Just buy an old Japanese Honda or Toyota and keep it running forever. No one needs a "new" cat at this point.

Edit: car not cat but leaving it for lols.

The NCAP score for these should be -5, no way that is safe!

Turning everything you use into a fucking ads platform is peak capitalism. Burn it with fire.

We need laws on how intrusive ads are allowed to be. Advertising is out of control. Personally, whenever I see an ad too many times, I make sure to avoid purchasing that item or anything from that company. You're trying too hard to sell me junk.

But then line stops going up, or *shutters at the thought, it could go down

"how intrusive" ?

We need laws to ban any sort of tracking, profile generation, etc.

Bring back contextual ads. If I'm on a gaming website show me a gaming ad ffs.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True. Also we need to regulated the spaces that the ads can occupie. Or the possibility that "sky is a billboard" might happen becomes too high

"You know all those fake games you keep seeing?! We turned it into a real one that you can actually play! Oh, maybe I can get this machine gun!"

I just bought a Toyota and they locked a lot of features behind an app with a monthly fee, absolute fucking pricks. The whole auto industry is going to shit.

Seeing as cars and computers are increasingly shared platforms, where is the car-hacking community? As distinct from the car-optimizing or car-modding communities.

where is the car-hacking community?

In jail

Is this real? I'd jail break my car immediately if this happened.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'd take it back and demand a full refund. This is a dangerous, irresponsible product that does not fulfil the purpose it was marketed for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No. Demand a cut of the ad revenue as they are using your property as a billboard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But I don't want the ad revenue. I want my car not to advertise to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

True. I don't either. I want the bullshit to stop.

I can deal with ad when watching TV or YouTube. But ads in the car, even while stopped, is just begging for someone to get killed. Will never even consider getting a jeep. I'm probably gonna have to get a new car in a couple of years and I want something new, but dumb. I want as little smart shit as possible, which is probably not going to be a thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Agreed. Designing in a feature that presents users with something that's deliberately designed to be as distracting and attention grabbing as possible during a time when they should have their undivided attention on driving is asking for trouble.

On that note, LED billboards run up along the side of roads should be illegal and at very least have dimmers to prevent them from blinding drivers at night.

i can't! i really hate ads, they're so loud and obnoxious, they're like jump scares every time they come on! ugh! this car would be like my idea of a nightmare!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Those are full page ads with audio. It's amazing how you can disregard that.

It ain't right.

But i also don't get why people are still buying Jeeps? Most cursory search while doing research for a new vehicle should bring up red flags quick.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s a kink thing you wouldn’t understand

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

No, that's an engine knock

They wave to each other! Owners of Jeeps wave to each other, as if you say, "look we're both suckers together." Look up Jeep owners waving.

You're making the mistake of viewing a car as a reliable means of transport and not a way to show off how cool and rugged you are.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would never buy a jeep anyways, but thanks for the warning,

The best thing about Saint Luigi is that one doesn't have to endorse an incel eco-fascist like Teddy K to call for "direct action."

Wait until Musk gets permission to use their Neuralink chips world wide!

Just Stellantis doing Stellantis things.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Somewhat related to how bad it is at that company right now:

Yesterday my brother and I drove by a brand new Jeep Wrangler (had a new car plate) that looked like a 24 or 25 that was burnt to the ground from the engine (my guess as the burning was much worse there than the cabin.) Emergency services were there still putting water on the engine bay but the ambulances were already gone. Hopefully everyone is okay.
