Tesla's charger, sure. "We're only installing those at dealerships."
Lots of places around have a token few electric car charging stations. They are, for the most part, all free. But as soon as there's a demand for dozens of stations and they're being used constantly, trust me, they will no longer be free. (in many parts of the world, they aren't free already.)
How about asking your electric car friends how far they can go from home without any worries. And how far they actually drive every day. Range Anxiety is a real thing. Most people only drive a few dozen miles per day, yet few have electric vehicles. (or use public transit for that matter.) Why? Because electric cars are more expensive to purchase, require various additional items (eg. chargers), require planning ahead (have the car charged, know how far you need to go, and where there are chargers on your route), and finally the limited range and long recharge times scare people.
As for driving thousands of miles, plenty of people do just that. You fail to consider a car going such distances will normally have more than one person in it capable of driving. I've driven/ridden, in one shot, from Birmingham AL to Raleigh NC a few times, RDU-ATL several times, RDU-DC several times... The ability to drive more than 200-300 miles per day, at any given moment, is something electric cars cannot do. And even when they can go 1000 miles, it will still take hours to recharge them. (Granted, people will have far less apprehension with a 1000 mile range car.)
Bull. There are fluids to change, 'tho at much longer intervals and for very different reasons. (look under the hood some time.) There is a transmission, too, but it's vastly simpler than most cars. (you can direct drive the wheels, but there are patents that poo on that.)
You MOST CERTAINLY DO need to replace the brake pads. Regenerative braking does some work stopping the car, but it doesn't do ALL of it.
CURRENTLY free. As a carrot to get people to various locations. When it becomes popular, it'll cease to be free, as it'll be a measurable cost to provide.
(And the little secret they don't tell people... repeated rapid charging reduces the life of the battery pack.)
Not when it takes hours to recharge it. I can go 500+ miles in my car, and then do it again 2 minutes later. (assuming the station's pumps aren't dog slow.)
Technology that's been buried by the industry for decades will resurface -- gas turbine, diesel-electric. It's not impossible to make a 50mpg car (gas or diesel.) The real work is meeting all the idiotic "safety" standards -- 55 air bags adds a significant mass and volume, light crash structures are complicated. Then there's the driver expectation of driving a f'ing rocket. A small, light, low power, highly efficient car IS possible. Hell, my 2ton Lexus ES can do 40mpg -- 50 isn't impossible. (the HS I had previously, once, managed over 60mpg (highway) on a 14gal tank, but that's not an enjoyable way to drive it.)
because it's basically required to keep the car from freaking out about the front tires moving and the rear not moving.
Linked 4-wheel dyno. We had to do that to test the my Lexus HS; if the rear wheels aren't spinning, it will not accelerate. (G sensors are a dead giveaway, 'tho.) My 2001 VW bug doesn't care; it'll signal an ABS failure, but go anyway.
Driving a slow car fast takes skill (and driver skill is what any "spec" series is about.) Driving a fast car fast is easy; just have the balls to stomp on the accelerator.
In NC, the state gets ~7$ per inspection (I've not checked the exact number recently); the inspection center gets to charge "up to $23" for doing the 5mins of "work", so they ALL charge the maximum possible. (and push up-sells on everything)
Because it's done via an upgrade ROMMON, which has no verification method on a running system. Thus, persistent and undetectable. Once installed, it can prevent it's removal.
They're the same command, moron. And this is done via a "BIOS" (ROMMON) hack. That is as undetectable as anything can get in a Cisco device. (since there's no way to read it back)
And then for "remote management" they put a dialup modem on the console (or aux) port with a stupid simple password that isn't dependent on TACACS, etc. (because they need to be able to login when the network is fubar and cannot talk to those systems)
I've worked with Spamhaus many times over the eons. I have NEVER seen them escalate a listing without cause, and without any attempt to contact the operator. I guess you have no one watching your abuse@ or postmaster@ mailboxes, or blocked the messages as "spam", etc.
A former employer was a host for a rather large (and stupid spam operation -- spamming hostmaster@ your new ISP, literally seconds after the link was turned up) and we were never listed at all. Of course, *I* told spamhaus of their contract when it crossed my desk -- they were blacklisted before they even knew their address block. The address block we requested for them (because ARIN knows better) was listed before it appeared in whois.
Handcuff keys are actually pretty standard -- otherwise, the cop that cuffed you would be the only one who could open them.
But, yes, the keys would be 99% useless "in the yard" as prisoners are rarely cuffed inside the prison. (various maximum security scenarios aside.) And it has become increasingly common to use zip-ties instead of metal cuffs. (cuffs are expensive, use common keys, and some people can slip out of them.)
The flash "web client" has been around for a while now. (even before 5.0) It was their mistaken path to escape the windows-only client (which is VB/C#/.Net crap) It's always been clunky and slow. VMware's own engineers avoid using it.
Your talking about a system that's been used for 20+ years. It cannot be "patched" ('tho in older systems it can be "turned off") as it's not software. It cannot be "replaced" because it's built into many subsystems throughout the vehicle, most of which are a serious pain in the ass to even get to, much less crack open to replace a chip. (ECU, instrument cluster, ABS module, automatic transmission computer, electronic door/window modules, even the f'ing radio.)
Everybody likes to make car analogies. However, that doesn't work here. CARS have well established, documented legal procedures for having them removed. (I know them all too well.) An un-tagged, un-titled car.. I most certainly can destroy it. (in fact, the police/dmv won't touch it.)
Moving out and leaving your stuff also has mountains of legal backing. YOUR. PROPERTY. IS. ABANDONED. As such, it's no longer "your property". It can be disposed of, or publicly auctioned -- legally. (I can't keep it, but I can throw it away or put it on eBay!) As for entrusting your stuff to a friend, no contract exists; if it's damaged or lost it's entirely between you and your friend.
For an Olympic skeet champion, maybe. At 200ft, most quad-copters are very hard to see. They aren't brightly painted skeet targets moving in a predictable path. Of course, *one* bird-shot pellet is all it would take to bring it down. (those things aren't remotely "armored") Does anyone have pictures of the thing "riddled with holes"? (more holes === closer to the gun)

But the DMV isn't the one doing the inspection. (They will do the tests themselves only when a crime has been levied against you.)

That's a SWITCH, not a ROUTER. There are Tbit routers on the market, but they are not moving packets with a general purpose CPU.
Right. So next week there's a new "critical security update" that installs the same (slightly tweaked) crap.

.. or ENTER their network. You should ALWAYS inspect and filter what your idiot customers send you.

This has been a "best practice" for decades, and yet, many BIG NAME ISPs cannot be bothered to do it.

Fine. You go write a DNS server and see how horribly bug your shit is. (hint: DNS is a *complicated* protocol)
