Things cost stuff.
Except Bio-Dome, that's free. Basic economics says that price approaches marginal cost of production.
The Kia Niro is pretty close, although if you're really serious about making it dumb you'll need to pull the cellular modem. It doesn't depend on any internet services, but it does connect to the internet to get nearby charger data.
Or you know. Lemmy!!
Until Canada tries to enforce this law against Lemmy instances.
The lessons of the 20th century have mostly been forgotten. Re-learning them is going to be very expensive - not just in money, but in lives.
The issue isn't whether the "company cares".
It's whether they end users fix your own problems, or force you into techno-feudalism where the only way to get a problem fixed is to hope the company cares enough to fix it for you.
The simplest example of Nvidia completely failing here is old hardware support. AMD cards doesn't have that problem because the drivers are open source and upstream. These new Nvidia drivers don't sound like they'll help - they're not maintainable and therefore not upstreamable.

- Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
- ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
