They do have the license for wrc and I don't like it.

Well EA is done now. It was already down hill, bad Linux support.
EA is now fully over.

EA is worse
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 4 days ago:
OK that sounds promising. It's not like EA which will break Linux on every game due to kernel level anti-cheat.

OK ok.. Does it run on Linux?

Haha yes. My bad.
- Comment on FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper 4 weeks ago:
FFmpeg is one of the most unrated software on Linux. It's so important for the ecosystem very widely used. And you most likely barely notice it.
Just like curl.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 5 weeks ago:
I agree. They are using only plastic everywhere at this point.
It's also a nano plastic nightmare at this point.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 5 weeks ago:
Indeed. It's always the same story. So don't get fooled people. You have been warned!

Agreed. Although that is true for 80% of the threads posted in this category.

- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Sorry my bad. It was indeed 45000 euros. It's insane.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Just a life time subscription as this. See attachment.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
The moment I bought my id3 they never informed me about this subscription model. Soon I also need to pay if I want to keep my app working for my car, like enabling the airco via the app.
I already paid around 14000-15000 euros for this car. And now I suddenly also need to pay subscriptions? It's not only a subscription for 'increase power'.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
I will never buy a vw again, that is a fact.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Exactly. I actually own the vw id3. And I'm furious about it. I paid like 14000 euros. And now I need to buy soon an additional subscription, for.. to keep remote access available for enabling the airco via the app.
So it's much more then just subscription for 'increase power'.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
It's all proprietary code. But in theory you could unlock the full potential if not more. If you can recreate their software. Ideally then also open source it please.
