Probably because when you shut down the fucking government, and stop paying people, a lot of people suddenly become unemployed.

Yes. But the Trump administration (and their actions) are highlighting the danger for some people who have been completely ignoring this as a problem.

How will the websites know to respect the users preference for six months?

This is a threat. They know that they're using the stock market to fund their greed and that anyone with savings tied up there (Retirement funds that are invested in the market) will be on the hook. Plus the tax payer money they're going to ask for because they're "too big to fail".

Well. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

Ford also can't keep the ones they already have, so that's a thing.

Did something. All my personal computers are on Linux. But my work laptop? Still windows. Even finally got the upgrade to windows 11. And I hate it. So yes. I'm going to complain.

Sigh. Getting real tired of windows 11 doing BS in the background that presents a security risk.

Nobody asked for this Microsoft.

Your vacuum doesn't go under furniture more than likely so to clean under there you quit being a janitor to become a furniture mover?

I guess it's turtles all the way down.

That's not what I mean though. What I mean is, in the event that for whatever reason the signal to deactivate the electronic park brake cannot get where it needs to go using the scan tool, there has to be a way to do it manually.

Say your vehicle is in an accident. Say the electronic park brake wiring is in shreds. That brake caliper needs to come off. The body shop is going to require a way to remove it if the scan tool can't disengage it.

Say there's corrosion in the connector. Same same. Has to come off and be replaced. And so on.
