@neil I tripped up the stairs and spilt my drink, and *still* had more success than #jeep updating it's car's firmware

#fail

Hahaha "loss of motive power"

(Jeep 2024 Wranglers have apparently been bricked by an over-the-air software update)

#jeep #oopsie

I was driving down the street, in my brand new Wrangler Jeep
When suddenly the engine stopped, and everything started to beep
Apparently I can't move because someone pushed to prod
Something broke this weekend, software kinda odd

I wonder if they use some AI coding tools
And have turned themselves into bricked Jeep fools
All I know is now I'm stuck here on this hill
With a giant towing bill

Alas, why did we decide to connect cars to the cloud
They used to work fine without it, fer crying out loud
Give me the days when there was no software updates
Blue screen of death, broken Jeep, I cannot relate

#jeep #oopsie

Here's my official #introduction

My name is Phil Williams. I am a #father, and now #grandfather, with 6 kids. Most of my kids are adults now.

I am a #Christian, and a #conservative. Frankly, I can't stand #politics.

I am a geek. My hobbies include #selfhosting #homelab #writing #armchairtheology and exploring the #outdoors.

I have a #Jeep, which I love. When it is running, I am in a much better mood than when it is in the garage for repairs. #jeeplife

My #Mastodon instance is self-hosted.

Curio.

A bunch of IT/techies are zoning on on hashtag "Jeep" lately, mostly on the older, prior-to-2010s models (also by hash).

I keep getting younger IT types going "whoah" and asking questions (some other venue, not here).

Odd, that.

@thegibson , got anything?

#Jeep #IT

POOF!

Like magic.

A while ago, I had to replace a defective battery.

In the spirit of a once-over in that area, I floated re-doing the cables, but decided to just refit them.

First, be merciless. ::snip::
