That’s July question: the article even points that out. If previously the private key was in hardware, never exposed, but now it has to be available to software. Does it open any potential attacks?

Even if it is less secure, this is probably a good thing to prevent vendor lock-in. I know that’s one reason I rarely use passkeys

Gas pumps are something you’re doing “right now”, so you ought to remember. Vs a charging cable s something you plugged in last night and left that way. Much easier to forget.

You’re very unlikely to change drivers at a gas pump so you probably won’t forget. Vs a charging cable is something your spouse may or may not have plugged in last night, and they’re not necessarily there to remember.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a gas pump with trigger lock. You have to be actively involved with pumping gas, holding it the whole time, so unlikely to forget

Not at a stop light, nor as a way to immobilize you. While they can steal your catalytic converter surprisingly quickly, they’ll look for a minute or two of quiet time to slide under your car.

Seatbelts are legally mandated. When that was going through, some people argued against that requirement on the grounds that there edge cases where it dies more harm than good.

Just like the case here, those edge cases are vanishingly rare.

Note: my car won’t move without a seatbelt, but it’s an EV so furthers the argument that EVs are taking control from the driver.

Yeah, I’m sure the asshole thought he was being funny ….

I’d put it somewhere north of harassment since they physically restricted her, but less than the direct threat that some people think

This is where you carry a window spike and smash and grab. Why make it so much more complicated?

How would they open the charge port door? I can still imagine it because I have a good imagination but it’s just not going to happen.

Is someone really going to go through the trouble of carrying a cut off cable and a piece of electronics to open the charge port, and have time to walk up to the car click to open, wait for the door to open and insert the cable? There are faster and easier ways to immobilize a car, why would anyone make it so complicated?

And that assumes that safety feature is still engaged when you’re already driving

This is the seatbelt argument all over again. The safety features protect people in the majority of scenarios. While there may be scenarios where it does more harm than good, they are rare. You’re much safer with the safety feature.

Let’s not go too far overboard. These guys are assholes who deserve some consequences. However the article didn’t include anything that looked like attempted rape, nothing violent, no direct threat of harm (indirect, maybe). Let’s try to be proportional here

Yeah, I definitely worry how much I spoiled my kids, how that they’re college age and heading out into the world. We were never wealthy, nor spend ostentatiously, but I do earn quite a bit over average and they’re used to getting essentially anything they want.

Sure, there are some states that let you mag dump through your front door if someone rings the doorbell

It seems like Waymo would have a profit interest to pursue this type of issue vigorously.

Pshh, you need a good driver with a gun, then I’m sure everything will be resolved peacefully

Russia is spending its future, both economically and demographically, and can’t avoid the consequences. But will those consequences hit them in time to help Ukraine?

Even if they are able to grind down Ukraine, can they really be hoping the Ukrainian economy will help Russia rebuild, after its bombed to hell and back?

Unfortunately that’s the same threshold I’ve read for the US. Right now we’re way overproducing at the cost of the environment but I suppose it holds prices lower than otherwise. However US oil is generally more expensive processes, especially fracking, and supposedly not profitable when oil is under $60/bbl

It’s unfortunate that Ukraine can’t afford to take a little time to let Russians surrender peacefully. I expect they’d get a lot more

There’s probably not mucb overlap between those conscripted and those who read and write Western languages.

… or maybe, do they have access to the internet? Sure, educated people do, Muscovites do, but what about people who have been conscripted from?

As an American who just wants things organized clearly, I find it annoying too

Le français était à un moment donné, hein

Your reply may have come between my original wording and an edit that I thought was “quick enough”
