Everything is turning into disgusting subscription services. Most recently I saw home printers that required a monthly subscription service in order to print.

So, how long before Windows is a subscription? They have already brought ads into Windows.

Yes, I think I'll sign up for the...hm, the "Casual Gamer" tier, which allows 2 hours per week of gaming. Although I could always watch an ad to unlock 30 more minutes.

Currently driving a 2010, and dreading the day it eventually dies. Simply because it means I’ll lose my physical buttons, and the car will apparently have fart-sniffing sensors built into the seat cushions so the manufacturer can track what I had for my last meal. And disabling that tracking will apparently kill the radio, cruise control, brakes, and power steering.
