Good, I don’t see a problem then, companies can go fuck themselves

Edit: wanted to clarify that I don’t think it’s not a problem in itself, it certainly is, but it is a direct consequence of people being dumb, even announcing a plan like this should cause a complete boycott, but I don’t think most people cared

Hmm, I am no expert, but how can they sue me for hacking my own car, I should be able to do whatever I want, atmost they should be able to cancel my warranty
