Automobile dashboards now join Nokia phones, blood pressure cuffs, and battery packs made from potatoes: they can all run DOOM!

    Sure it is. Doom is a very optimized program with available source that for almost 20 years has served as a benchmark for demonstrating the ability to hack a piece of electronics with a display.

      (This is the spirit of the post: Doom is a fun and silly demonstration of the software being hackable.)

      They can get it to run on everything. We don’t need to hear about every damn toaster getting Doom on it.

        It is not about the thing having enough power to run it. It is about hacking it to be even able to run arbitrary code on it.

        It’s not interesting to you that a car that’s been around for 4 or 5 years only just now had Doom run on it for the first time? It took a long time to hack, so that’s kinda newsworthy
