I feel like BMW charging a monthly subscription for the heated seats in the car should’ve been enough to stop anyone from buying their new cars, but they continue to sell!

I think that name is DecentGuyHumor
I had a G4 that I liked pretty well, until after about 18 months it inevitably stopped working well, like all my early Android handsets. My Pixel 2 was my first phone to make it to 3 years (although Google did have to do a warranty replacement 20 months in) and it was still good but stopped getting security updates. The Pixel 2 being good ironically lead me to iPhones. I looked at my stepdaughter using a 6-year-old phone that still got updates, still could easily get parts for repairs locally, and started to wonder why I was spending hundreds of dollars buying a new phone every couple years.
Is real estate that crazy in Ann Arbor that $7 million for 5,000 sq.ft. makes sense?
Some of it might make sense if it was an older, historic home, but this was built in 2002!
IIRC it was Verizon; Motorola and eventually a couple other manufacturers would sell the same phones under different names in other countries.
I think they wouldn’t lower the hose until you’d paid, or put down some deposit.
Coaxial cable can come in different sizes, somewhat related to how strong the signal you want to carry is. First time I was in a TV transmitter I saw a lot of copper pipes running across the ceiling, maybe 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. I asked what the pipes were for and was told they weren’t pipes, they were coaxial cables. Turns out when you need to carry 30,000 watts of RF the cable needs to get a little bigger. Still 75 ohms resistance!
IIRC this was partly to prevent driving off without paying?
Didn’t some cultures do that?
