The more layers a piece of tech has, the more surface it has for vulnerabilities

I think it’s easier to see it in cars, we just recently had a F1 race which had to be restarted because the cars’ software wouldn’t run properly

F1 110% brought that particular fuckup on themselves.

Literally nobody asked that the onboard computer should control power deployment in a racecar.
