This. SO many devices, especially networking stuff. It seems like they should just do their thing after plugging in and setting a few settings. "It's so EZ!" says the box.
Nope, "scan this code to get this app, make an account, agree to all the things, register for spam..."
It's disgusting.
The only upside to this state of things is that it keeps alive my fantasies of one day being a Watchdogs-style techno-sorcerer that can wirelessly hack anything that runs on electrons and a WiFi signal.
... Although the nightmare is that people far more evil can probably already do that.
and if it bugs all you can do is wait for the devs to fix it for you.

Ah I was gonna say Boromir. :p
Sounds like an absolute ghoul. :p
Rome fiddled while Tesla burned. :)
Thank god, ol' smarty Musky built a tunnel with no safety features for all those Teslas.
You. Could. Not. Pay me...To get into that stupid friggin' tunnel. How on earth did that thing actually get built?!
The flooding potential is bad enough, but otherwise, it's not a matter of "if" people are gonna die horribly of fire or toxic inhalation in a confined concrete space with no escape, it's absolutely "when."
He along with others discovered the cure for fascism.
One such cure makes an exceptionally satisfying "PING!" after every 8th dose administered.
I'm guessing they mean catching dealerships setting their own vehicles ablaze to claim insurance money.
I don't see that happening really though, sadly in my locale, these stupid jellybean caskets are selling and there's more clogging up the roads by the day.
...but investigators are exploring multiple causes, including arson.
I think it's quite telling that they're likely considering the strong possibility that these wonderous marvels of cost-cutting may have just spontaneously lit themselves ablaze without help, at rest, in a parking lot.
For a majority of other vehicles, that'd be an absurd conclusion. But Teslas contain a baffling amount of greed-motivated engineering and numerous fire incidents. It isn't talked about enough and I see more of these things by the day. There has to be some kind of "reputation management" going on.
Either way, remember kids! If you see someone setting an unoccupied swastikar ablaze...
No you didn't.
"Routers using OpenWRT"
Every time I research this, it seems like nothing I can reasonably acquire can run it. Especially any WiFi 6 / AX devices. It's infuriating.
Edit: Not the fault of OpenWRT, but how stupidly locked down everything is manufactured by design anymore.
