Won’t be that long till you can get an adapter for existing CCS cars, so eventually vehicles like mine will be able to use almost any charging station there is. In the meantime, I’ve almost entirely charged at home and had no failures yet with public chargers.
The Maverick is the current equivalent.
I subscribe to that - servers and datacenters aren’t free to run. Stand-alone games, though, have to be a one-time fee for me to pick up.
They’re one of my exceptions. The API/data needed for weather apps to function is not free (at least in the US), with the possible exception of NOAA, though I’m not sure if they offer an API for apps to use.
That’s why the developers have to pass the cost on. If you’ve got a free weather app, you’re probably paying for it with ad views. I’m personally not interested in doing that, so I chose an app I liked that lets me choose which source I want to use and customise the display.
Another thing I have a subscription for is a flight tracker. Operating ADS-B receivers is also not free, nor is additional data some apps get about delays and the like.
I also have a WoW subscription because servers are an ongoing cost (not factoring in continual development and new features even within a single expansion) but won’t keep paying for single player games. My purchase should cover development costs and the cost of fixing bugs.
Other stuff? Nope. I’ll spend a few dollars for useful utilities, but everything seems to be free with in-app purchases now, so most of the stuff I’ve got is grandfathered in from when you paid a reasonable fee that covered development costs and you weren’t hounded.
Always liked the fact that they chose Yamato as the vessel to fail due to a design flaw.
It is believed by some that the eponymous battleship sank more quickly than she otherwise might have due to a design flaw in the torpedo bulges.
Seems to me that this should be priced up front. “In-app purchases” is a big no.
