Yeah, your at the heart of why I won't use "cloud computing' stuff.
If there's not a down loadable file and *ALL* the things needed to set it into operation
on an offline, air gapped (and no wifi either ) box, Then I don't use it.
Sometimes have tried setting the bios clock ahead a few years/decades to see if it quits working.
seen too many things that stopped working after X many day/month.
Usage counters are the main thing that concerns me with this Auto-Tronic stuff.
any of you guys that know what they are will know why.
arbitrary number of starts and it goes to "check engine light" mode
i.e. needs dealer service setting.
hmm, did ya mod that muf or anything else?
you think getting a carb tool is an irritation? wait till your saws are tied to this stuff.
Yeah the idea of 2 coil shapes on the shelf
and maybe 3 carb bodies for your dealer to have to stock, does have an appeal.
and the tweaking potential for a while sounds interesting too
but at what eventual price.
i guess the forestry/timber crowd will embrace the button cell needed to keep the GPS module alive.
hey, after all it keeps track of the folks who swear they didn't illegally cut that wood, right?
and only adds 3/5 of an oz to the saw.
plus you can post it to facebook since your smartphone will sync with it too and automatically
send it to lol-catz (.99 per post, data rates may apply, see your service provider for final cost)
status update - "I'm in ur wuds cuttin uor treez"
Coming soon?... Ceiling Cat is watching you mod your muf!
