like fucking clockwork. “we didn’t program our trains to brick themselves when repaired by third parties, and also we’re going to sue these hackers for disabling that code we didn’t write” I’m really hoping this transparent shit gets laughed out of court if they try to sue (and that the corresponding countersuit is damaging as fuck to their inflated bottom line)

It should really escalate to the European Court and end up in the loophole used by the train manufacturer to be destroyed or at least amended. This violates Right to Own, and would make everyone's life better if it weren't something you could be sued for.
