The most thought provoking article I have read this week:

A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.

So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.

In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.

In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.

@randahl To be fair, my ten year old north american GM car has the same kind of remote "kill switch" vulnerability. It's there as a feature of the OnStar theft protection package that came with the car even though I'm not paying for it.

If the U.S. regime wanted to take over Canada, it could (potentially) order car companies to disable nearly every car and truck we have.
