IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE
- passwords should be random
- data should be backed up
- anonymity should be the default
- dishwashers don’t need wifi
- the drivetrain should be airgapped from the Internet

The real horror story hasn’t happened yet: it’s every car in the world of a certain make suddenly suddenly failing to run — or losing its brakes, or spontaneously catching fire — because of a bad over-the-air update.

@inthehands @vfig Also, there are things like the ability of OnStar to remotely bring your vehicle to a halt.

@inthehands @vfig And basically every GM salesperson will tell you that registering with OnStar is a requirement of purchase when it's not.

Ah, I missed that one! At least they were only bricked and nothing worse…

@inthehands @vfig there was a land rover (or jeep?) bricking update a while ago IIRC?
