You could have perfectly safe rust that disables brakes above a certain speed, inverts steering by wire, or adjusts the charging parameters, for example (depending on addressable capabilities).
Garbage in, Garbage out. There are minimum expectations on user like ability to source proper materials, use them correctly and an ability to verify/check the result for problems. More important if it's something you want to eat or ride!
How you meant "you": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deixis#Personal
I have a hunch this is not lost on you though, and you're doing this performatively.
Please stop. It is beyond tiresome, and it is not going to compel anybody. On the contrary, it is a great way to induce animosity.
I assure you that what you're describing is lost on no one either; rather, unlike you, plenty of people simply do not care, and find this distinction trite at best. Especially when presented this way.
Uh, duh? I’m trying to draw a distinction that the person isn’t doing the work, the LLM is.
> On the contrary, it is a great way to induce animosity.
Sorry, what had you under the impression I was trying to make friends? When people who suck show up to your spot, you make them go away by making it clear they’re not welcome.
I mean. Sort of? The LLM won't go into checking random USB-C connections with an oscilloscope - it doesn't have hands, for one.
Classic CAN uses 8 bytes long frame, so 64 bits. Is it a typo in the post, vor is it using CAN-FD?
My guess is a typo.
How would you know if someone bypassed the restrictions if they were riding it safely?
"Hasn't crashed yet" is different to "safely"
There is reason for speed limits, they are not there to f--k with people for fun.
This is perhaps more of a Maker perspective. I think the article author's approach (What you might classify as embedded engineer) is more suitable broadly. These are categorizations without a fine line, but are IME useful for clustering approaches and preferences.
For another example of an adjacent non-obvious clustering, see embedded vs robotics; they don't have as much overlap as you might guess!
I do not know how what the legal context is in your country, but you may need to have a device that uses public roads licensed to do so. In case of any legal issues (accidents, mostly) not only you would not be covered by your insurance, but your situation may worsen for having operated it. Something to keep in mind.
It sounds like as long as you don't say anything, no one will ever know.
