huh, you can't read this blog if your referrer is "hacker" "news"? Seems kind of childish regardless of what you think of this site. Anyway > It’s open source

huh, you can't read this blog if your referrer is "hacker" "news"? Seems kind of childish regardless of what you think of this site. Anyway > It’s open source > I can just move this device into the new one, rather than being beholden to the car’s manufacturer who at best wants to charge an exorbitant subscription fee for this stuff Unless things changed recently, the model isn't open source so not really open source but more importantly, something about the comparison between "open source" and the "exorbitant" price of $99/month rubs me the wrong way. Opens ource isn't generally free to develop, and if you'd be willing to buy and install this it clearly provides more than $0 of value to OP - why wouldn't they want to invest some money a month into the project so that it sticks around and continues to mature? Why is open source always treated as the "free" option just because it costs _you_ $0 to download it and why Is $99/m exorbitant? Compared to what?
