That depends on management, however it definitely could benefit the company.

I think the biggest issue is that a bunch of people are, probably unexpectedly, out of a job.

That’s a bingo…

But depending on cost, in my hopeful optimistic universe, that could mean bringing back replaceable batteries.

If/when this happens it will just lead to a rise in aftermarket products to disable the feature.

Hell, since they will probably use AI to parse the audio you can probably use it to fuck with your friends. Like when people would put out hyper-specific FB ads but via cars.

If they don’t call it Chick-fa-licks I’ll be disappointed. I mean as a whole I find the company upsetting already, but I will add disappointment to that.
