If the key fob battery is dead it still has a physical key that is removed from the key fob to unlock the doors and can still interface with the car via NFC to allow operation of the vehicle once inside (not op but I have a car with that going on so I’m making the assumption).

As an aside, if this is a topic that interests you, I recommend Code by Charles Petzold and The Code Book by Simon Singh. They are both exceptional books and very approachable.

While the public and private key are separate, they are mathematically related.

Say two large prime numbers are generated. Their product is used as part of the public and private keys. When you multiply two prime numbers together it is extremely difficult to “guess” what those two prime numbers were from the product, but if you have the private key you know the missing part of the equation that makes it difficult to reverse so you can easily reverse the equation and decrypt the message.

An encrypted message requires the key pair to decrypt. So if I’m sending you a message I use your public key to encrypt, then you use your private key to decrypt. Only you have your private key. If I were going to sign something, rather than encrypt it, I would use my private key, then everyone could verify it was me by using my public key.

The way they explained things is how it works, do you not understand how public/private key pairs are used in encrypted communications?

Does this picture help?

I’m not trying to be an ass if my post comes across that way, I’m just unsure of your level of knowledge so I don’t want to offend by providing basic level info if it’s not wanted.

It doesn’t take anymore energy than lifting a wave, which was my prior default. I have started to get involved, I’m just not going to turn a blind eye to anyone anymore.

It hasn’t taken over my life. I have a strong foundation, and people who love me whom I love that aren’t bigots. Everything is politics when politics, so that’s a nonsense statement. I appreciate you sharing your concern from behind your veil.

I completely get it, along with all the folks saying they don’t, won’t, can’t sell their Tesla. I’m also going to flip off every single Tesla I see on the road unless something seriously changes. I’ve spent most of my life with my head in the sand, first time ever donating to politics was sending Harris a weeks pay after she announced following Biden’s disaster debate. I was obviously part of the problem. Since the election I’ve cut out my family, have one friend left, and my wife and kids. I also flip off everyone in my development that had up Trump signs anytime I see them. I’m not going to actively destroy someone else’s property but I’d defend anyone that does. I’m privileged, my breaking point is different, the least I can do is show I’m not another bigot in this backwater country by ensuring my disdain for their hatred is understood. Fuck all of them and the symbolism’s of hate they have built. Even if I somehow found myself in a Tesla I’d at a minimum still be flipping off every one of them I saw on the road and hope every person I passed returned the favor so I’d know where they stood. Fuck them and fuck anyone carrying around their symbol of hatred hiding behind their veil of privilege.

I would also kill for a fun engaging evolution style game. I’ve never found something I like but I gave up looking after the let down from spore. It’s actually when I stopped playing video games so many years ago. I actually pirated the game recently to see if my disappointment was unjustified so I’m happy to see it listed multiple times here. If theirs ever a great evolution strategy role playing type game that comes out I’ll try video games again but the disappointment from spore really hit me and I’d also need to see compelling gameplay from a real person to ever give one a shot again. Just typing this out makes me realize how silly it all sounds but spore was such a disappointment to me that I quit playing video games all together.

Calling you out on your critique of others while failing to living up to the very same standards you set for others isn’t trolling. You’re projecting onto others while you fail to do anything yourself while judging those who at least try something. #yobf

Why would I block you, you’re your own biggest failure. That you are willing to put it on public display is an amusing commentary to me. Tagged and followed.
