That's an excellent point. I know next to nothing about Tesla hardware, but it looks like ARM hardware which has protection, so as far as I can see running a stupidbackgammon game as root, and everything else for that matter is not exactly confidence inspiring. What's more, that means that memory leaks are even more likely to screw stuff up.
I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on Tesla, but running everything as root is a pretty novice move.

If so, does this indicate that it's running as root instead of a more restrictive account? If so, that doesn't sound like a good idea. Speaking of which, if that is running as root, it strikes me that there are quite a few things running as root that I think probably shouldn't be. Note that I have no idea how constrained the hardware and operating system are. I can imagine embedded systems that don't really have the concept of non-root accounts. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
