Firmware writer,

It's the dirty story of a dirty man,

And his clinging wife doesn't understand,

His son is working for the Daily Mail,

It's a steady job but he wants to be a firmware writer,

Firmware writer a Firmware writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,

I'll be writing more in a week or two I can make it longer if you like the style I can change it 'round and I want to be a firmware writer Firmware writer

If you really like it you can have the rights,

It could make a million for you overnight,

If you must return it, you can send it here,

But I need a break and I want to be a firmware writer...

This is a case where overrides and workarounds will come into play as needed.

There will be pushback from the guys that like to show up at sites that have no onsite parking before claiming they’re out of time and thus have to stay.
All while blocking gates, driveways, various accessways, etc.

I drive a f-150 with a logo’d trailer on occasion for my job. The trailer is merely a means to get my demonstration supplies to the shows I do.

So of course, DOT says I need a ELD. I despise the stupid thing because most of the time I have no trailer, thus no need to log.

I got a new truck a couple months ago and kinda forgot to connect the ELD because I haven’t had the trailer connected. I almost feel free.

A federal mandate requires most heavy-duty trucks to be equipped with ELDs, which track driving hours.
If there is really a vulnerability here, it's the fault of big gov.

Imagine what kind of malware might be infiltrated into EV systems through charging stations. Also malware might be designed to migrate from traveling vehicles and infect other charger installations.

"...there's not too much diversity of products on the market."

I spotted the problem right there -- not enough DEI in the trucking industry.

WHEN (not “if”) China declares war on the US to capture Taiwan, China can even now then stop all overseas shipping from leaving its ports with a single phone call.

And with this malware program, China can stop all shipping inside the US too.

Instant victory.
