I dunno, bikes are great because they're so simple. With a mechanical group I can switch cables meself etc and make it work again. Junction boxes, firmware, electrical stuff ... All seems to complicate matters somewhat ... Just needs an update progress bar stuck at 98%, and you are right where everything else in life is heading, which is the internet of shit. And I say this as a software developer.
