Doug and Ryan explore how major corporations are increasingly controlling our devices through software limitations while charging extra for features already built into products we've purchased.

• Tesla builds cars with hardware for heated seats and premium audio but charges extra to "activate" them
• Verizon "deprioritizes" phone calls for customers who don't upgrade plans, creating artificial service problems
• The Fast and Furious franchise may have killed car culture rather than inspiring it
• Dangerous trends like street takeovers and subway surfing are claiming young lives
• Zombie survival tactics include securing ports and forming boat fleets rather than barricading in buildings
• The Right to Repair movement faces new challenges as cars become increasingly software-defined
• Elon Musk's ventures beyond Tesla include military applications through SpaceX, robotics, and Neuralink
