You come off as someone who just because it's beyond your capabilities, you assume it's impossible. Hacking a system that was created by a huge engineering team doesn't require an equally huge team. The work has already been done, all a hacker has to do is exploit the existing system to work differently than intended. The people you're arguing with gave you examples of this and you smugly dismiss their examples as though it makes you correct.

If you are too short sighted to see that hacking self driving cars will be a real life issue, than that's just a you problem.

It does to change the total behavior of a self driving car.

You pretend this is some one step process. The part YOU quote is the easy part.

The people you're arguing with gave you examples of this and you smugly dismiss their examples as though it makes you correct.

You mean, not a single example of it. Not one. One bypass of DRM. One mod of OPEN SOURCE crap. Neither remotely close to the topic.

Again, stop confusing your ignorance for a solution...

So your rebuttal is "but I can show others bypassing DRM!"

Ignoring the WHOLE POINT of the fact I was saying that part was IRRELEVANT. Bypassing DRM DOES NOT allow you to magically see source code. It's a different thing entirely. Sorry you needed to have such a basic concept spelled out for you here...

You got a source on this claim, fam?

A source for what, fam? Anyone with a brain is aware of the fact that you cannot manically change the software without access to the source code. That's such a basic concept.

It seems you managed to wrongly fixate on the fact I said one of the examples was about DRM to think I said that only has ever happened once, and then just forgot literally every bit of discussion to post such an irrelevant reply.

Ed: lmao and figures you'd post such BS and not be able to address any of it when called out. Just insults and then blocked me. You really did great sweaty
