I use it off and on and it works pretty well. Typically the caller (robot) hangs up almost right away before you get the satisfaction of screwing with them though and when that happens you don't get the easy option to block them as spa

Not a paid product, and "heavily used" maybe not, but was the only native(ish) way to live stream a group call to YouTube. You could live stream a podcast style show w/ no extra hardware or software, just your youtube/g

Coinbase was a YC S12 company for what its worth.

Their internal name was "GlobalCoin" but looks like it will be called "Libra". That said I like "FaceBuck" or "ZuckBuck" way better!

Worst UX ever. Even more annoying then slideshows. You click the link expecting to be able to read the story but instead you're forced to sit through the most annoying opening sequence ever. Pro tip: click over and over again and it

Guessing its due to the features of the car being locked into some part of memory that can not be updated over the air and bringing it in will allow them to update it so future OTA updates will give the correct update. Basically change the

Yes I am aware they are different cars but the upgrade process from my understanding is pretty much the same. Also look at my UPDATE post. It looks like this is 100% consensual. As I expected the people who were effected by this knew when

Incorrect. I've had a Model S for almost 4 years now. In every case when an update comes out I have clicked "install now". If an update isn't desired you simply don't install it. The only thing I'll fault th

UPDATE: Looking at the comment section on the Electrek [1] version of this story it looks like the people who will be effected by this WERE TOLD when they got the car that this would be happening. So they knew they were getting these featu

All computer/phone operating system providers these days release updates to add/remove features as well. They don't own the hardware either.

Your loss. Have had a Model S for almost 4 years and it is absolutely amazing. Also I probably should point out that when the updates come out it is still up to the user, at least to some extent on whether they want to upgrade or not. I th

They're not actually limiting the software (except maybe the music I guess? but that's no different then just shutting off your siriusxm trial). They're just limiting the hardware that wasn't paid for via software.

As I mentioned in another comment I'd be surprised if Tesla didn't tell people when they were handed the keys that they were getting extras to "try out". That said you do have a good point on their return policy. Test dr

They can also modify it to add features. I have a Model S I bought before auto pilot was released. I had prepaid for it though so when it was ready I got it. And over the years other features that weren't even announced I also got fo

I'm with you on that. Ideally it shouldn't have been given at all. I just don't see any issue with Tesla updating things to match what the customer paid for. And again, the Tesla website is super easy to use and they detail

It only feels bad because you (not saying you, but you know what I mean) thought you were getting away with getting something for free you didn't pay for and it's being taken back.

by Urgo 7y ago
Really not sure why everyone is up in arms over this. The person buying the car knows exactly what they are buying when they order it. They just got some upgrades for free that they didn't pay for to try for a little bit. I think it

Looks cool. If the app was on the play store I'd test it out, but looks like its not released. Below is the relevant quote from the story which links to their website which has no info. "The researchers plan on commercializing th

Random thought after reading all the comments about abolishing all time zones and switching to UTC only. The biggest complaint people would have is they wouldn't know what time morning was for example. Morning would be 7am somewhere

So let me get this.. Google allows 3rd parties to use their OS, allows 3rd party app stores, etc but gets a huge fine for bundling their own native app store. Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to do anything and you need to use their app

Before moving to GCP we actually did experiment with putting some of our services on a VPS at OVH as well as other providers to see how well they would handle our traffic. The issue we had with OVH specifically was that whenever traffic go

Okay let me rephrase a little.. I've had a Tesla since day 1 of auto pilot (so the gen 1 hardware). Back when it first came out it was good but not great. They've made a ton of tweaks since then, almost two years ago now includi

In all seriousness, on the highway, most of the time the requirement is more of legal thing rather then actually needed. Yes, my Model S asks me to touch the wheel every ~5 minutes but it doesn't really need me too.. off highways diff
