    I was actually impressed when I took a bus across state lines in the U.S. recently.

    Someone was complaining about the charger on their seat not working.

    Turns out that the driver has full control of the power to the USB ports on the bus and can turn them off and on at will… and they apparently they turn them off BY DEFAULT.

    If someone WERE to figure out a way to get from the USB port in the seats to the CAN Bus on the vehicle itself, having a hard-wired physical switch that cuts power/signal to the ports is potentially a fairly effective security measure as long as there’s not a memory buffer you can compromise and run stuff from.

    Don’t let the Pigeon drive the fucking bus.

    I know you’ve read the warning thousands of times, but the Pigeon could have a mouse, and he is sneaky as fuck, so… you know what? Fuck this shit man. I’m not being paid to be some bus station security guard. Fuck you bus driver man. Hey Pigeon, I say you should live your dream. I’m not stopping you. Go drive the fuck out of that bus. Some rando bus driver telling my kid to do his job for him? Fuck that. Don’t let people take advantage of you - that’s what we should be telling our kids. This world is going to hell.

    No, not a mouse. But if you plugged a pigeon into that thing—Hello!
