@cascheranno@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange The difference is that hacking those other things you mentioned puts people's lives in danger while bricking lazy rich people's menacing robo-lawnmowers... doesn't.
You're not going to convince me it's unethical to brick these things. I consider it ethical to brick Google robotaxis (while they're not in motion) ethical too. And a lot of similar things.

@cascheranno@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange What makes the robo-lawnmowers situation special is that there's a unique opportunity right now for someone to take them all out of service before the vendor locks down the backdoor so only they (and whoever pops them, or the government whose jurisdiction they're under, etc.) can use it.
