BMW Starts Selling Heated Seat Subscriptions for $18 a MonthPosted by msmash on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @12:16PM from the how-about-that dept.BMW is now selling subscriptions for heated seats in a number of countries -- the latest example of the company's adoption of microtransactions for high-end car features. From a report:CitarA monthly subscription to heat your BMW's front seats costs roughly $18, with options to subscribe for a year ($180), three years ($300), or pay for "unlimited" access for $415. It's not clear exactly when BMW started offering this feature as a subscription, or in which countries, but a number of outlets this week reported spotted its launch in South Korea. BMW has slowly been putting features behind subscriptions since 2020, and heated seats subs are now available in BMW's digital stores in countries including the UK, Germany, New Zealand, and South Africa. It doesn't, however, seem to be an option in the US -- yet.

Microsoft Lays Off a Portion of Its Workforce as Part of a 'Realignment'Posted by msmash on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @01:29PM from the tussle-continues dept.Microsoft today became the latest Big Tech company to cut jobs during a period of mounting economic uncertainty. Bloomberg reports that the Redmond firm is "realigning business groups and roles" after the close of its fiscal year (on June 30), even as the company intends to grow its headcount in the coming months. From a report:CitarThe layoffs reportedly affect less than 1% of Microsoft's 180,000-person workforce and follow no clear pattern with respect to geography or product division, touching on teams including customer and partner solutions and consulting. They come after Microsoft slowed hiring in the Windows, Teams, and Office groups while assuring that recruitment hadn't been affected by industry headwinds. "Today we had a small number of role eliminations. Like all companies, we evaluate our business priorities on a regular basis, and make structural adjustments accordingly," Microsoft told Bloomberg in an emailed statement. "We will continue to invest in our business and grow headcount overall in the year ahead." Microsoft reported strong earnings in Q3, with a 26% year-over-year increase in cloud revenue and overall revenue of $49.4 billion. But in early June, the company revised its Q4 revenue and earnings guidance downward, citing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

[...]Aquí otros dos detalles que me recuerdan a 2008. Uno, las vacaciones. Aquel invierno las estaciones de esquí estaban a reventar. Iba el periodista a hacer su reportaje... y resulta que muchos eran parados que estaban "aprovechando para tomar un respiro antes de buscar otro trabajo". Casi nada.[...]

Si el estado garantiza una vivienda gratuita a quien no puede pagársela y usa a personas físicas para poroporcionarla mediante alquiler u okupancia, vemos que el propio Estado se escabulle de su obligación jurídica de proporcionar una vivienda digna a cada emigrante o a cada desempleado estructural, legal o ilegal, voluntario o forzoso. Quiebra segura.Los amos lo saben perfectamente, como dice Borrell --que tonto nunca fue-- ya saben que han perdido la batalla del relato.Por eso desde la reunión de Madrid hasta la OTAN va a tomar parte en la gestión del "Espacio Cognitivo".Saludos

Los okupas "profesionales" no se meten en viviendas habitadas (habituales) porque el delito es diferente, es de allanamiento, el desalojo se ordena de inmediato a la que el legítimo morador pruebe que es su vivienda habitual. Y hay pena de cárcel de por medio. El okupa "profesional" necesita viviendas no habituales para poder dilatar al máximo su expulsión.El pisitófilo español necesita oír que puede vivir de El Pisito. Y no va a ser nada fácil decirle que no, que no puede. Ya pasamos por eso, especialmente entre 2011 y 2013 aproximadamente, y los poderes públicos no tienen narices de volver a esos dos años. Pesimismo, desesperanza, "y ahora qué hacemos", etc. Fueron años duros, y el pisitófilo quiere creer que fueron una mala pesadilla. No quiere ni pensar en la idea de que se pueda volver a repetir.

El cableado dentro del asiento, el botón para ponerlo en marcha, los fusibles, las conexiones.. todo sale de fábrica (con su consecuente gasto en componentes).Ahora llevo la idea un poco más lejos. ¿Por qué no el motor? De serie viene con x caballos pero si pago la suscripción puedo usar 20cv ó 50cv más. Todo consiste en sacar coches sobredimensionados de fábrica con todos los extras pero desconectados.Yo no soy un experto directivo de BMW pero hacerme pagar extra por algo que ya viene instalado en mi coche de fábrica y que se activa a base de software.. ¿qué podría salir mal?

Siempre alguen sabrá cómo hacer que se pueda activar. De todas maneras, en cuanto haya alguien que no lo haga (los chinos o los indios probablemente), se comerá el mercado.Este es uno de los cánceres que tenemos en occidente. Muchas grandes empresas no saben con qué nueva gilipollez salir para rascar de donde sea de forma que no te puedas escapar de una rentita mensual, lo más gorda posible. Así está casi todo.Espero que PPCC tenga razón y con el cambio de modelo haya también un cambio de mentalidad en la dirección de las empresas y que se empiecen a ilegalizar este tipo de prácticas.
