       | 
       | But there's so many layers. How is the car presentable? Can i

       | upgrade the modem?
       | 
       | Then the fob... kind of an interesting counter challenge.
       | Anything with an internet connection, that can control the iot
       | device? Does it work across public internet? Does it need to join
       | a personal vpn? Does the car have it's own vpn it signs into? Can
       | the fob be controlled? Maybe i want to geolocate the fob, or make
       | it beep. Who iot controls the iot controller?
       | 
       | Imo i still really really though Webinos project had their heads
       | best screwed on to handle all of this. It was a neat vpn ish
       | system. I really want to get out of the days of all products
       | being totalized experiences, that the product has tonhave all
       | possible control options built in that you'd want. I want tech to
       | be a start, to offer options. We've really walked back the great
       | intertwingularizing, de-api'ed the world, after a very promising
       | exciting ~2010 that failed to deliver every prpduct has gone on
       | it's own. It sucks for this world, is evolutionarily so limited;
       | we shouldnt make each piece of hardware have to produce each and
       | any kind of software anyone might need for it, & we should not
       | limit users to having to suffer what limited offerings the maker
       | can muster.
