Comment on Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels?
floo@retrolemmy.com 8 hours agoYou must be one of those GenZ people. I assure you, back in the day, that counted as a smartphone.
You’re so young, that you take for granted the fact that the technology available to you today didn’t exist 10 years ago, let alone 30

Nope, I’m an Oregon Trail millennial. And I’m still driving cars built between 1990 and 2010. I know perfectly well what I’m talking about and don’t need your bullshit condescension.

I’m not responsible for the fact that you bought shitty cheap cars for 20 years.
It doesn’t change the fact that cars, since the mid 80s, have come with computers and all kinds of other shit.

LOL, I’m not the one who apparently can’t comprehend the difference between a couple of unrelated microcontrollers adjusting air/fuel ratios and doing anti-lock brakes and such, and a full-blown integrated infotainment unit with CAN-BUS connecting everything and infected with DRM such that if you try to replace any part of it the system locks up until the dealer or some other manufacturer-“authorized” tech supplies the right encryption key to ‘allow’ you to use it again.
Your ridiculous attempt to conflate those wildly disparate things is your defect, not mine.

You’re the one who came back here to cry about how much you’re not crying.
Think about that.
