Capricorn one.

I've never seen one.

17,000 employees is ridiculous in itself. It's at least an order of magnitude too high.

I intentionally misunderstood for (not very) comedic effect

It takes a while but I'm surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.

And I assume all the shareholders were fine with this?

No. Swap the labels and make the PCB again.

Basically how milk men would deliver fresh milk to your doorstep in the early hours of the morning.

Your family members want that?

No, they don't listen because they don't understand.

The problem isn't analogue Vs digital, or even software controlled or not. It's about the design assuming:

  1. The manufacturer will always exist
  2. The manufacturer should be the only one to maintain the device.
  3. The manufacture will define what the owner will do with the device.

An analogue device can be at fault too. Proprietary parts. Construction techniques which don't allow for dissambly without destroying things. All that stuff.

...but you're right. Buy the items that let you service them, that don't rely on cloud servers and software updates, that use standard parts, etc, etc. Right to repair legislation is good too, but the companies understand purchasing power more. So educate those around you too.

You don't need a computer in a car, especially an electric one. Sure, you want some electronics, but do you think 1970s milk floats had computers in them. Today's EVs are basically the same thing with better motors and batteries.

Software control should be kept for luxury aspects of the vehicle. Nothing critical.

There are several mastodon servers that have different feature sets. What you're saying is like "email must support AD". Well some email server might do that and another wouldn't.
