Well then you can change the sound of the car. You might have to bypass or add your own equipment, but you can do it.

Doesn't mean the manufacturer should reasonably be expected to make it even easier.

I can remove the exhaust (on an old car) and drive without it. It’s not efficient and not legal but I can do it.

Then you "can't" do it by the same logic. Because it's not legal.

Guess how that plays out insurance wise. Whatever liability coverage you think you have, forget it if you willfully disabled legally mandated safety features. Even if it's a motor vehicle accident where the noise wouldn't have realistically made a difference, even if the other party is at fault in practical terms, if they find out your car safety features were tampered with you could be on the hook without help of insurance.

Which is why it can't happen for a safety mandated feature.

Since the sounds are to meet regulatory requirements, I doubt you'll see ability to use arbitrary noises, at least for the exterior noise.

Good catch, this could be a little piece of a much more credible larger body of water, we just can't see the connection from this angle.

Yeah, this too, "Need someone very familiar with..." HR translates to "10+ years experience" without even a thought.

Pallative care suggests the thing is going to die. The stuff that is still mainframe or still DOS at this point is going to be that way to the end of time and is immortal.

Meh, I found that being good at competitive games felt more like work than fun. I play the fun way and get trounced before it could really get fun, so I switch to advance in leaderboards and maybe I could, but it just sucked because the fun stuff tended to be the less strategically wise way to go.

Even non-competitive gaming "hey, let's all get together at 7 pm to do something on the game", now I have "meetings" to worry about.

Single player is there when I want it, for however long or short as I want it, and can play in a fun style rather than an effective/efficient style.

Unless it's Transformers, where every movie has Prime.

Though pre-DVR TV and especially a household too poor for cable the television was... a bit less continuously interesting. Having even a VCR was just amazing and that was a royal pain meaning you really had to pick and choose what to record. Most of the time you didn't even have anything you wanted to watch that happened to be playing right then. Even when you did want to watch, good chance it is a rerun and you only half paid attention if you bothered at all.

The on-demand nature of it and the volume of it are really what makes it just constant.

Exactly, my generation grew up with the good brain rot, we all knew the same marketing jingles and all made our parents spend their money on the same toys the cartoons told us to get.
