Yeah, you need subscriptions for heated seats and stuff now. Plus people moaning the car firmware wanted to update while they was out and it wouldn't let them drive it. Parts are being "paired" to the car now so you can only use genuine parts... Likely next, brake pads not been changed every 1,000 miles, so car refuses to drive. But don't worry, the manufacture has a subscription so your "never left out in the cold". We already have that kinda BS with printer ink.

Have an electric parking brake motor fault on your Hyundai?

That'll be £5K please... Part, £25, fitting £100, £4900 to reset the flag in the car's firmware. (I joke not.)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
