LOL. this is why I distrust computerized slot machines.
I figure the government is smart enough to detect tampering with a mechanical machine. I have zero confidence they can detect tampering with a complex computerized system.
The guy with the 'dentist drill' finger and his pal with a fine wire finger?
Out of work with the computerized slots!
THe little guy,and the small businessmen are screwed, again!
I have 30+ years in the software industry. I've worked on/in/around everything from 8 bit microcontrollers to IBM big iron. Given a system as complex as cars have become ... yeah, it would be all too easy to hide significant chunks of code in there. I have zero confidence some fed flunky or lowest bidder contractor could effectively ensure anything about them.
The broke down cars you see on the side of the road are not due to mechanical failure for the most part but a software issue.
My 1992 Honda Accord LX was stuck in one gear and I could barely climb a hill. I looked up the possible problems with everyone saying it will cost this or that. All expensive.
The last person to comment had the solution. He said pull the fuse out that feeds electricity to the computer that runs the transmission (under passenger floorboard). It also send electricity for the radio.
I pulled out the fuse then waited a minute then plugged it back in and my transmission was as good as new. I had to do this 1 more time while I owned the car. I wonder how many people were ripped off by mechanics who knew the trick but charge $2000 and did nothing but pull a fuse.
