Reading this felt more emotional than I expected for a story about a car clock. I felt the authors disbelief when he has told that he would need this SD card to change the time in the car. Why should he? But it turns out that for the choices made when setting up the car systems you did need it. And this is how we will end up with the purple hat of compute in the future.
