    But the manufacturer doesn't have to make it easy for you by providing schematics and making sure everything will be in easy reach and the process will be non-destructive.

    Perhaps they should have to?

    OK, I would like to say something: why do you think he deserves it ?

    Let me answer for GP:

    I have managed to understand the way things work. My life is dictated by the whims of others. I cannot conceive that I might push change into the world. This is how it's supposed to be. Free thinkers are to be pointed at so that noone notices how much I fear their water-through-rocks state of mind.

    When *I* buy a car *I* don't rip the upholstery to see if there are any hidden microphones underneath. *I* trust the manufacturer thar any such device would have been disclosed and there are regulations to make sure this holds true. *I* also don't demand to examine the ECU software for any code designed to kill *me* on purpose while driving. *I* trust there is regulation against this.

    FTFY.

    Also, I seem to recall that there were regulations to limit emissions of diesel engines. How did that work out for you?

  4. They get rich. They get notoriety. They get to be crowned visionaries and regarded as pioneers. What do you get? Outrageous hours and inadequate paychecks. Stressful, toxic work conditions that push you to your physical and mental limits. The fear that asking for better means risking your dream job

    Welcome to the world of employment.

    Please queue by the meat grinder on the left for your pay cheque.

    This isn't the middle ages, where the law books are a guild secret only for the initiated.

    Curious, I used to say to myself "I don't agree but am pressing the button labelled 'I agree' because there's an asymmetrical power relationship at play."

  10. I foresee a future where people are paid to view news. This is completely reasonable since news stopped being about informing people and became more about pushing an agenda. So it's pay me to occupy my brain with your viewpoint. Like a billboard.

  14. ...the jurisdictions containing these businesses require them to accept cash?

    If someone were to create a website listing all of the businesses where one can avoid payment due to the business failing their responsibilities, would this be acceptable according to local laws ?

  15. What does "can be required to..." even mean?

    My understanding is that it's verbal or written sleight of hand similar to "you need to..." in other words, to add apparent weight to "I want you to..."
