Seriously, "now" ?
These types of vans exist for a decade at least. Maybe not this specific model from that specific manufacturer, but I don't think that's the point here.
Yes, your government is spying on you. While hiding from you some of its most serious and worrying internals. Don't we just love how we are the people and in charge? lol.
The difference was almost entirely to FORCIBLY OBSOLETE a ton of perfectly serviceable machines merely because they came with TPM 1.2 or less from the manufacturer, or they had a CPU "not quite new enough," because OEMs were screaming "we need to force people to trash computers and spend money buying new hardware from us."
OEMs started salivating at Apple's "3 year old hardware? Fuck you, throw it in the trash and buy something new" sales model and demanded MS start doing the same thing.
If someone like MachineShedFred is getting a forced reboot in the middle of the day, it's because he's the Dumb Fucking Retard who's been pushing "delay" on the machine over and over and "sleeping" the machine during the mandatory reboot times rather than save his work and pick a sensible moment, and now he's run past the mandatory delay allowance. He's known this reboot was coming, he just chose to IGNORE it and be a whiny little bitch about it.
Most IT departments have no idea how to set up automatic updating properly so that it still gets the job done, but doesn't piss off the users that you can't really piss off...
Most Dumb Fucking Retard Users like MachineShedFred imagine that they are above the requirements that IT have been ordered to apply to everyone, or that they've found some magical "workaround" to the system. I have no sympathy for his bullshittery.
It's a strange fight. The robots sometimes seem unaware of where their opponent is, facing the wrong direction or throwing kicks and punches in the air.
Not strange if you've ever played a fighting game against someone not into computer games. They learn quickly that by just mashing buttons randomly they can often get a win without actually learning anything about the game. Same principle.
I have to wonder if the geniuses who started these services ever consulted cab companies and drivers before the fact to have a better understanding of what they were taking on.
Of course they didn't. The name of the game is "disrupting an industry". Because on paper and in investor pitches, everything is straightforward, simple, and was practically waiting for them.
That reality is more messy, has more edge cases, doesn't always follow your process, is something you don't tell the investors and don't consider in your service until you've had the chance to cash out.
It's almost as if having humans around can sometimes have advantages.
But I'm sure this'll just be seen to add one more robot to the robot taxi. A humanoid co-pilot bot?
Nixon and Reagan were LITERALLY shit-eating Treason Fucking Traitors to the USA.
Nixon went behind Johnson's back to end peace negotiations in Vietnam, getting tens of thousands of our troops killed so he could win an election, including my uncle. He should have been put in front of a firing squad and shot dead for the TREASON he committed.
Reagan did worse, going behind Carter's back, telling the Iranians to keep holding CIVILIAN HOSTAGES in exchange for a weapons deal. Reagan was a shit-eating Klan Fucking White Supremacist Bitch Traitor to the USA.
No member of the GOP can ever be trusted. They are ALL America-hating Treasonous White-Supremacist Scumass Bitch CRIMINAL TRASH.
It was when TreasonBitch Nixon betrayed our country going behind the POTUS's back to torpedo peace negotiations and caused tens of thousands of our troops to die in an ongoing, unnecessary war.
It was when Crossburning Treason Trash Shitbag Reagan went behind the POTUS's back to make his Devil's Deal with Iran to keep the hostages in return for a weapons payout later. And when Shitass TreasonCunt Reagan tried to give Nixon's hatchetman a seat on the Supreme Court and helped Oliver North stay out of jail for the TREASON of the Iran-Contra Affair.
The lesson is that ALL MEMBERS OF THE GOP, ALL RETARDICANS, ARE SHITASS GARBAGE TRAITORS TO THE USA.
