Don’t wanna pull the “are you living under a rock?”-card but I’ve seen tons of promotional material about it. I read about it when production started he took note because of the director and cast, then nothing for a while but in the months and weeks leading up to the release I saw an increasing amount of ads and press.
As reported by Variety, the marketing budget allocated to Barbie was a staggering $150 million
Not sure how organic the marketing was here
You’re probably joking, but in case you’re not or anyone else is confused;
There are three reasons listed for the price skyrocketing:
The Indian rice export ban
The war in Ukraine
El Niño
Homebrew software is unofficial/non-commercial software for systems which were originally set up with proprietary software (like gaming console or in this case car OSs).
Im sorry, I still don’t know what you’re talking about. What about the internet runs on homebrew and how is it related to cars?
What does that even mean and how is it relevant here? “The internet” isn’t a car or piece of hardware.
There have been subscriptions for navigational systems for a long time. It makes sense to me that software that needs constant updates or has stuff run server-side would be licensed. Unlocking hardware features not so much. I don’t see heated seats getting a lot of updates.
Good luck getting a homebrew OS for tesla cars to pass those tests. I don’t even know how that would work. I’d be curious to know what would happen if you would try to register and get a car through the TÜV for example that runs on custom firmware.
Doesn’t BMW also do the heated seats DLC?
Absolutely! I’ve been pretty stingy with concert tickets but I realized that I really cherish whenever I see someone live that I like and it’s a good investment for my mental health, not the same as spending 80 bucks partying. Will have seen 6 bands this year and so far have thoroughly loved every concert.
