Some cars even have a separate zone for the rear. However I’ve only seen that on touch screen models, so they can suck a dick.

Hard disagree. Physical buttons with a digital temperature and split controls for left and right (and maybe rear as well). Automatic climate control that also does the fans. I had all of this on a car in 2010, and it was perfect - I could just leave the temperature set at what I wanted all the time, and the fans would blow hard if it needed to heat or cool significantly to get there.
Some manufacturer’s, eg Volvo, don’t automatically adjust the fans, which is wank. But nothing is as wank as touch screen controls - I fucking hate it when you’re trying to aim at a button, then as you go in to press the car bumps and you completely miss.

Yes, but you have those as physical objects. This is an app you must run on your phone.

It’s worse than that.
You have to run a government app on your phone. The tracking device in your pocket that goes with you everywhere, that must run government code.

And Microsoft Activation Script will license it permanently.

Oh the irony of sitting back on Win 10 being what saves people from the issue.

(Software) Piracy is not theft, by definition. Theft requries an intent to deprive, and copyright infringement does not deprive. Theft is a crime, copyright infringement is a civil offense (aside from the criminal version that now exists thanks to extensive lobbying by predatory rights holder organisations, but that has a slightly higher bar and is meant only for commercial pirates who profit).

It’s a good job car mechanics use filthy language anyway, or they’d be in trouble.

You’re right, this is more of an issue with your purchase not being complete. I think your legal remedies would either be through your card provider (probably too late) or civil action directly to Rockstar.

Yes but the financial ombudsman regulates financial services.

- Comment on The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement 2 months ago:
Also the actual roses were in the bushes on the side.
I’m pretty sure they did actually get rid of a lot of the flowers anyway and got rid of things they shouldn’t have, but the layout of it isn’t so drastically changed and the lawn can easily be replaced.
