Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones.

I would raise such hell at the dealership if anything like this happened to me.

But I prefer my cars with NO INTERNET, no touch screens, and very low tech (easier to fix).

One day the official Lemmy client for mobile will support animated pictures and that won't just look like a car parked outside a building.
