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 it ?

    Oh you were seriously asking? It allows me to unlock the car from my couch when my wife wants to get something out the car real quick. Or i don’t wanna carry my keys around.
    I can also start the A/C 30 minutes before i leave so i dont have to freeze to death in winter.

      I don’t know what makes you think I wasn’t asking, and I still don’t understand what you think a strawman is, but thank you for actually answering the question.

      Personally I can think of better uses for $150 a year then “I don’t like having keys in my pocket/near the door” but I guess there’s a reason we keep seeing more companies trying to profit off subscriptions…

        It’s a basic convenience/status in exchange for money.
        You wanna control your house from your phone? Sure, pay me for the effort of keeping all that shit secure.
        I like convenience, that’s why i eat out 6 days a week.
