    That’s exactly the argument they and their bootlickers will use too. “we need it to run infrastructure!!!” they wouldnt have to run infrastructure if they didnt gut features from their products. Like the whole Toyota remote start subscription crap. “They need the subscription to run the servers so you can start your car from anywhere” but you can no longer use classic radio remote start which doesn’t require servers

      so you can start your car from anywhere

      I am a bit out of the loop in this drama. In which universe would someone want to start their car “from anywhere”? Is there any legit use case?

        “From anywhere” may be an exaggeration, but remotely starting your car is very common in Canadian winters. Start it up 5-10 minutes before you leave the house or the office, and it’s nice and toasty by the time you get in. You can also do it if you’re at the mall, for example.
