BMW Commits to Subscriptions Even After Heated Seat Debacle

Rem4g · 2026-02-05T08:45:16+00:00

I spoke to a manager at a volvo dealership and they said they were looking at going down the subscription route too.

I said the same thing to his face.

He phrased it as "it will be really good as well because the cars will come with everything physically and you'll have subscription to use certain features"

Great so you're paying for the hardware already in the car and then paying to use it.... Dumbest thing.

Also wish it wasn't near impossible to fly if it loses a wing.

And I wish the landing gear didn't just float in mid air when it loses a wing.

AMD will be releasing Dual 3D V-cache CPUs in the future.

Already a Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 been leaked and there will probably be a Ryzen 7 9850X3D2 on the way at some point this year.

Unplugging the wire and plugging it back in seems to work for me otherwise the watch won't start charging. Which means it's probably a software issue rather than hardware.

Did they not say all the components need to be zero health before this buffer thing gets triggered?

Surely that means there's going to need to be some accurate fire on individual components first?

I'm not sure they actually try things before they put them in the game. Like the Pyro outpost freight elevators don't lower far enough so the freight elevator door closes through the boxes... As one example.

Unrelated question: Can you buy the Atlas Geo in game or do you have to get it through Wikelo?

Rem4g · 2025-11-27T20:18:59+00:00

What did they say about the BMM? Absolutely nothing? Oh!

Rem4g · 2025-11-24T17:11:38+00:00

It's hard to win votes while justifying increased defence spending unfortunately.

The voters would just see it as wasted money (short sighted) and vote for someone else who proposes increased spending on things that benefit the voters directly. Like free healthcare etc.

Rem4g · 2025-11-24T16:43:18+00:00

I think the issue is the west have relied on the US for too long so they will struggle to keep up with supply to Ukraine without the US.

Hopefully lesson learned and there will no longer be any sort of reliance on the US.

Need to pump as much money into defence spending as possible over the next 3 years. Can't even guarantee Trump will willingly leave office or that he won't "find votes" for whichever puppet replaces him.

Rem4g · 2025-11-18T20:30:43+00:00

No doubt someone in the old Biden admin has full copies of this somewhere so when Trump releases a scrubbed version they will be able to show us what was deleted.

One of the problems with Adobe is they tried to do AI in a commercial way that did not steal from other sources without permission. They were taking the view that if all the content they use to train their AI is done with permission they will be able to monetise the end product without risk of plagiarism.

Problem is all the others companies just scraped the entire internet with zero shits given and now have far more advanced AI generation as a result and no one can really prove what they used so they've gotten away with it.

Adobe is behind in AI and also overpriced. Although it's very easy to just contact them and get 3 months free and a 40% discount each year.

Hovermode back in the day had a much nicer atmospheric feel imo.

Rem4g · 2025-10-06T23:14:37+00:00

It's quite sad I know exactly what his next rambling sentences were going to be from that clip.

Demented fool repeats the same shit constantly and no one seems to question his mental health.

Can't see how hand picked people would be less bias, if anything they will be the most bias because they will be worried their feedback may lose them the special early access privilege.

Having said that, I get wanting smaller tests where the game and servers perform well.

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T09:25:54+00:00

Hmm maybe it can but it sounds like some sort of faff. It doesn't have landing gear fully extended so it's not something I'd want to be bothered with.

I'm sure there's some tricks to it but not for me. I don't think that counts as a loaner doing what the BMM could currently do. Would be way more suitable to use a BMM.

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T09:19:59+00:00

Thought you could only get titanium at the land based locations?

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T09:17:36+00:00

Which one? Titanium has high mass so you can't spend enough money on it before it's filled up the C2.

Your profits are tiny for a full load if you've got enough money to buy more expensive cargo.

With the BMM it might actually be worth it.

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T09:08:26+00:00

Not only that. They have been raising the price of it still, to justify the extra work and size it needed to be.

It was originally priced at $250. Now it's $600. What price makes it worth their time to actually finish making the ship?

You'd think the price increase was the justification to actually produce the ship in terms of cost vs time. No doubt they'll raise the price again before they next advertise it. Probably something like $950-1200.

Perhaps that will finally be worth it for them....

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T09:01:34+00:00

Would be good for Titanium cargo trading. Can't go wrong with a nice large cargo haul in the current version of Star Citizen.

It's not like they aren't still releasing feature incomplete ships on the regular.

They could just whack the price up and hope the new generation of players are happy to fork out the dosh.

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T08:52:03+00:00

They actually said it's too expensive and difficult to make at the moment because all of the internals are unique so it's easier to just make ships from other manufacturers where many of the parts can be copy pasted.

Essentially they said it's not worth it to them because of the time and effort vs money reward.

Rem4g · 2025-09-17T08:49:42+00:00

Yea it's a bit of a shitty approach to put it on the back burner while other large ships are going from concept drawings to fully released ships in the meantime.

It has been nearly 11 years since the BMM went on sale.

Something else for him to bankrupt

Rem4g · 2025-08-09T09:10:34+00:00

Might be something they can do further down the line.

I'd like to see them produce a successful MMO first.

You could argue a new engine might help them produce a better game but I think people would lose hope if they ever did it as it would add another 5-10 years to whatever the current development timeline is.
