John Deere has entered the chat.

Also, car companies have been tinkering with "electronic repossession" - remote kill switches due to nonpayment.

So ... get ready for other things to suck as we attach technology to them.

Thank you for bringing this point. The actual problem is not the software itself, but its proprietary nature and infinite hunt for profit without any limits. Consider free software instead and you will see that it is improving year by year, despite very slowly (which is logical, in the absence of infinite resources).

My Linux machine never forces me to reboot, shows any ads or suddenly changes its interface.
