I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.
I kind of hate infotainment systems anyway. I just want a mounted screen to cast Apple Drive Mode or whatever it's called. The default GUI they put there is fucking awful. I tried to use the inbuilt GPS once and actually gave up and just went on a spiritual journey instead. Surely it can't be that complicated just to have essentially a mounted iPad?
Great to hear that cars can be saved though. I was worried I'd have to sell my perfectly good car because I want an electric motor… I was thinking like, the rest of the car is fine it doesn't need to be trashed at all
