@cvwarren@m.ai6yr.org @baardhaveland@snabelen.no @obucate@bildung.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr This is why we can't have nice things. Used to be when tech in a car got obsolete, you could get aftermarket replacements, or at the very least, a nice cassette tape adapter to plug your MP3 player into your car.
No excuses for why they couldn't have allowed for wifi connections other than forcing consumers to pay for a subscription.

@baibold@mastodon.social I had a 2019 Hyundai ioniq a few years ago. Awesome car, but not online. But it DID support wifi so I could get updates for both software and the map. This also allowed me to use my phone as an access point to get GPS traffic info while driving. Why isn't this a thing any more? 😢
