I do not see a rational reason why a mobile carrier should have any say in which connectivity technology is enabled for use with its mobile network on a particular phone model. It should work based on standards, mobile carrier's capabi

In general I do not think that a research which does not lead to a full resolution of the primary issue can be dismissed just because it does not actually resolve the issue. Every step of the way towards the resolution of the issue is impor

Anecdotal: I am surprised how the basic Tesla autopilot often cannot even read the speed limit signs correctly. In perfect lighting conditions. It just misses a lot of them. And it does not understand the traffic rules enough to know when t

There are many misleading claims based on wrong assumptions and plain falsehoods in your post. > What I don't want is for the protocols that allow for apple's seamlesness to be opened to cheap trash. Why not? Is there any objec

Your post has some fair points. But it also makes statements that seem illogical to me. For example: > I don't want $10 aliexpress smartwatches to be able to seamlessly connect to my phone Why? What is an objective reason for someth

The reporters should be getting down to the point and asking Elon Musk about the practical usefulness of such a heavily redacted public release.

Ok, but this should not be a major limiting factor. From my experience, there is sufficient amount of routers based on well-supported chips which work okay with OpenWRT. When I consider to buy a new router, I go to the OpenWRT device suppor

An interesting idea. But who would have to "stick" to such software? The users? It seems to me that most of the users do not care much about what kind of software their phone runs, unfortunately. As long as it works with Instagram

I see. If you are okay with older 2019 Tesla Model 3, there are plenty of offerings for that price. And even cheaper.

by pbasista 1y ago
What would you consider to be a cheap enough Tesla Model 3? A quick search on mobile.de shows that a standard range Tesla Model 3 that is about 3 years old and has a mileage of ~100k km costs ~25k euros. A similar Tesla Model Y costs ~30k e

This seems nice. But if I am looking correctly, it does not support the devices from the mainstream brands like Hikvision. I am unaware of how good those typical $20 cameras are. Maybe they are decent. But for instance some of the Hikvision

Is the price drop really the reason for their recent outage? Or is the price drop an attempt to cover up bad news about the outage with news about the price drop?

Yes, that is correct. But it is a different concept. The mobile network operators do that. Not the car. The car does not even have any way to stop that apart from going offline.
