    Like most Chinese products I wouldn’t trust their quality or their customer support, and would expect the thing to spy on me 24/7.

        I plan to rip out the power to internet in any future car I get. Cars shouldn’t have to connect to the internet

      You do realise that anything made in the USA or even sold to be used in the western world has the CIA sucking it all up.

      Like sure China are gonna spy but let’s not pretend the USA, UK, Australia, and Israel ain’t spying on us all.

        So why hail them as some revolutionary?

          What, modern cars and almost everything else? Who’s hailing general enshitification and literally everything we do being consumed as monetizable data points as “revolutionary”?

      The Ora Funky Cat had an issue where it would not terminate charging consistently before unlocking the charging cable, leading to customers being greeted by a loud bang when disconnecting the cable.

        On the bright side, if they weren’t completely awake before, they would be afterwards.

      In my experience, Chinese products are way better and more affordable than American ones.

      Buying American is just a scam to fool people with more money than sense.

      Mark Twain was right.

          I was specifically thinking about products I got on Amazon.

          Headphones, especially. It really cemented in my mind that most “audiophiles” are just idiots with more money than sense trying to fit in with the same.

          That’s fine.

          Spend your money how you want.
