I guess we'd have to go back to using carburetors

[–] nathan@lemmy.permisuan.com 6 points 2 days ago

Carburetors on a diesel engine?

Also, that's absolutely horrendous for emissions and air pollution. I think it's essentially impossible to have emissions control not tied to software.

Yeah because that'll be great for emissions lol

Also carbs make it pretty easy to adjust fueling, etc.

Right, but that's how it was done before computers.
