That’s their hope. The administrations of some governments are purposely doing moves to embolden terrorism, embolden racism, embolden hate. Then when someone with the wrong skin color does something terrible, they can say, “see? War were declared.” Let the wartime profits rain in!

Jewish people are great, the people of Israel seem to be smart and clever, their engineering seems first-class. Their government? Up there with the USA Federal government on the list of terrible things that need to go away.

They probably also likely removed it, because if you open your browser’s debug window, it identifies clearly that T-Mobile is the backing carrier, not “the big three carriers” like they claim. It’s T-Mobile’s classic MVNO coverage map, if one is familiar with it (which will include possible roaming on other carriers, so they’re not “lying”…)

That coverage site is also running on a very old system, IIRC, so good luck finding an engineer that still works there and knows how to fix it to “update” the gulf.

(Cell nerd deets, Mango-Mobile is using Liberty Wireless as their backing MVNO, which is an MVNO on T-Mobile’s infra. Liberty was also already terrible. MVNO’s are virtual cell carriers that live on real ones. It is NOT using Verizon, AT&T, or even Dish, except possibly in the case of roaming agreements.)

T-Mobile also use Muskrat’s Starlink as their mediocre sat-to-cell service, and they also leveraged Mango’s position in his first term to push through M&A’s to acquire 5G spectrum to artificially accelerate/cheat past the others. John Legere fans, cover your ears, he actually went to Mango’s FCC quite a bit to get this going.

tl;dr: probably a good idea to add T-Mobile to the boycott list next time one’s looking for cell service. (As well, any T-Mobile MVNO like Mint, MetroPCS, etc. Here’s an MVNO List that can be sorted by host network.)

He gained access to a trove of government data that he Starlinked back to his lair. He got more government military contracts and he got the FCC to revisit a bunch of hardline fiber broadband that will now end up going to Starlink or T-Mobile home broadband, as T-Mobile seems to be pretty ingrained in his money camp. Why give America fiber when you can deploy wireless affected by all sorts of extra physics problems? He also likely got a pass to keep poisoning communities with his AI datacenter running on a fleet of unfiltered backup generators.

He wanted money and access, and to feel special, like all of their types do.

Trained? Or… tortured.

They use laminate glass on the side windows as well as windshield on some models for noise reduction. Traditional window breaking tools don’t work on them. It’s basically a tombmobile.

Aww, how cute, he wants to choose the prison he will rot in while awaiting his execution.

The hilarious part is that they think the rule of law actually still applies in America. It’s already dead. The message just hasn’t yet traveled from the nerves back to the brain yet.

I keep saying it’s America’s Golden Shower Age, apparently, it really is.

Probably an ARM computer running skeleton Windows and RDP.

Why bother with such a thing when a NUC could do the compute locally in the same form-factor? Other than corpo data theft paranoia, but the risk of lost productivity from cloud failure seems a bigger risk than that.

It is what their owner men want.

It’s a weird thing in apps when you accept permissions. The app is allowed to ostensibly tether over the Bluetooth link enabled in the app.

So, here’s a solution that will likely work but I’m just extrapolating based on auto industry stuffs. If the ads are driven by SiriusXM, they’re likely coming over the satellite radio. The shark fin on top has several antennae in it, including the XM antenna, which is on a specific frequency band and antenna type. Find the wiring harness for the shark fin, trace the SiriusXM cable, unplug or snip it. You’ll lose XM, but, honestly, based on the garbage I hear on a lifetime subscription radio these days, I don’t understand why anyone pays for it, except for living in or traveling through remote areas with frequency and wanting live background noise.

Chances are it’s possible they’d also try and load the ads via a paired Bluetooth phone for Internet, (maybe) if that’s the case it’s a little more difficult. Probably impossible on iPhone, but on Android may allow one to disable the act of shuttling data to the car stereo via Bluetooth. If Stellantis uses an app to proxy data to the car stereo, deleting the app on the phone would break it.

like cars haven’t been like that for YEARS now

Worse, Teslas are designed like computer software rather than cars, which is why they are so dangerous and terrible, as software development processes are absolutely horrible for things that actually matter, especially when compared to existing vehicle engineering principles.

I feel dirty cross-linking to that other place but check out how/where they locate the brake lines. A nice convenient rust-prone place, only accessible by removing the battery. Apparently the design has become even shittier since.

That character could use employee diagnostic access into the cars as they are always on the Internet. SSH into them, get into the battery controller and do myriad things. Set the thermal management into permanent heat mode. Disable thermal management 100% for the next time the car is driven so it can’t cool the batteries (good for getting rid of pesky rodents like muskrats that try to live in them.) Mess with the charge controller in general so it overcharges, undercharges. You name it. All sorts of fun things one could add to that book depending on your plot.

Make sure while your character is hacking the battery controller though, that they set the car stereo to play Dragula by Rob Zombie at full volume. For effect.

These idiots were dumb enough to design Teslas like computers rather than cars, so a whole lot of stuff was designed like a crappy cell phone rather than the proven design principles of automotive engineering.

Hah, yeah, wasn’t trying to compare smathering junk in an open wound versus modern medicine by any means. Just that the concept has been around for a very long time.

The only difference here, is cats serve a purpose.

Worse, they were working with half information. The San Joaquin valley water does eventually connect to LA. California has, over the last century, interconnected a majority of their water, and water from other states, to LA. LA shouldn’t exist in its current form. It’s arid desert, yet way too many people and crops exist there. The El Diablo Canyon nuclear facility exists solely to pump water over mountains for LA. (Was hilarious when Newsom wanted to shut it down until he was educated.)

All that said, wasting reservoirs thinking the water will instantly teleport to LA is so destructively stupid. There is so much interplay in their water infrastructure.

Those boneheaded idiot kids shouldn’t have been given the time of day by anyone. Farmers should hunt them down and make those two work the fields by hand until they recoup their losses. Including filtering out the salt brine they likely contaminated some fields with.

Ben Franklin was anti-vax, but came around. Also these fuckwits are so dumb that they don’t know vaccines have been around throughout when America was “great” and way beyond.

See, in the context of Mango Mussolini, the title “senior advisor” doesn’t have the usual weight or connotation. It just means they talk to people around old orange people.

Oh, no, they’re dumb as a bag of bricks. Dumbest Nazis of all time. AI just makes them dumber.
