Hang on, give me a few minutes to craft an excuse for why that shouldn’t be considered comparable.

This is a shared workstation PC at my job so I’ll have to just continue to deal with it.

Was this a more significant leak than the Gulf oil spill? I think not.

I’ve had nothing but issues with it since their “upgrade” over the last year or so. It keeps cycling between the new and old versions when I open it, it often closes itself on my PC, and every time I try to pin it to my Taskbar it disappears.

My wife’s Ford Edge has the worst of both worlds. It has buttons for the stereo and AC but they’re all flat capacitive buttons so they barely work when you touch them and you still have to take your eyes off the road to find them.

Because the people at the coffee stand complained when I tried taking a shit there.

Automakers will read this comment and think that everyone wants voice control instead of touchscreens or buttons.

So the government just needs to acquire this data from one of those third parties if it wants it.

Also wouldn’t the argument apply to subscribing as well? Consumers may not understand the consequences of subscribing to said service. Therefore, “click to subscribe” should also be banned.

They didn’t name the node size after the guy they named it after the unit since it’s approaching sub-nanometer node size.

You’d have to flash new firmware for that to change. In the old days each phone was carrier specific and had to have the exact right firmware but now they’re fairly generic and are cross compatible (do your own research). You could check XDA Developers for the process.

It’s a place for software that comes from a broken home and would otherwise be hanging out on the street in high-crime areas.

I’m thinking no.

You don’t come up with an idea, announce it to the world, and then start figuring out how to implement it.

Maybe in an ideal world but that’s not the world we live in.

Do you really think Amazon wants to pay humans to be cashiers?

No but if they spend a bunch of money and time designing it, spend a bunch of time and money retrofitting stores, and then a bunch of time and money marketing it and the technology doesn’t actually work when it’s ‘showtime,’ I can easily see a company with deep pockets like Amazon faking it all by hiring dirt cheap labor to make it seem like it works rather than the alternative.

Fair enough but I still view it differently than being locked out of using actual OEM features of the car. I do find this unsurprising though based on the metric fuckton of spam you get from SiriusXM after buying any new or used car from a legit dealer.

Your SiriusXM subscription doesn’t go to the manufacturer of the car. This is what they referred to as aftermarket subscriptions in their comment. It isn’t any different than if I subscribe to spotify Snr then connect my phone to the car to use it.

It’s probably the same guy who made the “I did that” Biden stickers.

My wife’s Edge had a faulty backup camera too, but Ford didn’t issue a recall, so I had to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one and install it myself.

They also have defective ABS modules that corrode when in contact with brake fluid. They did issue a recall for it with the Fusion and MKX but not the Edge. Hers lost complete braking pressure while driving because the ABS valves stick open and bypass the line going to the brake calipers. Luckily, she didn’t crash, but once again, I had to shell out $800 to get a new one and spent two days replacing it myself.

Counterpoint is that this recall can be done OTA instead of requiring you to make an appointment and visit a dealership which is a million times more convenient. Your car has had recalls too.
