No engine immobilizer was the ultimate issue. And from what I understand, it was just an issue with models sold in the US, so all this misery was caused by a manufacturer’s cost saving measure.

ETA: To clarify, the cause was a manufacturer’s cost saving measure enabled by the US regulations’ lack of a requirement for engine immobilizers.

Such a helpful employee!

My hypothesis on this is they just don’t want to facilitate moving money out of their bank to another one. Moving money between accounts held by the same bank is usually much easier. The major US banks are for-profit businesses, after all.

Alternative hypothesis - US banks aren’t implementing new features because they’re mostly all still running on ancient IBM mainframes.

Oh? Who’s the new one?

ETA: I got woosh’d, didn’t I? I just came off night shift and it’s not even 8AM. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Go ahead, steal my identity. See if you have any better luck with it.

I keep all my credit reports frozen. These days, everyone should.

My main concern every time these health-sensing toilets come up (it’s a topic on everyone’s mind, ya know?) is how long until they start associating waste with the people it comes from, and then forwarding that info on to entities like insurance companies? I’d be too paranoid to use these in public bathrooms, and if I had one at home I’d be doing the usual IoT best practices - keep it on it’s own network with no internet access.

I’d imagine by wires that just aren’t visible. Even auto flushing toilets need power for the sensors, not that unusual.

Another one? You don’t say.

If I had kids, I’d feel much safer leaving them in the care of drag queens over any clergy.

I mean if you want to be blasé about the fact not everyone has the same technical skills as you, sure…

Unfortunately this method only works if you already know where the toilet is.

My college had a single female ginkgo tree, known sort-of-affectionately as The Poo Tree to most on campus.

Except a law that forces you to do something you have a constitutional right not to do isn’t valid and wouldn’t stand up in court, so still wrongly suspended and you would have had a case either way. But, not much to be done about it now, so probably a moot point anyway.

Just type it up on the White House letterhead and you’re probably good to go.

And such a sizable uplink! We should all be so lucky!

She knew the update would take at least 24 minutes to run and the doors and windows electronics wouldn’t work in the interim. And she still chose to do this in a Chic-fil-A parking lot while out running errands instead of initiating the update at home after she was done using the car.

I bet you can hear the ocean if you press your ear to hers…

If people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really sorry.

He’ll get a promotion by the time his police frat bros are done fucking the system.

Or we could start by getting rid of that fucking police fraternity and raising our quality standards for who gets hired as an officer.

This one?
