  • I’m not sure why this shocks people. It’s definitely not new or tesla specific.

    Does your car have an app that let’s you see data from your car or do anything to remotely control it like unlock the doors? then that can be done by the car company that runs the backend the app communicates with.

    It’s also not limited to app based things, cars have had this since OnStar was a thing. It’s just much more obvious these days.





  • Correct, though to be pedantic anyone can be a CA- you just generate a cert with the right bits to say it’s a ca certificate and then use it to sign any other certificate you want.

    But the only devices that will consider your signature worth anything are ones you also install your ca certificate on. So it’s useful and common in internal networks but isn’t really what is being asked here.

    The hard part is getting in the root CA store of operating systems and browsers. As far as I know they are all maintained independently with their own requirements.


  • i am not making shit up, I promise I’ve ran many game servers over the years. I am obviously generalizing as of course there are counter examples especially MMOs.

    But then there is warcraft 1 through 3 that were peer to peer and quake, half life, unreal, painkiller, enemy territory, and just about every fps game of the era that came with the software to run your own dedicated server, or could host a listen server while playing.

    If you want to just look at a single very mainstream example, look at call of duty. Everything up to and including cod4:mw came with the software to run your own server. nothing after it did, though a few let you ‘run your own server’ by paying their approved hosting provider to run a copy for you, but it was always under their control and not something you could just set up on hardware you already have.




  • i didn’t downvote but imo it is light on data. having some more info on methodology would help, like where did the data come from? was there any normalization or other processes?

    It’s hard to know if this is a map of words used most in an area relative to how little it’s used elsewhere, or just most common? or just…cherry picking slang that isn’t actually commonly used but is from that area?
