Car dealerships across North America are still wrestling with disruptions that started last week. CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks on Wednesday.

    Then, they look confused when I tell them I don’t want the thing connected to the Internet.

      But how will they know about your driving habits? How will they sell data to the actuaries? You’re being selfish. What are you hiding?

            Oh well. If I can’t have any then the rich assholes shouldn’t either.

            Also how the fuck does your analogy make any sense? "Keep cracking eggs (for the omelette) and you won’t have any left ( for the omelette you just made). Sick of clowns like you.

              Are you stupid? Use enough eggs and they’re all gone, if you insist in being so literal about a metaphor.

              Drive away enough working class people and they won’t help you make that omelet.

              This isn’t hurting the rich one little bit. It’s hurting thousands and thousands of working techs.

              Your glee is both misplaced and misanthropic.

                Are you stupid? Things can’t get better until they get worse because people don’t give enough of a shit yet. So until then things will just slowly get shittier. Since the rich are taking as many eggs as they can it leaves very little for us. I hope the working class gets driven away because then we’ll get to hear about big corporations crying when they can’t make any money.

                And if course it’s not hurting the rich. Not yet because the system is rigged. Only way toake them hurt is through their wallet and workers.

                Fucking clowns in this shithole don’t understand how things work.

                  So your plan to fix capitalism is to make the working class poorer?

                  Yes, it’s us with a poor grasp of how things work. You don’t even know what this software is for. Hint: it’s not for selling cars.

        Probably because of the nukes, if you have a weapons platform in orbit you can do something like launch large metal rods and it’ll have the same destructive force without any of the nasty radioactive fallout

    To be fair, the normal operation of dealership software is hardly distinguishable from a complete malware infection.

    I’ve dealt with Reynolds and Reynolds, and ADP, and they are utter bags of moldy dogshit at the best of times.

    I stopped using the dealership when they required paying by typing my card information into their http website. They said they couldn’t take physical cards anymore due to Covid. Then they handed me a pen to sign for the work to get my keys.

    My kid’s doctor had their prescription service ransomwared. They paid it, and then got ransomwared again by the same folks.

    It’s been six months now, the prescription system is broken, and they’ve been using paper prescriptions since then with no idea when things will get fixed.
