I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I'm 33.

A modern high-end BMW can have over a hundred separate ECUs (microcontrollers). All communicating over multiple CAN and FlexRay networks. The complexity is mind boggling, just so you can have subscription based seat heating and other nonsense.

No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer. If you try to access/reprogram one of these chips (as you should be able as you OWN the damn thing), the microcontroller has OTP (one time programmable) memory that ensures the device can physically brick itself should you try.

I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.

I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.

If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

Yes, exactly! We are just going to see more of this as time passes and I hate it. Idk what I can to about it other than buy cars that do less of this. Not that my one purchase every other decade really matters.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Well, we could nationalize car production.

Meh. I doubt most people buy a new car every 2 years. Nor that most people buy multiple of them. And "it's just me doing it" is a good thing to leave out. Possibly most people think that, even if perhaps not in this specific case.

[–] knight_alva@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Valid. I just lack general faith in the practice of voting with your wallet. My default assumption is that it takes an unreasonable amount of persistence and coordination, and that the majority of people either don’t know or don’t care about whatever issue is being considered.

You can stop buying cars and rennt them instead. The electronic clusterfuck spaghetti is not your problem anymore. You still get all your data harvested and sold to the highest bidder though.

Bmw is dogshit but even when they had 7 computers they were so amazingly ass backwards they had to have chassis diag specialists for each of their higher end models.
