Fascinating article, didn't know skip lagging was a thing or that it is illegal. It definitely shouldn't be, just seems to be government protecting entrenched corporate interests at the cost of the populace. aka par for the course.
- whelp_24 3y agoSkip lagging isn't illegal, iirc a recent court case reaffirmed that. Airlines don't like it though so they may cancel you.
- logifail 3y agoSo if you buy a Tesla and the T&Cs prohibit you from hacking it/modding it, then you decide to hack away at it anyway, what happens if Tesla were to brick the online features of your vehicle and/or completely cancel you as a customer?
- mrguyorama 3y agoIn america the current legal standard is that you go and get fucked. You do not have a right to something you have purchased anymore as long as the seller puts enough magic fine print together.
- whelp_24 3y agoI mean the whole point is that Telsa should not be able to brick the car you purchased because you changed something in your car. Why does a car come with conditions? Granted I may not be in the demographic for a telsa, i wouldn't ever want my car connected to the internet.
- logifail 3y ago> Fascinating article, didn't know skip lagging was a thing or that it is illegal It's not illegal, but it is against the airline's T&Cs ... which you have to agree to when you purchase a ticket.
