I can scan for codes, software updates and lower the windows on new Volvos as soon as you pull into the shop via their badass wireless network.

That sounds terrifying from a car hacking perspective. Hope Volvo’s software is prepared for very adversarial interactions over that network.

MacBook Pro? F30 3-Series. Looks nice, good quality, usually replaced every three years, not to mention the fact that every upgrade is nice, but costs a pretty penny.
