I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

jjlinux,

Very personal opinion of mine, I hate subscription crap. However, I have to agree that, based on what you say, Subaru’s cost is much easier to digest than Hyundai/Kia POS.

jjlinux,

Keep us posted on make and model. I sure as hell will try to get one myself and help you test the shit out of that jailbreak.

jjlinux,

Not 1 person here has mentioned that it doesn’t work. Not 1 person here has said that the “feature” is useless or anything remotely similar.

What is in question here is the fucking pushing of companies to tie as many idiots as humanly possible to their subscriptions to keep on draining funds from them.

Give me the car for free, and maybe I’ll subscribe. Otherwise, I buy stuff with ALL it’s capabilities enabled or not at all.

My car is worth US$85,000 in my country. Everything works, app and all, and I don’t have to pay anything other than my loan, insurance, maintenance and charge (yes, it’s an electric vehicle).

I own a 2023 BYD Han, I have an account for the app, and I can do whatever it’s able to do from it without ever having to open my wallet again.

If and when they decide to make this a paid subscription, then I’ll sell that one, and move on.

So, yeah, follow a bullshit advertisement that you call a “tutorial” and believe what you want. They are just like drug pushers, only for tech.

Now who is the one making fucking noise without looking a things from a common sense perspective?

jjlinux,

Because you actually believe you didn’t already paid for about 5 years of the service when you paid for the car? Human stupidity and laziness is the accurate reason for manufacturers doing this.

jjlinux,

When you buy the car, you also pay for that integrated, albeit disable, service. To enable it you have to pay a subscription. I agree with the OP. This should never be the case. Now, the culprit is not the car manufacturer, but the people that pay for it. If nobody, or aven few people, paid for this, they wouldn’t have a business for that and they would likely stop. Bottom line is, you don’t like it? Give your money to another brand.

jjlinux,

You keep mentioning “official video by (insert manufacturer name here)”. Are you even thinking when you say that? It’s the manufacturer, what the hell were you expecting them to promote? “were fucking you over, so here’s why you have to give us more money for a car that you think is yours but actually will never be”?

jjlinux,

Finally, the voice (text) of reason.

Thank you!

jjlinux,

Ok, enough. At this point it’s too evident that you’re a troll paid for by Hyundai. You’ll be out of a job soon, since this will no longer be effective.

jjlinux,

Wao, most insightful post in a long time. Love it.

jjlinux,

This is about degoogling, so, why are you even bringing that up here? Isn’t the whole point of degoogling to NOT use Google crap?

jjlinux,

Thanks for letting me know. It’s never worked on any FS other than BTRFS for me, I’ll give it another shot.

jjlinux,

Another problem is that most manufacturers of laptops directed at the Linux crowd, for some reason I will never understand, insist on punching Nvidia hardware instead of AMD/ATI. How does that help?

jjlinux,

As long as your file system is on BTRFS, timeshift is, I O, the easiest backup app for Linux, specially if you’re just getting your feet wet in it.

Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

I am trying to slowly de-Google-ify myself by moving to open source apps, I wanna ditch google notes and evernote. I tried obsidian, standard notes, and joplin, I liked using obsidian on PC and standard notes looks nice on android but obsidian you need to pay to have sync and standard notes doesn’t do markdown unless you pay...

jjlinux,

You can, in theory, use the notes on ProtonPass. I use Joplin, and regardless of the fact that the UI could be more user Fri, I believe it is currently the best FLOSS option out there.

jjlinux,

Nobody, other than you and them, cares. Have a good day.

jjlinux,

But not “everything”, which is the point.

jjlinux,

This is one of many reasons why I’m selling my Kindle Paperwhite and getting a Pocketbook Ink Pad 3 Color. Amazon is the Apple of retail, which drips down to even the ebooks. I do, however, have to consider my wife’s comfort when ordering stuff, but otherwise, ready to pull the plug on Bezoz and his gang.

jjlinux,

Since you’ve been on Ubuntu, I would suggest Debian. The commands are pretty much the same across the board, and it’s one of the most stable distros in the wild.

jjlinux,

This has got to be 1 of the top 10 comments on “why Linux and not BSD?”

  • “Because I need to use some apps that only run in Windows.”
  • “Why not just use Windows?”
  • “Because (insert any excuse, valid or not)!”

It is, indeed, a funny time to be alive, haha!

jjlinux,

Remember that Desktop and Server editions are very different in terms of stability. Ubuntu has got to be one of the, if not the, most widely used linux distros for servers, that’s where the money is really in for them, so it’s more deeply tested before release to the public at large, but in my experience, in the last decade or so, Ubuntu is painfully lacking on too many fronts in it’s desktop versions.
