It is very common. Actually, I don’t think I’ve heard it as anything else. It’s still weird to me hahaha

Very true. I added context before you commented. I’m not putting you down for it. It’s the term that makes most sense. It’s just weird. Not wrong or dumb or stupid or anything else insulting. It’s just a weird term to use, even though it’s the one that makes most sense. I honestly meant no disrespect or offense. I actually like USA and its people (I mean, there are crazies everywhere, but they don’t define the rest of you). I genuinely apologize if I offended you. Seriously, mate, I meant no offense at all.

What shoes are those? Those are dope

To name a few:

Calling yourself Americans, after the entire dual continent. There are two continents and many other countries in the Americas, you know… [I know you know. And, what are you supposed to call yourselves, ‘USAians’? ‘Americans’ makes more sense and is easier to roll off the tongue. But it’s weird.]

Holding the door open for me. Smiling at me on the street. Those are sure signs of a swindler, but it’s the norm in the USA. [I am not suggesting USA folks are swindlers, only that those actions are what swindlers in much of the world use. USA people are generally super nice and a genuine pleasure to be around.]

Turning right on red light. Red means stop. It’s weird and confusing.

Edit: I added a third thing.

No need to apologize, mate. Your comment was super helpful.

Without the <>.

No ether needed. All you need is to do this publically.

I don’t see a problem here…

Ha! As far as theories go, this one will remain just a theory hahaha

Because making calls and using a computer requires a specific lacale…

What’s bucket budgeting?

Edit: [sigh] all I needed to do was search the term… sorry everyone

I agree. This was a shot to the past, when sites thought that people gave a crap about CSS magic, when, in reality, all we wanted was a usable site and not an art exhibit. This site seriously eroded my interest is buying the product at this time. If they can’t get this simple, basic thing right, what’s wrong with the actual product; what are they hiding behind the CSS art?

Super cool concept. But I will never own another Huawei.

If they’re still connected (exitnode mesh or otherwise) and the target domain is no longer maintained by auto manufacturer, then someone else can grab the domain, register it, and the cars will try to connect. Maybe I misunderstood your meaning, but saying a mesh is slow or inaccessible is inaccurate. The whole internet is one giant mesh, and it works fine.

The cellular variant they’re talking about and the mesh variant don’t provide you internet access, they provides them access to your car and driving data, and you can’t control that. It doesn’t really give you any benefits.

Edit: and, also, cars shouldn’t be internet connected. Nothing will change my mind on that.

Just visited the Viture website, and it is abysmal. Product looks cool though.

Edit: its endless scrolling reminds me of those websites about some “totally effective protection against RF radiation” that’s nothing more than a concrete block with a blinking LED.

Apple doesn’t have AI in their products. No. No. AI is lame, over hyped, and consistent under delivers, not even going to mention the ecological impact. They have Apple Intelligence, which… look, I know how it sounds, but Apple promises that it’s not AI.

I think it does use cellular. But theoretically, it could use a mesh network of all applicable cars that hops back to some entrance nodes into the manufacturer’s network or cheap exit nodes to the broader internet.

Edit, autocorrect

Maybe don’t award your security to the lowest bidder…

This doesn’t seem like it’s anything that affected users’ cyber safety. It was a graffiti attack on the landing page, which was vulnerable to these attacks (because it seemed to have been overlooked during patching operations). Politics aside (because the messages were allegedly horrific, and hate pisses me off), this is basically spray painting a giant phallic object on the side of the building. Disgusting, should be severely reprimanded, but ultimately harmless.

Or did I misunderstand?
