    Depends if it allows you to drive it. Doubt that since the speedo and other info are on the inaccessible screen

    If a car with internet connection needs constant update to keep it drivable, it IS a fatal flaw and need to be fixed via recalling.
    The fixed car should be continue to be drivable even without any further update after that

    You know what let’s just say cars should not need to be updated

    The fact that people show off their money and their expensive things, online or physically. It's irritating.

    I also hate tryhards in first-person shooter video games, especially those tryhard Snipers on Team Fortress 2 who keep shooting at you within seconds without any chance to react, trash talking, insulting, and shouting insults at other players for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I've dealt with several tryhards on TF2 community servers most of the time, especially in trade servers. They actually make me so mad I'd just stick to casual servers. It's frustrating.

    But I like showing off the things I've bought though, especially amongst other people who also show off the things they've bought (since I'm usually in circles with collectors and such).
    Although I rarely discuss any prices for such things as I feel it improper to talk about money, unless someone were to specifically ask of course.

    I understand you irritation however, it can be a little too much sometimes when people become hyper-focused on the value of items and money. Money talk sure can ruin a lot of things and it is far more common in America than it is here in England.

    Everything pre mid '90s, just utter crap those things are, right from the start of the 48-215 to the VL

    Edit: Any one who likes those things or think they are the coolest whatever aren't in the brightest demography either, though i will be a hypocrite and admit a soft spot for the HG Monaro GTS 253, the only car they ever got right

    Bought an Xbox controller and immediately HATED it before even playing a game. WORST CHOICE AT 2024 NEW YEAR

    The package contains a Regulatory Guide that has a whopping 79 pages with lots of information to please the legislators all over the world.
    1.jpg 2.jpg

    There's also a manual-ish thing that has only ONE page with very little, if any, useful information. I mean, everyone with a working brain knows how to connect the cables and browse the internet. It doesn't even shows the the founction of 3 button at the center, or how to place the battery.
    3.jpg

    An "Xbox Game Pass" is also included. Among those lines are "Credits card required. Unless you cancel, you will be charged the then-current regular membership rate when the promotional period ends." These letters are so small that a magnification glass might be required if your eyesight isn't very good. I found it predatory since many will forget to cancel, people with poor self-control, lack of energy, forgetful and burnt out are particularly vulnerable.

    Later I found that it does not even include any battery, to use it wirelessly, either use disposable AA battery or purchase an expensive($29.95) rechargable battery pack(can't use on other devices means more e-waste).

    These are malpractices. It's clear that Micro$oft doesn't care about its customers

    I agree. What is supposed to be an easy task, is made overly complicated due to anti-consumer practises. And yeah, Microsoft don't care about their customers, they only want to please investors as much as possible.

    I also hate the fact that Windows Update likes to force updates that are not even compatible with my computer at all in the first place. I even have to run services.msc every time I start up my computer just to stop Windows Update from doing its job.

    I found additional malpractice. The Xbox controller only "remembers" one PC. I have two PCs, everytime I play with another PC, I have to "remove device" and pair the PC with the controller again. This is a manufactured inconvenience and it lead to people buying additional controllers.

    The fact that Nissan discontinued the V6 Maxima. Now one less car with an actually good engine (and most likely following the Altima having a problematic KR20 or worse being a full on EV).

    CVT is actually OP when you reached some speed in the first place (ie after 50-60 MPH), sluggish in acceleration due to time reaching the peak powerband.

    I mean, it's only natural. Not sure how it effects fuel economy though, is it really that bad? :p

    Maybe avoid foods that make you gassy? idk, seems pretty simple to me. /s

    I hate it when you scroll past a video on an article and it shows up at the top of the screen but the X is literally one pixel in size
