I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

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...

I had a 2023 Elantra, and iirc it had these features for $30 a year after my subscription ended.

These prices are way higher. Seems like every company agreed that subscription = $10(ish) a month, regardless of the actual cost the features justify.

Yeah, but it’s not really worth spending the money to upgrade to the OLED

It’s weird in that most users would value it at $3.99 a month, but the average user also scrolls for several hours a month, with each one of those hours packed with ads.

This equates to way more than $4 in revenue a month.

Isn’t direct storage the windows equivalent?

The US transitioned to SUVs and trucks a long time ago now, so those emissions are already built in

The s23 is basically the same size as the pixel 5.

5 years ago, I would’ve agreed, but it’s pretty good today

Is there anything even wrong with the default Google file manager? It works pretty well from my experience

It’s also privately owned by one guy, so it doesn’t have to submit to investor pressure.

Steam, for example, is basically a monopoly for PC game sales, but hasn’t enshittified because it is privately owned.

It’s probably as good as we are going to get.

The best options would be an open source, donation supported search engine, but the money required to host/develop that is immense.

We are all freeloading off of Lemmy right now, unless you are donating to the people who are running the servers. The cost to run a search engine is much higher though – kagi pays (iirc) double digit cents for each search, even before development costs, with the average user doing 700 searches a month. The costs are way higher.

Look it up

blog.kagi.com/status-update-first-three-months#ka…

It’s $.0125, so 1.25 cents not double digits like I thought. They also average 27 searches per day per user. So an average of 821.25 searches per user per month, meaning a cost of $10.27 per month.
