BMW introduces new heated seat subscription in UK

They’re heading the same way as a lot of tech companies. Sage have informed me that the accounts program I bought 5 years ago will not work after September unless I sign up to a monthly subscription, I won’t be able to open it at all to see customers accounts.
It‘s the end game for a lot of multinationals, they get your bollicks in their hand and squeeze at will, Microsoft will be next

Microsoft updates, it has been admitted , slow your computer down gradually so you don't notice.. until it runs so slow, you are forced to either pay to upgrade to their latest software, or buy a new machine (containing their latest software) These companies just want to keep their hand in your pocket.

Do you mean that Microsoft have admitted to deliberately and unnecessarily slowing down computers with each update? If so, then that’s remarkable.
