I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

Anyone find a source or proof on this having happened?

It's a printer, and for fucks sake, BMW is locking you out of certain features of their cars if you don't pay per month.

Telsa cars will drive themselves out of your house if you miss a payment.

Ford is doing this as well.

Ford’s patent document also mentioned playing annoying audio meant to bother drivers dodging payments.

The patent filing also clarified that late payments might result in a driver given partial access to their vehicle during the week so they can earn money for financing, Insider reports.

Sounds like they want to be in court a lot. There's no way any of that is safe.

Oh yeah. How long until the vehicle repossesses itself when a child is in the car? The lawsuits would be massive.

Why are they getting patents for stuff like that? I thought patents were for mechanical inventions only, not new money schemes to stop others from doing the same so you're known for that scheme?

Ford’s patent application mentions the possibility of payment plans for financially struggling drivers and exceptions for when a person is hospitalized or out of the country.

This is some dystopian shit right here.

Same thing happened to my mom's HP except that they sent her the wrong cartridges so she closed her account. They bricked her printer. I bought her a Brother.
