    Hey that’s me! I actually specifically bought a 2019 kia because it has less digital controls than the 2021 they had for the same price.

      Oh, yes! I was thinking why someone would do that, but cars are a very good example. I wouldn’t want a smart car that can’t drive without an internet connection, or an android tv that pushes ads on every menu option. I choose the “dumb tech”

        Im not kidding one bit when I say, “We need open source Vehicle & Engine Manage System software and hardware!”

        I want to be able to flash my Car’s ECU with custom FOSS software. Yes, you can already replace the ECU with custom tuneing opetions that cost an arm and a leg. I want there to be Open Source Software and Hardware for consumer vehicles!
