    Idk who needs to hear it, but stop buying this shit. If it has a computer inside, but you can’t flash your own software onto it, just pass. If you’re unsure, look around, find the nearest Linux user and ask for help.

    These fuckers disabled car mode in the android app to make you buy one of those and now they’re killing it. I used car mode in my car and the moment it stopped working was when I cancelled my subscription.

        downvotes are not to express disagreement!

        so many comments here about adding regulations and “this should be illegal” and, yes, those may be a valid way to curb this behavior

        but customers willing to leave a company for bad behavior, customers wary of new products without asdurances they wont just become useless, non-reusable e-waste could also effectively curb this behavior

        just because you want to outsource all of your product and company research to a law or regulation, and want to be able to blindly buy products and just hope the company doesn’t make bad choices in every regard but quartly profits doesn’t mean it is the only effective check & balance

    We need new laws y’all. All these companies should be forced to collect all their e-waste as part of their products lifecycle.

    If a company produces any product and the company has a market cap over $1billion, then they should be responsible for collecting and recycling all their trash.
