Daily Reminder: if you own a car you use and financially support proprietary software
>>55403805
in the usa, there are 100% open source cars.
>tfw the botnet wants me to die in a car crash
>>55403805
I do what now
>>55403805
Good. I want to have a job until I'm retired therefore I support proprietary software whenever I can and so should everyone else.
I have a bike, it doesnt run any propietary software or firmware
.
>his car isnt mechanical diesel
If you use the Internet you support proprietary software.
The most advanced thing in my car is a 1997 fuel injector that uses a 8bit microchip for sampling
No sofrware in this baby. It's all mechanical and easy to work on.

Yes, you need the utmost security for the anime music or phone conversation that is blasting out of your car stereo.
I drive an 82 austin mini mayfair.
Metallic silver, original sealed beam headlights, 997cc engine. The radio has a medium wave button and is the most advanced piece of electronic gear in the car.
It's my baby.

Ew.

Yea, nah. Driving an old car as a daily driver is mental. Old cars were pieces of garbage from the factory, never mind after 20+ years on the road.

This has everything to do with styling and it isn't even common.
>>55409288
>This has everything to do with styling and it isn't even common.
You know fuck-all, it's not a trend, it's directly related to needing massive pillars and high belt-lines tp meet safety standards.

more things to go wrong

cars are inherently unsafe
>This has everything to do with styling and it isn't even common.
it's very common, and it's because the nhtsa wants cars to have built in roll cages
this heap of shit is more reliable than any new abomination being produced right now
>>55408161
You know not all old cars were made by Americans, there are imports and they are just fine.
>>55409305
>You know fuck-all
Nah, I know way more than you, you dumb ass nigga.
> it's directly related to needing massive pillars
They're not massive and absolutely should not cause visibility issues. No car I currently own from the last 20 years, including a MY2016, have any issue.
>high belt-lines tp meet safety standards.
See above.
It's only an actual issue on cars that do it for style, like the 5th and 6th generation Camaro.
Anyway, you're just going to bitch about safety equipment because you're an idiot, not because you have a point to make about how they're genuinely bad things.
>>55409362
>Jeep
>reliable
No. If you believe that, it's not a surprise that you don't understand new cars.
Daily reminder that even a car from 1996 is still usable in the road
>>55409382
the newer ones are, because chrysler can't into cars anymore
>>55407580
Have fun repairing your proprietary computer system on your own when it breaks down
>>55409365
>They're not massive and absolutely should not cause visibility issues.
Backup cameras are becoming a necessity because windows are awful. Literally none of the recent cars I've driven (last 5 years) have rear visibility that's even comparable to vehicles from just 15 years ago.
>>55409430
>implying it's hard to activate solenoids at certain times
>>55403805
>use and financially support proprietary software
That's perfectly fine
Because I want developers who work on the software that I use to actually be paid
>>55404688
Pay attention to the driving, like the software tells you to do and you won't :v)
>>55409404
Jeep has never been good or reliable.

>Backup cameras are becoming a necessity because windows are awful.
No, they're becoming common because they're a good idea.
> Literally none of the recent cars I've driven (last 5 years) have rear visibility that's even comparable to vehicles from just 15 years ago.
I don't know what cars you are driving, then. The only ones I've had problems with poor visibility on are notorious for it, or it has always been a problem (supercars).

Is that why most Jeeps I've seen get over 300K miles before they finally die?
>>55410947
most cars can get to 300k easily with normal maintnenance, it's just that they either get crashed or scrapped way before that
>>55407719
Because men have vastly higher testosterone levels to women. In the womb, male babies have twice as much testosterone as females. As adults, men have 8 to 13 times as much testosterone as females.
Testosterone has a number of effects, among them being that it makes you more aggressive, and more likely to take risks, which I guess explains why men like things like powerful cars.

>>55404641
>It's all mechanical
Well that's not true, you've got electronic lights for one thing.
Also what about an ECU (or is it only cars that have them)? And an electronic ignition / starter motor? (my dad's bike has a starter motor but I guess older bikes don't)
>>55409895
The parts are cheap as fuck because they're garbage. The designs are weak as fuck on everything Jeep has ever made.
>>55410947
Sure, after heavy repair Jeeptards always forget about.

His motorcycle probably has a Cdi box
Is there any software/website for good info to flash an empty ECU with code for heavy equipment? I'm looking for kobalco excavators in particular. Just thought I would ask a question here since the thread is kinda related, been very fruitless with searches. Saw some chinese and indians sell already flashed ECUs with serial numbers you provide them, so there has to be some way to do it.
>>55407610
No of course especially when everyone will know about your time when you come back and totally will not get robbed your home or use any of your informations for profit (carding or even just sell it).
>>55408144
I like it. Would crawl out through the fallout with/10
