Yes, but your average webdev doesn't know how to program that SaaS, so the market is saturated with bad software.

> The passage never does explain, though, how you’re supposed to haul an elk carcass

Would you believe that moose are also hunted in places that have very few pickups?

I'd love it if Telos were cheaper, though. $40-50k is enough to keep me buying used cars.

> How about hauling away customer's old plumbing or any number of filthy things you don't want in a car interior?

Funny story, the guys who demolished an old bathroom for us hauled the crap & dust away in a very dirty beater van (either a small cargo van or a minivan with rear seating removed, can't remember). It was their designated demolition vehicle.

2026 GMC Savana 3500 is first-party 4x4.

The only trims I see online at gmc dot com are RWD. Would you elucidate on this 4x4 option please?

There was some noise about an "Outland Edition" coming out in 2026 but all I can find now is AI slop, so maybe that's not real or maybe that's not done yet.

It could also be just a further deal with Quigley. You can already order from a dealer with the 4x4 option, and your vehicle will go factory->Quigley->dealer and be sold to you as "new", with good warranties.

Quigley is the main 4x4 conversion company I was referring to in my reply. It's about $20k.

Ford Transit and Sprinter both have AWD. GMC apparently has a 4x4 van, the other 4x4 vans are aftermarket.

F-150 Lightning was supposed to start at $39,974 and ended up at $54,780. I'll be surprised to see Slate actually happening under $30k. Having lost the $7,500 rebate, more like $35k.

USA seemingly can't sell small or base trim cars.

If an e-ID can vouch you are citizen number #3223423, it should be able to use the same crypto to vouch that your birth date predates a threshold, without revealing anything else. It's more a question of requirements gathering & UX (and political will).

That sounds like Apple & Google-blessed Android only, open source gadgets and non-Microsoft desktops not supported. Estonia at least used smart cards where a reader can be plugged into just about anything.

So is Manifest v2 ad blocking and plenty of people are screaming about killing that one.

For a proper HN technical-solutions-only response, have the rewrite functionality reside in a WASM module cached locally and run in the browser, with a transparency ledger proving everyone sees the same WASM modules. This way any MitM attempts by the service are reproducible and undeniable.

v2 is not a MitM concern (but it is a malicious code concern). Before quibbling about this consider that if v2 qualifies as a MitM concern then pretty much every other piece of software also does. That isn't in keeping with the spirit of the term.

The outrage is threefold, because there is no viable alternative, because it infantilizes users, trampling their agency, and because it clearly serves corporate interests at the expense of the user.

As to your proposed solution - the rewriting needs to happen on a separate device in order to avoid pushing extra data across the network. If you're already self hosting that service then there's no need for a transparency ledger.

It's auto updating JavaScript maintained by some unknown that can rewrite html on any page, how is that not an MitM risk?

The html itself is rarely a lot of data, most things in this space remove or resize images etc.
