It makes devices using those (extremely popular) chips easy to clone as you can dump the firmware (firmware that sometimes also contain secrets, like cryptographic keys or API keys).
Not world shattering, but damn annoying (I myself handle a few millions of those in a connected object deployment and at the very least it warrants a revision of the risk analysis, as the attacker level got lowered some scenarios became more likely).
Exactly, quality of code is one of those necessary but not sufficient things... If you are somehow successful without quality of code (e.g. early Twitter maxing Rails performance) you end up either crash and burning of spending crazy amounts on infrastructure/rewrites (and often both).

Crowds are just easy to thin with repeating firearms and a good supply of ammo...
It's pretty optimistic. They certainly cannot "uncommingle" existing stock, so you may be able to buy new product with better source assurance, but for existing products...
However, 3 wheelers quickly reach their limitations in turns, since you can't lean to balance. So making a C5 go much faster than its original top speed could be risky.
I don't think the speed would be an enormous problem; the legal (powered) speed limit for e-bikes in the UK is essentially the same as when the C5 was new, at 25km/h. So as long as you stick with a stock EU/UK standard controller you should be fine.
And you'd get a fantastic amount more grunt uphill and a longer range with a modern battery and motor.
Could the car lean if it had electric suspension? Is this a fundamental limitation of a 3 wheeler with 2 in the back or is it just difficult to achieve?
“On BBC's Top Gear programme in 2002, Jeremy Clarkson said, "I have to say, absolute hand on heart, I've never had so much fun in a car, really and truthfully, and I don't think I'd ever tire of it."”
A friend worked in an audiophile shop during his physics master and he'd swear the customer base was the most gullible bunch he ever saw... And mostly unswayable by rational arguments.
I suspect some of that disconnect is because hearing itself isn’t standardized. Differences in frequency perception, hearing loss, and training can make two people genuinely hear different things.
Of course people have different hearing, but the audiophile market is overflowing with snake-oil stuff like 'oxygen free copper' cables to 'acoustic resonator discs'.
Nobody's proven any of that stuff results in better sound quality (or even different quality after you graduate from junk stuff to reasonable equipment). Seems like an awfully expensive way of experiencing the placebo effect to me.
I know someone who spent upwards of $10k on a single 3-foot HDMI cable that was 'infused with Peruvian copper'. He says it makes the colors "more true".
