It's still embedded in a lot of machines.

That wasn't what was in the file, it was actual stuff. I saved a copy of it.

What happened was the file directed their craptastic snake oil software, which did absolutely no sanity checking first, to access memory it wasn't actually given which predictably resulted in it crashing, and since its dick was way up the kernels butt at the time they both went down together.

I've been calling them ClownStrike because they're clowns and their incompetence struck everyone else hard.

So fuck all of them in other words. Sounds good to me.

The problem is a huge number of cars were removed and destroyed which would otherwise have been in the used market. It's a big reason why even used cars are priced so high. Buying used isn't what it used to be.

And they want to do it again not because it helped anyone get a car but because it let them make the prices so stupidly high.

I agree that new cars suck but they're removing the stocks of used cars that would be worth buying at any price and at our expense.

The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), a powerful industry body that represents Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix and Spotify

Anything a group that looks like that wants can't be good for anyone else. And from reading further it sure isn't.

The Buick 3800 had a tube like that on top, it would crack from thermal stresses and piss out hot coolant. There was an aluminum aftermarket replacement like you describe but it was Dorman and a cheap fix. Buick also addressed the problem in later versions. I miss that engine.

Oh look, another reason not to buy BMW, I'll just add it to the other 456788656752 reasons.
