    Car security is horrible

    I bought a copying remote from aliexpress thinking “no way my car has a static code and not a rolling one… right?”

    Nope, fuck you Kia, any stupid cheap remote from aliexpress can be used to copy keys from a surprising amount of cars.

    Car security should improve and I hope this becomes a big enough issue that it get’s better regulated

        Yeah, but saving 1.50 per car improves some stupid business performance indicator, which respectively will get some manager a nice bonus.

            Ever since I first met the insanity that are business indicator numbers, I lost my believe in humanity. People knowingly hurt their companies effectiveness and prosperity just to improve those numbers. And they get rewarded for it.
