  • Just as a side note: According to the patent application, BMW plans to use this special screw for parts of the vehicle that are not for regular service, e.g. airbags and seat mountings.

    Examples include seat attachment points and joints between the cockpit and the load-bearing structure of the body.

    These are IMO not the kind of screws you need to use to carry out regular maintainance or repair tasks.

















  • The maintainers of the big web browsers have pretty strict rules for CAs in this list. If any one of them gets caught issuing only one certificate maliciously, they are out of business.

    And all CAs are required to publish each certificate in multiple public, cryptographically signed ledgers.

    Sure, there is a history of CAs issuing certificates to people that shouldn’t have them (e.g. for espionage), but that is almost impossible now.
