in that it was probably cheaper and perhaps even easier to wire the systems together. It is a shame.

Not just cars can be hit by this; one security researcher claims he can do more or less the same thing to airliners.

I read the recent National Geographic longform article on the studies about the effects on these guys who are exposed to low-medium sized blasts on a recurring basis and it made me really sad:

As it is, this would be absolutely terrible for the low-cost developing country markets.

Fully 40 percent of online users have experienced bullying, harassment and intimidation, according to Pew Research. Some 70 percent of users between age 18 and 24 say they’ve been the target of harassers.

I’ve been following this project for a few years, and I also work in land development, primarily in cost analysis. $1.3 Billion is probably a low estimate.

Didn’t you know that everyone in the US has broadband with enough bandwidth/speed to easily download and install their OS now?? Oh, wait.

Is AppleCare still sold in a box?

You’re not rambling at all. You pose a good question. For me, the only thing that changes my reaction is the nature of my relationship with the threatener. If it’s a complete stranger I will never meet, it doesn’t bother me at all. If I personally know the person, I’d probably be scared and hurt emotionally.

Beautiful old GDR joke:
