FWIW; this is not a practical problem, it's a political one. Conversion kits don't get a pass/by from the law, they are subject to the same laws just like home brew conversions.
Whenever I hear of MTG I think of the Japanese firm and I'm really confused why the business has been assigned a gender -_-
Fun fact: In the UK there is no ability (DVSA/DVLA[requirement to legally taxing/insuring a car]) for legally driving a converted ICE to Electric car. This is due to the MOT test having a test for CO2 and if the test returns null or "out of bounds" the car fails it's MOT and therefore is illegal to drive.
Such a wonderful country.
I help maintain Etherpad and this cuts so deep.
The main counter-argument I have is restrictive installation policies especially in Edu/bluechip IE you can do whatever the fuck you want in the sandbox that is your web browser but if you want to install some software you have to wait 4 weeks for approval then another 4 weeks to get approval for each update.
Also security updates/patches for native applications can be really shitty especially on Microsoft inflicted devices.. For example, if you want to update Inkscape on Windows you have to do a whole download/install process. This can lead to security related issues..
They have a toilet behind a curtain. Imagine trying to hold poop for 3+ days.. Imagine being the first one that poops and the odour.... My eyes are stinging thinking about it...
Can we not make Lemmy all about divisive American politics please? :)
I think a lot of this conversation boils down to someone needing to make an ESP32 device that sits in your OBD port and can be addressed directly for those who have a car that can connect to your home WiFi. I feel like one of those already exists...
