This an American thing? This is exactly what happens in the UK.
That's my secret, I always sign off my emails as "Regards".
The key differences is utilities you're paying for the generation & maintenance of key resources - without gas, water and electricity we wouldn't be able to survive. Road tax you're helping to pay for the renewal and upkeep of the road surface (among other local services)... Left alone the road will degrade & will become unusable.
Suspension as a Service is milking what should be a perpetual cost when purchasing the vehicle. If the hardware is already installed, it should be available for the owner to use. They're not paying for the upkeep of the vehicle, or even ensuring the suspension remains functional... All they've done is placed the function behind a pay wall. They can argue they're maintaining the software, but it's utter bullshit and I hate the fact this has become a norm within B2B (for example network appliances)
At least with luxury subscriptions such as Spotify, Netflix, NYT, etc you're getting access to their content, which they renew. Here you get access to something you should have had access to from day 1.
"Why would you need local storage when you have the cloud!" ~Google, probably
Because since 2016 they've learnt there is zero consequences for such actions. In fact, even when there is bad publicity, their fan base is more like a cult following and supports them more.
All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.
Perhaps the racist chanting and the nazi salutes have something to do with it. Who knows!
It wouldn't stop against volumetric attacks...
They'd still fully consume the WAN bearer regardless of Crowdsec protecting the endpoint. For that you need a scrubbing centre to dump the traffic onto.
Looking at the coach configurations & pantographs, I think it's actually 4.
For a cable network, which by their own admission is an "entertainment" show and no "reasonable viewer" would take them seriously...
Why are they even allowed to host political debates?
Same stance the UK Post Office took with Horizon. A fucking stupid stance...
