It doesn’t have one.

All I want is an EV without a built-in screen or SIM card.
One I can drive off the lot without consenting to an EULA or Terms of Service.

You just filled a bowl half full of dog food and wrote a sob story for clicks.

I work in IT support.
A solid 80% of all issues magically disappear the second I show up.

It’s the whole reason why IT wizards are exempt from the usual office dress code.
The long hair, beards and flowing robes (or baggy pants and XXXL T-shirts) are vital parts of the ritual.

I disagree on his stance regarding blu-ray discs.
A movie is not software. It can’t control the device you own. You can’t feasibly modify it to make it better.
You pay money in exchange for a physical object you can use to watch that movie as often as you like.
That’s the deal. If it breaks, you have to buy it again if you still want it. Just like you would with any other physical object you buy.
There’s nothing wrong with that.

Then your IT has blocked use of the terminal and store for your account.
Which makes sense for regular users to reduce the chance of fuck-ups and rise of a shadow IT.
This isn’t a Microsoft issue (except for the slightly unspecific error message).

Yes, so they shouldn’t create a strong incentive for it. People tend to break or ignore laws that they feel the majority doesn’t like (see speed limits and minor tax/insurance fraud)

If word gets around that EV parking spots are free for everyone when the charger is broken, chargers will suddenly become a lot more prone to breaking.
