Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

    I’ve been on the internet since the same time and the ability that I developp is to install blockers for all that shit. No car will make watch ads, I’de rather walk.

      I agree but it’s not always black and white. It’s a pop up every once in a while that I click an x on and move in with my life.

      I’m not defending it, but I’m also not loading a new OS on my truck or spending time working on changing it. I obviously hate the popup and don’t want it but it’s been 3 years, its just something I have to do and move on with life in 2 seconds every few months.
