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.
Wouldn’t a company VPN bypass all that even though you are using your own internet connection to connect to the outside world?
Can’t install extensions on a work machine but you can add a network wide blocker?
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.
*parking brake not emergency brake. Most of these ratchet down and wouldn’t be very useful in an emergency since they’d just cause your rear wheels to lock up and lose traction.
So do brakes.
There’s still side mirrors, no? If you’ve ever seen a semi, those are 60 feet long, weigh 80,000lbs and back up without a rear view mirror or backup camera. Acting like this is an issue that’s going to kill people is a bit absurd.
It very clearly says it’ll be using your work hours and location information. MS is turning your hardware into a GPS tracker for your company.
5A is the max rating for USB-C. What you’re looking at is probably a 5A cable with a “10A” molded into the connector in true sketchy knockoff fashion.
To answer OP, USB-C connectors are often used outside of phones/tablets like with hobby electronics like boards to control LED strips that could benefit from more current. Unless this cable is super thick, there’s little chance it can actually handle 10A and even if it can, the connectors aren’t rated for that much current.
So Amazon gets to be the sole distributor of printer paper, the manufacturer is some old growth harvestor in the Amazon using prison/slave labor for harvesting/processing, and even then you’re paying more for a worse product than when a well regulated and unionized workforce was producing the commodity a decade earlier.
That doesn’t really make sense in this context as this paper is made by Canon not Amazon. You could make the argument that Canon is using rainforest paper, but then the rest of this kind of falls apart.
I was already an adult when T9 was still a thing and never texted like this. I could write out full sentences while my phone was still in my pocket.
If you do this, I would be fully prepared to lose access to all your Google services along with anyone else who may use Google services on the same IP. Gmail, Play store, Chrome, etc, etc can easily be wiped out with a ban from Google and this can seriously fuck people’s day up if they’ve used Gmail and have 2FA setup on any external account.
And if they do skimp on maintenance and upgrades and the plant melts down, we can be assured that no harm will come to the company because the scale of the disaster would wipe them out and they’re “too big to fail.”
Our tariffs aren’t there to protect local brands they protect every foreign brand in the US too which make up 2/3 of the market.
Bruh, you’re literally defending a country who just made a bunch of people unwitting suicide bombers in a foreign country and injured thousands for political purposes. This is terrorism
AliExpress clone but you can only use it after installing their app on your phone.
If they had something better, don’t you think they’d be putting it out front and center? This is akin to all those conspiracy theorists claiming they have proof to back their claims but they just can’t show it to you right now but it’s definitely coming at some indeterminate time in the future.
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.
