Super cool concept. But I will never own another Huawei.

If they're still connected (exitnode mesh or otherwise) and the target domain is no longer maintained by auto manufacturer, then someone else can grab the domain, register it, and the cars will try to connect. Maybe I misunderstood your meaning, but saying a mesh is slow or inaccessible is inaccurate. The whole internet is one giant mesh, and it works fine.

Depending on the job itself, this actually makes sense for legacy support. My job requires "passable experience with Windows 98SE, XP, and 2000", but the network-facing computers are all 10 and 11.

The cellular variant they're talking about and the mesh variant don't provide you internet access, they provides them access to your car and driving data, and you can't control that. It doesn't really give you any benefits.

Edit: and, also, cars shouldn't be internet connected. Nothing will change my mind on that.

Just visited the Viture website, and it is abysmal. Product looks cool though.

Edit: its endless scrolling reminds me of those websites about some "totally effective protection against RF radiation" that's nothing more than a concrete block with a blinking LED.

Apple doesn't have AI in their products. No. No. AI is lame, over hyped, and consistent under delivers, not even going to mention the ecological impact. They have Apple Intelligence, which... look, I know how it sounds, but Apple promises that it's not AI.

I think it does use cellular. But theoretically, it could use a mesh network of all applicable cars that hops back to some entrance nodes into the manufacturer's network or cheap exit nodes to the broader internet.

Edit, autocorrect

Maybe don't award your security to the lowest bidder...

Wow... I completely forgot about their existence until today. They've been low quality pseudonews for about a decade now, and I have written them off as irrelevant.

I'm not suggesting it be bypassed, but you should know their current blocks are local browser cookie based...

This doesn't seem like it's anything that affected users' cyber safety. It was a graffiti attack on the landing page, which was vulnerable to these attacks (because it seemed to have been overlooked during patching operations). Politics aside (because the messages were allegedly horrific, and hate pisses me off), this is basically spray painting a giant phallic object on the side of the building. Disgusting, should be severely reprimanded, but ultimately harmless.

Or did I misunderstand?
