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
Here, I did the thing
@inthehands if every warning sign is a story... whats the story behind "the drivetrain should be airgapped"?
@vfig
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.
