Imagine having to jailbreak your fucking car. Holy fucking dystopia. Companies keep trying to force the subscription bullshit. Annoying as hell.

Just wait, the next will be the car lobby lobbying to make unlocking your cars features without paying unsafe and not road legal. The DMCA section 1201 needs to die if ownership rights are to survive.

I don't want to live life on subscriptions.

I want to disrespect the very thought of currency itself.

Subscriptions are like watching fucking money and ask for an orgy.
