Sure, you could work on them, but why the fuck should you have to in the first place? A lot of people still drive cars that need constant repairs.
We're diverging in to different arguments. Anyway, my point is that the only thing you can rely on, in this world, is that nothing is permanent. However, the less transient that something can make itself: the better. The fact is: you can repair old cars that came without computer parts easier and better. That's just pure and unadulterated fax, right there. They came, out of the box, easier to repair. My gold-standard example is: the replaceable smartphone battery. It's just an intentional choice to fuck the consumer, for no other reason than profit. They're literally making products shittier, because they know you have no other choice than to buy their shitty products, with a big dumb fucking smile on your face.

Absolutely. But if you don't have to repair the computerized car, does it matter?

I think it was more sinister than that: I think the purpose of non-removable batteries is so you can never turn your surveillance device off. Sure, you can push a button that makes the screen stop responding to touch and turns the speaker off, but is it really OFF? I doubt it.

All the more reason to be weary.
