    This is what pisses me off about capitalism.

    If they want to make new scam tech data stealing planned obsolescence trash, fine, and idiots can buy that shit. But then they have the audacity to FORCE us all into it by outright destroying anything else.

    Best example, cars. You cannot buy a good car anymore. They are rolling malware that is unfixable by the user and planned to fail. Not to mention, controlled fully by the government/billionaires.

    Thats why ill be keeping all my old cars and repairing them, probably forever, since there will never be a good new car again.

      I sold my 2015 but I kept my 2004. That things fully manual and just keeps going. It’s growing things inside and out from being street parked but there’s no computers, no fobs, no screens.

      I’ll invest thousands keeping that thing going until I can bridge the gap to EV. It still gets 35-45 MPG which is better than what’s out there anyway, even most hybrids

        If only they made an all analog EV. Id get one so fast. No GPS, no screens.

        Its SO EASY to do. They just refuse.

        Guess I can always build my own.

          I’ve been wishing for modular EV parts that can be build it yourself for ages. I’ve been TOLD that the problem is street legality: parts don’t come with a VIN, parts don’t assure required safety systems. It would be amazing, but for street driving we’d need a massive shift in the legal system to accommodate them
