That would make me so scared. Imagine having 1 or 36 too many beers and you need to check your bank account to see if you can afford the 49th beer so you mistyped one digit of your passphrase and now locked out of everything.
I may be wrong but I thought airlines did similar. They sold more tickets than existing seats assuming people would cancel. That's why sometimes they offer cashback at terminal for a different flight, but it still comes out net positive
Partially you are right. My only disagreement is while most people don't read those documents, 1 lawyer who is bored and sees a pay day is all that's needed. Like someone has a law degree but can't find a practice to hire them so they go to a dealership, test drive a vehicle, sit down to sign paperwork, read everything and are like "hold up... Can you give me a copy of this?... Thanks, tell your boss to expect a letter from me."
It's like general computer security, you can block 500 bugs and security flaws but if 501st is discovered it's a really bad day.
I would go further than software. I think too much stuff is cheap. I'm not rich, I'm barely surviving. That said if things were more expensive but better I think that's a net positive. Like you can buy a 50 vacuum, won't do a good job won't last long no hope to fix anything. If minimum was a 300 vacuum but it had a 15 year warrenty, mandatory suction and cleaning ability and user fixable wouldn't that be better?
It's similar to the old boot thing. A poor man buys a pair of boots for 10 dollars and lasts 2 months. A rich man buys a pair of boots for 200 and they last 4 years.
Would be an interesting court case... If I'm not even shown or given a method to see a disclaimer, can it disclaim anything (is that even good English? You know what I mean but there must be a way to say it)?
Part of me says no. The company should make safe devices, a lamp is certified by ul and a car us way more dangerous.
Part of me say yes. People are really stupid sometimes. Companies shouldn't need to design everything with bubble wrap and people need to know not to slam their head into a coffee mug.
The sad part is this will/has gone to court and the first case will determine the future. Like someone is like "Nissan video recorded me buying lunch at McDonald's and saw my pin code" court says there was no damage since you can change your pin and no record of fraudulent charges. From then on there is legal precedent they can take your pin code. Year 2056, you see a Ford employee emptied your bank account by buying door dash, court states "Sorry, 30 years ago these other people said someone seeing your bank account data with your car camera is fine, just deal with your empty bank account."
I mean you are mostly right and I was joking and exaggerating. I mean someone who can tear apart a transmission and put it back together and have it work better is obviously smart and intelligent.
Honestly I hate the direction cars are going. For example twenty years ago I could buy a new stereo at Walmart and have it installed in an hour. Now do that in a tesla. Yes some cars had different physical mounts and some had the door chimes built in such a way they would not work with aftermarket stereos but generally worked.
That was a solved problem. There was no reason to make this difficult.
If you can't tell does it matter?
