Do you actually blow up test bridges or do you just practice placing the explosives?

No don’t you see, putin knew the Nordics were going to join NATO and that’s why he invaded Ukraine! 4d chess! Now he has proof and was right to invade!
/s just in case.
There’s a portion that only hate Elon and not Tesla, but there’s a lot of Tesla hate out there as well, and there has been since even before Elon publicly went off the deepend.
Some of that might be decisions that Elon made for Tesla, but it’s still at Tesla.
Edit: but I will take your point and say my use of majority in my OP wasn’t correct as the majority here is about Elon.
Also, we hear about the buys and sells after the fact, not immediately.
So there’s a lag on decisions that may be impactful
The car will still work if you take the radio out or put a faraday cage around it, maybe that’ll become a thing in the future, but that might fuck with the paid charging infrastructure for EVs. Doesn’t impact gas.
You should watch - Leave the World Behind
You might be right, but I don’t think it’ll be because their cars are the easiest to hack, it’ll be because they have the most cars out there capable of doing this and it’d be more impactful attack if successful.
(edit: Also they’d be able to exert the most control on their cars with the software/sensors available today at scale. E.g they could more easily have the car drive around until it finds a pedestrian to hit)
(edit: Further, you can make the most changes to a Tesla as they have one of the more (or probably most) advanced OTA update capabilities)
They are definitely a prime target.
It’s not that simple though.
Steam doesn’t suffer a piracy problem because what they offer and the cost they offer it at outweighs the DRM, and there are certain things you can’t do on the pirated copy because of the DRM (online play / friends / social stuff)
If suddenly valve decided not to do any DRM and the games could be freely copied, played online and use their friend services, of course they’d have a piracy problem. Of course I’d share a copy to all my friends, who would all do the same. (edit: and at that point it’s not even piracy anymore, it’s just sharing with friends because you aren’t circumventing anything)
Valve has found a sweet spot in this regard, but the DRM is important to their success, but we don’t have ownership. We can also solve the ownership problem now in the future or at small/medium scale now…
I know the majority of you hate Tesla, but security is something they do take more seriously. They even take part in pwn2own to help find vulnerabilities.
All auto manufacturers should be taking part in that.
Nothing like winning a car to get people to try and break into it publicly.
Edit: Also details on the 2025 event in January just recently announced. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/9/23/announcing-pwn2own-automotive-for-2025
Oh, well that’s a great warning. Glad they put that there.
And ya I already use signal.
Not that I DMd people, but I don’t think I knew that, so that’s good to know.
But also don’t mistake a not for profit as not being able to do something to aquire money to help pay for itself or the salaries of it’s people. They could absolutely be looking for ways to monetize this to a certain extent. A not for profit is not a charity.
There are privacy options to opt in to this, but it’s not on by default.
Assuming you can trust the options anyway.
Edit: I do think it will share the video in the event of an accident or vehicle break in though even when not opted in.
I worked at a company that handled sensitive data and we always had to pay special attention to logs in code reviews to make sure someone wasn’t inadvertently logging something that could potentially be private.
What makes you so sure that the person hosting your instance isn’t monetizing it or trying to find a way to monetize it in the background?
Maybe they’re selling all these posts and DMs to OpenAI?
The pop up is slightly delayed as well, and I think its very intentional so you turn it on and then start doing an action and select something, only to select the update.
So the problem being they’re probably holding their breath which keeps the c02 in which causes the panic and fighting.
They do seem to be the best of the implementations, but I really don’t see how we can just move past it. You can’t stop regular digital items from being copied and distributed for free, it’s simply not possible. Making digital items that couldn’t be duplicated was exactly what Bitcoin originally solved. It wasn’t possible until 2009.
At least with tokenization you own access to that game now if it was done right, and steam knows you didn’t pirate it and they got paid for it. Just because it’s tokenized doesn’t mean they did it right though. You could still do it and make it as terrible as existing DRM.
Edit: And what steam does is provide an easy to access and SAFE game. We could make safe games as well by providing cryptographic proofs for the game. They just can’t make something like that freely available without being paid somehow. And then of course someone could alter the game to remove the DRM and host it again, but now you’re into the is it safe area again, because it won’t be cryptographically signed as valid.
You can have everything steam has and still have a tokenized license that gives you ownership.
We can own digital things as long as they let us properly download them. If you pay for a mp3 and have the actual mp3 file that you can do whatever you want with it, I’d say you own that.
They don’t let us download everything though because digital things can just be copied and freely distributed, so there’s often DRM.
Imagine if steam sold games and you got a full no drm copy of the game that didn’t require any hacks to make playable, no concern about viruses from shady distributions etc. People buy steam games because it’s easy, they have great sales making games cheaper, its safe, and they have all the other things like steam friends, chat etc.
But if steam just gave everyone a digital copy with no DRM that you could verify was safe and steam compatible, their sales would drop and more people would pirate.
So its a balance between DRM which steam is, and actual ownership.
By having something digital that represents digital ownership that cant be duplicated, you can solve the problem.
Steam could just publicly host the game for download but it only runs if you own the license. The license can’t be take away from you and is freely transferable.
For games, the problem is still online games. I’m not sure that’s ownable unless they also let you host your own servers and its bundled in the game. But for offline games it’s possible.
Oh wow I didn’t actually know he was bipolar (checked to confirm it is the case). I knew he was on the autism spectrum.
I can’t imagine those 2 play nice together.
