"Vector was late in moving from machines with 8K processing to 16K, which had become the new industry standard." I was interested in S100 bus machines, but couldn't afford one! If I'd only known, I'd have borrowed to buy a Vector Graphic S100 back then, just for the novelty of having an 8192-bit CPU! ;-)

Text of the proposed law [1]:
"28171. (a) Commencing with the 2027 model year, every passenger vehicle... be equipped with an intelligent speed limiter system." and (b) "be capable of being temporarily disabled by the driver of the vehicle."
Also: (c) "shall be capable of being fully disabled by the manufacturer or a franchisee, but only as provided in Section 28172." (28172 is about EMS etc.).
I smell loopholes for me (politicians, and likely techies ;-), but not for thee.
Also interesting how GPS jammers haven't entered the chat yet?

I stopped reading around the "Nightmares" subheading, as the rest doesn't involve Nim-lang IMHO.
