Cannot stand Duo and Microsoft Authenticator. Proprietary MFA clients should be ridiculed.

Hyperbolic and lacking nuance? Yes. But I came here to shout into the clouds, not to be fair.

It looks like it is going to get solved with license plate readers, but toll road transponders. Make everything EZ Pass, that is what it was designed for.

Car infotainment

Before it was called infotainment, it was standardized. Your vehicle had either a DIN or double-DIN sized deck and replacing it meant getting a new deck in the right size and the wiring harness for your vehicle.

Now, every vehicle uses their own specific sized HMI, the computer(s) driving that is buried somewhere else in the vehicle, and it's so tightly coupled to the car's specific CAN/ethernet interfaces using signalling that's only somewhat standard across manufacturers so even integrating a third-party head unit into all of that would likely mean losing a whole bunch of features.

Most people just use Android Auto/Carplay now anyways

I really wish we could go back to double DINs ☹️ there should’ve been a standardized consortium like matter devices for cars. I’d kill to put a Tesla infotainment screen in anything else.

A voting test. To keep people from voting with "feelings in my bones" instead of knowledge about things.
