So when it crashes the logs it will show the error as being "id10t "

Next issue is how long will it be supported ?
7 years after last manufacture, so 8 years total if each year is a new model ?
Add onto that all the wanky LED lighting systems for brakes, indicators, etc... how long before that exact shape etc will become unavailable ?

The car industry will be loving the 8 year life span then "no can fix" period.
This will lead into the batteries for EVs, each model having a different shape , or needing a specific car computer to work with, so no retrofitting batteries from one car to another to keep it going.
Then there will be the need for "Approved parts" installed only by "approved agents", so you can not do any repairs yourself
There goes over a century of do-it-yourself experience. Going to hate it when the Tyre industry has a chip in it that stops you car from running because you tyres have reached their maximum number of KMs, and they can not be rotated....

So just like google then.

It's all about triggering neural chemistry, fight or flight (fight being prevalent because of the inherent feeling of being "safe" behind the screen), pleasure, risk and reward, etc

These companies know 100% what they are doing, how addictive it is and how profitable it is.
This is also why they REALLY want access to kids, nothing to do with free speech, they KNOW a developing brain is easier to addict and much much much harder to treat for the addiction. They are building products for life (if it's free, you are the product being sold).
Now it's also about feeding the AI for even more "what ever" it is meant to do for us.....AI slop gets boring every quickly.
When I quit X, I gained over an hour a day just wasted on all the fight or flight BS that was feed to me

When I killed adverts on other social media platforms , made my profile more private, "blocked" every account with a "follow" or other types of engagement posts , even the ones seemingly part of a friends account, I found my Facebook dropped to around 1-2 minutes a day. I maybe post something 1-2 times a month.
I read actual books, teaching myself how to use a metal lathe and other hobbies, socialise more, and way less stressed and sleep better.

Class action can start right at the beginning, stop buying.

Your wallet is the most powerful thing you own.
Just look at Canada and its choice not to travel to the USA, its cost tourism in the USA BILLIONS and that will only rise. Likewise the loss of alcohol sales into Canada and there will be many more companies suffering the same "Vote with the wallet".

I am a Kiwi, and I voted with my wallet the day Trump was elected, I buy stuff elsewhere avoiding US brands, freedom of speech at its finest.

I would mod you up of I had points.

Whether we like it or not, whether we use Windows or not, Microsoft is going to insist on adding the tax whether the PC comes shipped with Windows or not. This is illegal bundling, Microsoft has essentially ignored prior rulings, and it's pretty much a certainty the courts will be fine with this.

Be a lot of surplus hardware available at that stage too at bargain basement prices.
Servers, switches, UPS, rack systems, just think of all the recovered RAM , SSDs, and Hard drives that can get reused.
Probably enough there to cause a major slump in various markets

Though by this time the AI overlords have probably set themselves up as in control and they will start recycling people....

Its a NZ comedian doing outlining all the Koch brothers funding of various libertarian organisations, people, etc She talks about a lot of other subjects, people, etc Dangerously Informed with Evie A place to learn about what’s shaping the world in a genuinely entertaining way. The link I shared : "Charles and his brother David are some of the wealthiest people alive. Worth over 70 billion dollars and 50 billion dollars respectively. But just money, by itself, was never the destination. It was simply a tool. A means of building something much bigger than a business. Because if you genuinely believed, as Charles Koch did, that America was drifting in the wrong direction, buying a few politicians every election cycle was never going to be enough. Charles Koch wanted something more permanent. He wanted to build an entire system that could outlast all of them. And this is where the story of America's dark money empire really begins." As I say, she is informative, entertaining, and this one talks about th Koch brothers and their Dark Money manipulating politicians , funding "Think Tanks" etc.

go watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

or fund anyone who beat Trumps minion in a 'rigged" election... there will be evidence planted....

Millar is tied to the koch brothers

The My Pillow Guy...?

Trump..no, Trump has no idea what is going on. Trump is just a useful idiot. Koch Brothers and other billionaires Ala project 2025, absolutely, they are in control.

The chance of a major screw up is overwhelming .... who knows they may "accidentally" hack US companies.... not being restricted by all those pesky laws US law enforcement has to obey.
