  • I don’t know if there is any single takeaway here, this story is just fucking ridiculous on every single level.

    1. They bullshited themselves into a search warrant based on typical cannabis “investigation methods”.
    2. In a state where recreational cannabis use is legal.
    3. Persisted in the search even after their main argument for it, high energy usage indicating a grow-op, fell away when it was clear it was indeed a medical facility.
    4. Made the motherfucking “Gun flies to MRI” TV trope a certified reality. This is a thing that verifiably happened now.
    5. Instead of getting help, used a sealed (!) emergency shutdown button…
    6. …which damaged the machine. And released thousands of dollars worth of helium gas.
    7. Forgot their loaded magazine on the ground.

    This can’t be real. I’m fucking dying over here. Please let there be bodycam footage of the cop speaking in a high pitched voice after. (I know the helium was probably not released into the room, but one can hope I guess)

    First I heard of this, but since it seems to be just some software that runs on the hardware of car manufacturers it seems rather unlikely. But very theoretically possible, if the car manufacturer was using default process scheduling in a CPU constrained machine and now switches to real-time scheduling in an update. But that was possible for years before this news, the code has just been mainlined to the default kernel now. If the car manufacturer cared about that they would probably have done it already with a patched kernel.
