No more Russia unlocks

[WisSupra1]

All - if this was an easy process, it would be widely available by now, not from a single company in Russia. Probably a very specialized skill set of knowledge in automotive, hardware, software, and encryption. Many of us will just need to wait until this world conflict either ends or someone else spends enough brain cycles to figure out to crack the DME like FEMTO has.

Agree it won't be easy, but some of us have that exact very specialized skill set and background, including low level canbus communication knowledge. If Femto is able to continue to provide their service, great - that is the easiest. But if not, rather than giving up, it may be possible to develop the utility to capture and create the config file another way. But could also end up in a dead end.
If anyone is interested in teaming up to investigate/pursue this for the challenge of it, DM.

Shows how little knowledge and inten you actually have on this matter. This is much more complex then you could ever realize and most definitely not what you have been led to believe. Best to just stick with the subject of our cars and leave the politics to the political forums please and thank you. Much appreciated.

this is an absolutely insane situation that a lot of people unfortunately do not understand the complexity behind, as a Ukrainian, all I can say is that the effects this is gonna have on the rest of eastern Europe is going to be devastating. Watch, China is going to take Taiwan next

 

[Dannyvandelft]

Sad and pathetic all this. Putin the idiot coward. Such a show of strength against a much weaker opponent. Classic dipsh-t dictator move.

Unlike the U.S. that just waltzes into any country it wants, to spread a little "freedumb" lol.

Yeah I hate to be such a Debbie downer but this is a worldwide collaborative effort between a lot of evil people currently with their own agenda. There are going to be a lot of devastating situations going on everywhere for a while. Some sooner then others. But on another note I hope your doing well man.

can't complain, it was bound to happen. most of ukraine does not even care tbh. this is political bs. Putin was never gonna let Ukraine get away, too much Uranium and other minerals he wants. I just hope our dumbass president stays the hell out of it... We have nothing to do with this, we need to stay away before Putins crazy ass turns on us and I am between 18-25 LMFAO. Not trying to get drafted.

You realize he has 80% of his Army deployed and to put it mildly most are conscripts. The US has no draft and yes this involves the world and trade. Geo-political strategy at play. As was put out yesterday - Russia's economy is one of a 'gas station'. He has no depth or capacity given he mostly exports oil and gas. Thats it.

In case you are wondering most of Ukraine is not up for this treatment. I can have my wife explain that in Russian or 4 other languages she speaks lol. Do you think for a minute they are better off with an AK pointed at all of them and no elections etc. Putin choosing the next government and taking this one out by force. Sorry wake up. This is exactly what is wrong with Putin.

Putin's Invasion of Ukraine Is a Sin All Russians Will Bear
The military assault is a tragedy, throwing two nations with so much in common against each other.

I have written and said many times in recent weeks that I didn’t believe Vladimir Putin would launch a full invasion of Ukraine. I was horribly wrong.

Here’s why.

Even in his speech announcing the invasion, Putin referred to his oft-stated belief that Russians and Ukrainians are one people. This, of course, was never true — even when they lived side by side in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The two identities and cultures are distinct. But Russians and Ukrainians are the closest of kin. Even when we speak different languages, as we have increasingly done since Putin annexed Crimea in 2014, we understand each other. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made the most of his eloquent speech on the eve of the invasion by speaking in Russian, directly appealing to Russian citizens with the ease of someone who shares a cultural code with them. It runs thick as blood and has nothing to do with official Soviet avowals of brotherhood.


A lot of evidence pointed to Putin's intention to invade. But I kept hoping he would stop at the last moment, because a full-scale attack on Ukraine, guaranteed to spill the blood of Ukrainian civilians, is the worst war crime a Russian can possibly commit. Even the inevitable parallels with Hitler’s 1938 Anschluss of Austria, which I drew before when Putin took Crimea and when he published his historical screed assailing Ukraine as an “anti-Russian project,” do not do justice to what happened in the early hours of Feb. 24.

Why Ukraine Lives Rent-Free in Putin’s Head Leonid Bershidsky In a lengthy, tortured article, he just spelled out his destabilizing fixation on how “Russia was essentially ro...

The only text I can think of that does is Genesis 4:9-12.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

To make the curse permanent, God marked Cain to make sure no one would kill him to end his suffering. Russia, with the nuclear arsenal Putin keeps bragging about, also bears a kind of Cain’s mark now. It is not Putin who is cursed now — it’s all of us Russians. Our identity, wherever we are, will be tainted by this invasion, by our failure to stop the dictator long before he crossed this unspeakable line.

Russia, of course, has seen its share of fratricidal wars, the last of them in the early 20th century. But back then, the Red soldiers’ battle was a class revolt. Putin’s war is an imperialist attack on a people more closely related to Russians than any other on earth.
I have met Putin, and I have watched him as a journalist since before he became president. My analysis of his actions was always based on the assumption of his rationality. There was always something to gain, a manageable risk of losing. Perhaps I was wrong from the start. Perhaps Putin has changed in recent years as his close circle narrowed and negative selection expelled people with a broader vision from the ranks of his advisors. Quite likely, Ukraine has long constituted an exception from Putin’s rationality, as most of its people time and time again chose the Western path, away from Putin’s vision of the Russian World.

I left Russia after the Crimea annexation because I couldn’t accept it and felt it was a great historical wrong — both for Ukraine and for Russia. But I ended up returning to that assumption of rationality. I analyzed Putin’s moves from a cost and benefit perspective. I have a lot of rethinking to do.

Yeah but fr this clogging of threads with political bs is straight trash. This isn’t Facebook. Your opinion to a bunch of car guys isn’t going to change anything in the world. Either side

Any opinion on FB or elsewhere doesn't really hold up any value either, unless it's for Cars n Coffee ? or protest at location X.

... We have nothing to do with this, we need to stay away before Putins crazy ass turns on us and I am between 18-25 LMFAO. Not trying to get drafted.

let me get this straight, you enjoy your freedom but won’t fight for it. Okay, makes sense I guess If you like being a pussy.

 

[Travelingsoldier]

No ragrats

Nah I'll fight for mine, but not Ukraines, and I am from Ukraine... I am college studying to join the feds, I plan to serve this country, but I would not support us getting involved for this

Putin is a crazy dangerous SOB. Ofc I would much rather russia leave my country alone, but I don't want the US getting involved

 

[GMsuperfan]

Let's all agree that we can say this is F'd up, Putin is an evil and dangerous dictator, and it's a bummer for FEMTO and a million other businesses and residents in the country who will suffer likely decades of hardships because of this decision.

 

[Mason]

hopefully he does this swiftly at least. @femtoevo , do you plan to offer this again once you guys are done with Ukraine? Assuming we aren’t in wwIII
