@arstechnica Wow. I might have found my next auto. Current ride: 2008 Mazda 2 door with 4 on the floor
@arstechnica that’s actually awesome
@arstechnica I'll believe it when I see it.
@arstechnica I have an old (2009) Ninetendo DS and I like it because there's no internet communication on it. I kept my Mac all-in-one from 2010 because I could play Hoyle's games on it without connecting to the damn internet.
I looked for a new backup machine but couldn't find one that didn't f connect to the internet... So, I still have my old one.
@arstechnica "we are collecting the data but not selling it" is not the huge selling point they seem to think it is. Now, if a company truly went analog, I think there wil be a huge market for the product.
If.
