I had a 2023 Elantra, and iirc it had these features for $30 a year after my subscription ended.

These prices are way higher. Seems like every company agreed that subscription = $10(ish) a month, regardless of the actual cost the features justify.

Isn't direct storage the windows equivalent?

5 years ago, I would've agreed, but it's pretty good today

Is there anything even wrong with the default Google file manager? It works pretty well from my experience

I looked it up*

It's $.0125, so 1.25 cents not double digits like I thought. They also average 27 searches per day per user. So an average of 821.25 searches per user per month, meaning a cost of $10.27 per month.

It's probably as good as we are going to get.

The best options would be an open source, donation supported search engine, but the money required to host/develop that is immense.

We are all freeloading off of Lemmy right now, unless you are donating to the people who are running the servers. The cost to run a search engine is much higher though -- kagi pays (iirc) double digit cents for each search, even before development costs, with the average user doing 700 searches a month. The costs are way higher.

It's also privately owned by one guy, so it doesn't have to submit to investor pressure.

Steam, for example, is basically a monopoly for PC game sales, but hasn't enshittified because it is privately owned.
