Cars aren’t exactly a good example on how to curb enshittification, as the car industry pioneered enshittification and found a way around regulations every time so far. Some regulations are even actively aiding further enshittification, as they require a truckload of electronics with software that is entirely under the manufacturer’s control.

That’s pneumatic Linux, though.

A person working close to a military would avoid many “military grade” products and so on.

It’s as with anything manufactured for a public institution. It won a bid by being the cheapest (and/or bribing an official). Once you know that, you’ll look at the world with different eyes.

Pretty much anyone who speaks of “tech” tends to have no idea of that they are talking about. Same applies to people using “cyber” as if it was a real word outside of Science Fiction, and a very niche niche branch of engineering that doesn’t necessarily deal with computers.
