    I was actually impressed when I took a bus across state lines in the U.S. recently.

    Someone was complaining about the charger on their seat not working.

    Turns out that the driver has full control of the power to the USB ports on the bus and can turn them off and on at will… and they apparently they turn them off BY DEFAULT.

    If someone WERE to figure out a way to get from the USB port in the seats to the CAN Bus on the vehicle itself, having a hard-wired physical switch that cuts power/signal to the ports is potentially a fairly effective security measure as long as there’s not a memory buffer you can compromise and run stuff from.

    The idea of putting my device into that gives me about the same icky feeling as putting my dick into random holes I find.

    Don’t let the Pigeon drive the fucking bus.

    I know you’ve read the warning thousands of times, but the Pigeon could have a mouse, and he is sneaky as fuck, so… you know what? Fuck this shit man. I’m not being paid to be some bus station security guard. Fuck you bus driver man. Hey Pigeon, I say you should live your dream. I’m not stopping you. Go drive the fuck out of that bus. Some rando bus driver telling my kid to do his job for him? Fuck that. Don’t let people take advantage of you - that’s what we should be telling our kids. This world is going to hell.

    I’m plugging in a keyboard so I can type my destination in. That would be way faster than buying a plane ticket and visa.

    Oh wait, that’s a bad idea because I might accidentally turn the plane into a kamikaze drone. Don’t do terrorism, kids.
