They could simply stop producing certain parts, sneak a specific custom piece somewhere, provide no diagrams or documentation for third parties to produce repairs. They could simply design parts that fail just after warranty. There is an app that goes with it, right there they have the chance to scan and sell your data, push ads to you, track your driving, etc.
I don't know exactly but there are more ways they can enshitify a product than my imagination allows.
You see, greedy people do not enshitify for sport, they do it for greed as enshitification means more money for them. So unless you are convinced Bezos put money here to help people and not make as much money as possible back, the only logical conclusion is that he wants to milk it as hard as possible, this is what he does.
How is that any different to what is happening now? Is anyone left in the world dumb enough not to see that is exactly what is happening? is anybody out there so stupid they still think there is a functioning government in the USA?
The man... Edison was last century Jobs, best that can be said is that he had a good eye for business but basically just took other people's work, milked them and toss them aside making a profit for himself in the process without regards to the harm he was knowingly causing
The reason for that, IMO, is that the "none" people are usually in the camp of "I don't practice any religion" vs "I despise every religion"; so it becomes like having a vegetarian option in a menu, it is good for the vegetarians and should not offend any reasonable omnivore.
The problem of course is the unfairness you point out, added to the fact that most religious people that get involved in these political fights are not in the "I am happy there is a vegetarian option for me", instead they are usually in the camp of "I am a vegetarian therefore YOU should not eat meat"
PS: the vegetarian vs omnivore comparison is just for examples, I know eating meat is bad for the environment and we should all reduce/eliminate it.
oh yes most others are way bigger… but I was comparing the "small" trucks that are actually available in the USA to make the point they are not in the same level the real small trucks are
That’s incorrect. The Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz exist and are very popular.
And they are still inefficient monsters compared to what a real small truck should be:
Ford Maverick (2022+):
Length: Approx. 199.7 inches (5.07 meters) almost 1.7 meters larger, 6 feet or so
Width: Approx. 72.6 inches (1.84 meters)
Height: Approx. 68.7 inches (1.75 meters)
Bed Length: 4.5 feet (approx. 54 inches / 1.37 meters) 45% LESS cargo space than a kei truck
Typical Kei Truck (e.g., Suzuki Carry):
Length: Max legal limit is 3.4 meters (133.9 inches / 11.15 feet).
Width: Max legal limit is 1.48 meters (58.3 inches). Often around 1.4 meters.
Height: Varies, but typically around 1.9–2.0 meters (75–79 inches) including the cab/bed height, though the cargo bed side walls are very low (often ~1 meter total height from ground).
Bed Length: Typically around 2.0 meters (78 inches / 6.5 feet), which is actually longer than the Maverick's bed in some configurations relative to the vehicle length, though the total footprint is much smaller.
