What did you to there? Get drunk and talk nonsense? Legitimate issues were raised, software fails all the time due to bugs. If you consider this an imaginary problem you probably have no idea what people are discussing about in this thread, and by replying with some crap about the Chinese you are not really making clear that you have no idea what people are discussing about in this thread.
I'd say you are welcome to get this subscription yourself but the truth is that, as many have already said, this shouldn't be allowed, to protect idiots that don't see this as a problem and could end up dying so that a corporation can make a couple bucks more. You are welcome.
Has THIS software failed in over three years of sales? Have these airbags failed anymore than the literal hundreds of thousands of computer controlled air bags sold in cars every day? How is the recent air bags recall that was caught any different than the ones in the in the mid 90s?
Same reasoning that idiot of my mate does. He's never got any girls pregnant by pulling out so he's happy to continue. Also, you should give Russian roulette a go, it can be fun.
Hardware recalls happen but are rare and in between. Software bugs, for something dependent on checking something over an internet connection? Yeah not thanks. And the fact that it hasn't failed yet doesn't mean the new version that goes out in a rush next week will not be buggy, enshittification and all.
Listen to the software enginees in this thread they know what they are talking about. Plus basic human decency: a life shouldn't be saved or not based on wether a subscription has been paid, we can be better than this as a species, and should expect more from regulations around business.
👌👍 just continue to ignore the current data
Current "data" means fuck all. The fact that they haven't had a serious bug, or that it hasn't occurred while the device needed to deploy is not an indicator that there won't be problems, sorry doesn't work that way.
