  • The blame falls on the car companies (and the thieves ofc)

    They are still using rolling code technology when public private key exchange exists from the 70s. The have stagnated from anti theft technology while being in the bleeding edge of DRM and data collecting.

    they profit from rediculous keyfob prices when a 2$ microcontroller can do the job

    they have locked down the car so its impossible to modify

    they are not doing recalls to patch the vunorabilities

    they have lobbied against security research and threatened researchers with litigation











  • That is not the reality as I see it. They don’t hide the fact that it’s a sponsored video (marked as “sponsored video”) until the end of the video. They seems mindful to always disclose conflict of interest (everytime framework, the NAS company) and they stopped working with Anker publically and immediately when the eufy camera scandal broke. They seem to hold them selves to a high ethical standard and disclose information even though it paints them in a negative light (they admitted they knew honey was swapping advertiser links but they didn’t make it a big story)

    Source: I watch around 2-3 LTT videos per week and around 50% of the WAN show podcast

    I used to watch less because I couldn’t bring myself to click on the god-awful distasteful thumbnails but then I installed “dearrow” and sponsorblock and they are more than tolerable.
