I went all in so I wouldn’t change my mind but the first year I was pretty nuch entirely problem free. I have had issues since, however. But compared to the work I put in on Windows unfucking things I think its been trivial.

To me the defogger is the heat strips in the rear window/sometimes mirrors. Windscreen I just direct the air at the windscreen.

You don’t think you are being a tad judgemental?

People whose lives revolve around fashion probably think you dress like shit.

People who love food probably think you eat like shit.

People who love cars probably think you are a shit driver.

You probably love computers and care about privacy, and you are shitting on regular users(assumption, admittedly) for not being invested.

They had something that was working, you present noscript, thing no longer works. If you are not invested, how are you going to see the appeal of extra work?

Well that was a reply to someone saying you need AC to blow hot air, which you do not.

Either way me personally I do not need AC.

Aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth in one car, road noise and a single earbud in the other, but usually just road noise.

I do. I drive long stints(6-12h) a lot. It is a non issue.

I’m not ripping on anyone elses way of doing things, just sharing my way of doing things. It is not a personal attack on your world view.

My car doesn’t have one so same diff I guess

My whole narrative was from my perspective and my needs? What is your problem?

edit: I see you are probably misinterpreting the comment chain, the comment is a reply in regards to needing AC for blowing hot air, you do not, just a fan.

Me personally however, I do not need AC. What other people want or need is not discussed…

Boredom leads to poor focus and tiredness and is highly relevant for safely manning a vehicle

I don’t know what is considered a long trip for you but to me it’s 6 hours plus, which I deal with no problems. I just think it makes driving more boring when there’s less stuff to be in control of.

I live far away from my family and my wifes family so we drive a lot of 6-12 hour drives and I always drive the full stint. Doesn’t bother me but I am not everyone.

You do not need AC. We have two cars in the family and neither has AC.

I mention it mostly because my car doesn’t have it.

Meanwhile I am in my 91 with a single DIN cheap aftermarket stereo enjoying Bluetooth

The only features I really want is ABS, Bluetooth and a physical interface. Everything else I would rather not pay for.

I live in Sweden so it’s not like I need AC, I don’t use cruise etc. and most other modern features mainly serve to annoy me.

I am entirely the opposite. I think cruise just makes driving less engaging and more boring.

Ideally I want everything to be manual, I even control every individual wiper swipe a lot of times if I am just driving along on a highway. Less boring, more engaging. Means I am more attentative on the road.

I do however understand I am a minority.

Classic Microsoft move to implement something new, then not let go of the old thing and run them jankily side by side. Settings / Control panel is a prime example.

And at work its janky crossovers between Active Directory and Azure/Intune/Entra/other dumb names.

Being free always raises the question of what they are getting out of you using it. I wouldn’t be entirely comfortable using it.

I wouldn’t wish a Sabaton song on my worst enemy

I think what is a good choice greatly depends on your location, which affects prices, availability, spare parts availability etc.
