I just cancelled my cable when I realized that I only ever watched 4 channels, and all but one of my shows were available online.

Buying a house was probably the single worst decision I’ve ever made.

The only way this works is if there’s a robust trade in aftermarket, open source computers which can be used to replace the stock vehicle computer.
