how long before Americans start tipping over fuel trucks to steal fuel then catching themselves on fire and dying a horrible painful death with no healthcare to save them?

>> No.49690742

If gas stations care so much they should hire more people to look after the pumps or spend money building them in a way that can't be hacked with an electromagnet or whatever that thing is.

never, we can just openly compete with each other to produce fuel. if the price goes high enough, it doesn't matter how inefficient you are at it, you can grab some market share.

I mean, there may be certain populations in the US stupid enough to die like that.

How did it work? Did it just suck out gas or did it just trick the machine into not knowing how much is pumped.

They popped open the front panel of the machine and just plugged in so it went it into debug mode. I have no idea what that device is, maybe bolt pattern matches the machine.

Thing is it would be easy to get away with if it weren't for security cameras at literally every pump. How did they have the foresight to use this and not consider that?

They were probably better off getting a spare tank truck and just robbing a petrol station at 3am. One haul, no worries.

It mimics the thing that turns while measuring gas flow, the hack just uses a reduction gear so it turns slower, making the pump think it has pumped less gas than it really has.

They probably figured they'd get away with stealing, like you can easily do in most areas nowadays.

i am told newer cars(2010+) have an anti-rollover valve that prevents siphoning, so they have started drilling gas tanks instead.

>people actually started venerating the market maniuplators
It's the same as the fuckers who praise that motherfucker ryoshi for "manipulating" the market by pumping a coin when the dude is most likely a major whale that actively moves the market as he wishes
