> Tesla used to sell Model S vehicles with software-locked battery packs. This was a way to offer different range options without having to make production more complicated with different battery pack sizes.
> Later, Tesla started to offer owners of those software-locked vehicles the option to unlock the capacity for an additional cost. Tesla phased out the practice over the years, but the company still used software-locked battery packs when doing warranty replacements of battery packs of certain capacities that it doesn’t produce anymore.
Upgrading the head unit for a 2013 Model S triggered an error and reverted this old generation battery to software lock.
This clearly was a software bug and Tesla reverted it for all customers using these older batteries.
This has literally nothing to do with subscriptions (the word subscribe isn’t even in the article once). I don’t even think you read the article.
Respectfully, I don’t think enough has been removed.
As someone with Indian heritage it’s super disheartening to see plenty of comments negatively generalizing a diaspora of over 1B people.
Treating anyone who presents as Indian as apart of cultural monolith is absurd. I was born and raised in the US, and have no connection to the alleged cronyism or caste-based discrimination.
Many of these comments make blanket statements about Indians. I don’t think the same moderation guidelines are being applied in this case. Replace Indians with Europeans, Black people or any other ethnicity and it should become clear that this violates the site’s guidelines.
Other browsers could add support for the native macOS password autofill apis (introduced back in 2020 in macOS Big Sur). So far both Chrome[1] and Firefox[2] have refused to add support.
I love the idea. Is there any way you could add in the functionality for the user to upload a dictionary for a specific language? I would gladly pay $20+ for a pro version.
I’ve been trying to learn Kannada, a South Indian language that my parents speak. Most apps like Duolingo and Babbel don’t support Kannada, so it’s been hard to be consistent.
I paid $350 for my Xbox Series X. I then spent another $120 for 1.5 years of Game Pass Ultimate (there’s an arbitrage method to convert an existing Game Pass Core sub).
For a casual gamer, like myself, I don’t see a point in spending $1500+ on a PC for diminishing returns in performance and game compatibility. It’s also common for new AAA PC releases
to be much worse than their console counterparts.
I can cheaply buy used physical games and still have access the vast majority of the Xbox back catalog. 100% of the Xbox One library, 600+ Xbox 360 games, and 90+ Xbox games.
The official Xbox Live servers for these older games are still up and maintained. It’s seamless for my non-technical friends and I to get into a COD MW2 lobby. On PC there are only community servers, and the cheaters are way more common.
I’m not trying to discourage people from PC gaming (I use my Steamdeck quite a bit too).
I think the trade offs only make sense if you spend a significant amount of time gaming, or can get more value out of the PC by using it for productivity.
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background. It’s a one time purchase, not a subscription.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network. That blocks ads in apps (not in the browser) like Letterboxd for example.
