You might be surprised how little people actually regard the owner's political opinion of the miltibillion dollar corporation from which they just bought a quarter-million dollar car. I wouldn't even be surprised if a significant

Seems from this article to have been a pretty standard operation, despite the unusually large scale. The biggest thing I picked up on was their practice that they mentioned of sampling traffic and analyzing it asynchronously, to avoid laten

Heh, I guess screw them and shut it down anyway - at least that seems to be the policy in my IT department :)

Those are some sad stories. It's a crazy world out there, with lots of people trying to take advantage of their fellow humans.

Searching for meaning for these things is a trap. It can be a harmless hobby, but for many people it becomes something more and can tear them apart (e.g. inducing anxiety or obsession with it). Many (but not necessarily all) people who sell

I imagine this story was worth orders of magnitude more to the news network than the ticket would be worth to the man... I'm sure they could make it worth his while :)

I agree that it seems a little bit over-dramatic, but seeing as an employee said it was a "shit show" (quoting from the article), there must be something going on over there. I can imagine that once the realization set in that Mus

I believe I may have seen it in a shortcut editor somewhere, but I suppose I could be misremembering or that could have been a one-off implementation.

I was worried about the headless setup, but apparently you can create a user in the official imager tool. I guess I'll go make a fork of the OS that keeps the default credentials. No way am I getting locked out of some stupid robot or
