They phone home over cell. Usually 4g LTE with relatively high gain antennas. You wont jam it with that.

These things are smarter / dumber than that. They talk directly to the engine and transmission with canbus to record operating conditions. And they have a dedicated GPS antenna. Then they generate a live report from that data that is sent over a dedicated cell connection.

Talking nonsense to it or driving in circles wont fool it. I recommend physical sabotage that mimics installation failure.

That's definitely going to change in this political climate. There will be states where the head of the unemployment insurance will just stop paying at Trump's direction and ignore court orders. MMW

I program tattling programs for non-logistical industry. It does let us know if people mistreat equipment or even break speed limits. But what pays the bills is predictive maintenance or responding to reactive maintenance needs more quickly. We can reduce scheduled maintenance for longer and prevent failed parts from causing too much damage.

Sure it's a different industry but generally employees are expensive to hire and even more expensive to lose. Losing a job because of a number in an algorithm that decides to tattle is rare unless that employee is a total piece of shit that we were looking to sack for other reasons. Usually its a "Dude samsara told us you blew the speed limit in this town and we're going to get fined out the wazoo and you'll lose your DOT license. Dont do it again". If they do stupid shit again and get caught by the police, they might lose their DOT status for some number of months and be unemployable until it is restored. So really it is a safeguard to prevent that from happening in the first place and helps them KEEP their jobs longer.

Those Solera devices you've got are relatively common automotive IoT fleet trackers. They usually have gps antennas. They talk to the engine and transmission directly over canbus. Then they process that data and report what they see over a cell network. If they see nothing, they report that too with a heartbeat signal and various error codes.

Depending on the model, they sometimes have external cell antennas connected with a mini coaxial cable. Find it and unscrew it all the way, then re-screw it in by only 1 and a half rotations so it'll hang on but barely. Then clip the nearest ziptie so the cable wobbles free. It'll cause the nut on the coax to get a stress fracture in under a year. They will have to replace the gps/cell antenna module and those are like $300 a piece through Samsora. In the meantime you'll get iffy signal responses. Don't let them catch you cutting the zip tie on camera or you WILL lose your job.

Your truck will be in the maintenance shop relatively frequently at the request of whoever reads the reports for repair of that cell module. They won't find anything wrong with it, scratch their butts, then just screw it back down and replace the ziptie.

Unscrew it and clip it again.

Yeah "You've got stage 4 cancer. You won't make it through 4 more years." is probably the only way to get those old bluedog democrats to gtfo of office.

Oh I misread your comment as "1tb in one day?"

It'll act like nuclear fission in a reactor. Once a critical point is reached where a few satellites collide, their debris will spread and cause cascading collisions with other satellites. Some of that debris will quickly fall out of orbit but it may take hundreds of years for the rest to deorbit.

No that plan said monthly data amount. So 1tb/mo is 1kusd

The problem is the old fart democrats and a few DINOs combine to make it so there just isnt enough of a voting block to actually make anything happen. It sucks right now but the whole point of congress is to require a majority consensus in order to pass legislation. Frankly the fact is it was structurally designed to be slow because the founders of the constitution were tired of King George and now we're bearing witness to what happens when we need it to respond.

I mourn for humanity.

The only person I knew who really ate the Ayn Rand onion has fully gone off the rails. Last I spoke with him, he said the nurses kicked him out of the hospital where his wife was giving birth and was threatened with arrest if he returned. Also he voted for Trump. I'm still not sure how he reconciled that thought process.

That was a worthwhile watch. Thanks.

This is all extrapolated from google's self published survey of how their users interact with their search results. Approximately 60% of users don't click anything after a search. Personally I think that is because users have found their results to be seo garbage and not worth clicking on... but that's just my opinion.

I do feel a dom/sub relationship with Linux right now as I try to build some flatpaks - so that is very fitting.

I dont want to crawl under a car. Puncturing the radiator is a way to quickly immobilize a vehicle in a way that requires substantial repair. All of these "sugar in th gas tank!" "unscrew their tire stems!" ideas sound fun but they take time and thus make them fantasies. I want something quick and obvious that succeeds.

So break their fucking radiators.

Yeah that's why I think radiator damage is the way to go. They will most likely get stuck on the freeway which is a royal fucking pain.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more calls to puncture the radiator. That would lead to the engine shutting off and being immobilized pretty quickly.
