How is that different from a malfunction of human-operated car?

There are drive-by-wire cars on the road. ABS systems can disable breaks.

If a malfunction is caused by the control software of that car or a mechanical malfunction by bad design it seems to me like the same thing. Do you/we don't have a solution for that already?

Not only Cloudflare. They block IP Ranges of many CDNs during the matches.

> their ICE cars are notorious for being unreliable compared to the Japanese car-makers.

I always read this online, but my personal experience in EU doesn't match that at all in quite a sample of people and cars over the last ~15 years. At least not for older cards. The reliability after 100k km seems to be somewhat similar.

The repairability of VW-group stuff in 3rd party services is soo much better and cheaper. The WV-group is huge and many models across the brands share same parts and full engines. There exist non-OEM alternatives and people know how to fix those cars.

I have never bought new car. But driving anything but VW got expensive fast.

Toyota cars can have bespoke parts even between different months of the same year for the same model. Continuous improvement isn't really that cool for cars.

I am super happy with Valetudo.

Since the robots got cameras and microphones, it's a no-go for me to have it in my home connected to some cloud.

It's little bit challenging to orient oneself in the project (tip: read a couple of the last release notes), but once you do, it's great.

I bought a new robot vacuum that was specifically recommended by the Valetudo project (Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat). The rooting was straightforward and non-destructive. The robot works great.

And the usage is much better even for non-developer people (i.e. my wife), as the UI is simple, not constantly changing under your hands, no ads, no upseling. It's a tool as it should be.

You can then cut the robot off the internet completely.

Which you cant do with the 1st party apps. This alone is enough for me.

The private builder is not great, but the reason are understandable, it is what it is.

Sooo, what do you think about Edward Snowden?

Were you able to read the parent comment at all?

Are you confused by the questions/arguments in it?

> there couldnt be a more significant current event happening right now

Not that this should be a competition, but there still are other wars with atrocities/genocides happening at the moment.

E.g. Ukraine
