The question is, what alternative are we going to have, if all auto makers start doing this?

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

I just want a vehicle made like they used to be made. No computer chips and physical handles I have to turn to get the window down. An entire vehicle I can fix myself when things break down.

It shouldn't be a hard ask, but here we are... Overly complex shit, with many features no one needs.

No computer at all? Gonna have to track down something with a carburetor and hope it still runs. The newest you're gonna find is a 1991 Oldsmobile.

It's a wish, not a "where can I find it" thing.

It would be nice if the option was made available.

Not a car, but you can buy a new Suzuki DR650 that has a carburetor. At least in 2023.

You know the war that's being fought by developers against YouTube?

Now imagine that same energy directed towards car companies.

I guarantee you the moment this becomes a thing, there will be jailbreaking and a whole industry dedicated to making sure people know how to get all the benefits that their car has installed but not enabled.

Because if buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.

Buy base model ones that don't have all that shit anyway and install aftermarket?
