To be honest, id watch more of his videos but, he just creeps me out. Idk what it is.

Agreed. He does give out a fanatic hyperactive vibe, eventhough he is voicing a good cause.

Man, just go back to normal trains and now computers with attached trains. Can't hack or remotely kill what doesn't have a computer in it.

Erm... There's a lot going on inside an electrically powered train. Even a diesel engine has a computer managing fuel flow and diagnostics.

More importantly, you need networked computers to handle automatic train safety systems, a requirement in the EU from what I understand, after several notable rail crashes up to the 70's.

Modifying the software of a device YOU OWN, should never be illegal in and of itself.

Engineer OP Mod ,

Absolutely. Maybe an exception for video game multiplayer cheating, but that's the only thing I can think of. Any other situation I can think of just enriches the computer to the massive detriment of the user.

Force modified clients in a seperate lobby. Mods can be fun and extend shelflife of games immensly.
