They should be, smh. We should start writing to our reps.

Subaru offer a certain set of keys for it iirc. Their software is absolute garbage though. Either get an older model or one with physical AC controls.

Who cares? It's not like any of us are losing money on it. And Nintendo/game freak aren't exactly known for their incredible iterative game designs. People have been bitching about Pokémon becoming a cashgrab since like...heartgold, hahah.

I wish Nintendo would go out on a limb like their era with Blue rescue team. I miss the deeper storylines and more personal atmosphere.

That would be fine with me too. I think every two would be my sweet spot if it was something like spotify.

Did anyone actually read the article? The only guy whose question wasn't already answered by the article was the one about yellowed plastics, lol.

The 'hardware' is also $30 crap you can buy off eBay or wholesalers usually. Some of the modern ones even overheat because they are so poorly constructed, lol. I love the little "Designed with ❤️ in Philadelphia. Made in China" tagline on the label with the implied "Overheats in any climate above 40F indoors" just afterwards, lol. Comcast quality.

Subscriptions with a dead man's switch. If you don't signal you want to keep the subscription after a few years, it's automatically cancelled. You can sign up at the same price you left with if it cancels automatically.

God, hearing them squirm is almost making me horny. Please keep them groveling at the feet of the FTC. I reallllly wouldn't mind hearing this for a few years at least.

...Funny how whenever Republicans are in power, we get dickheads like Ajit Pai do absolutely nothing, arging that his hands are tied. But when democrats get voted in, the FTC starts drafting rules like being able to cancel a bill with a single click instead of fighting on the phone for 3½ hours with a bullshit sales rep until you have to threaten to sue them in order to cancel your internet or cable package. It's really funny how that works.

I remember trying it and disliking it. Wasn't very good, which seems to be echoed by other users. :p

It used to not be the case, but as of the past decade or so, it seems like more and more software is getting lower quality or substantially bug ridden. Not just on windows either. It's everything now.

Back in the day, each update used to fix bugs, add genuinely useful features, and were eagerly anticipated. Now, I get to do lovely things like RMA a bricked steam deck on stable channel or listen to New Teams' ringer doubling, once before a call is picked up, and ringing again after the phone is answered. I wish I was joking for either of these.

I legitimately bring hearing protection to any Nolan films and any "Dolby cinema" branded theaters, as that's code for "we just turn the volume up until every word is painful for anyone under 65"

Even with in-ear stuff meant for the range, I can hear the films clearly because they are so loud, lol.

The console and its software were so incredibly well designed. Different era of design. I really miss it. Now everything is filled with bugs and ads.
