He should have been touching the wheel. Tesla nags you if you don't exert varying force on the wheel, so it's not possible for him to not touch the wheel during the trip unless he was using some sort of defeat device.

It does for Autosteer but not for FSD, which only requires that you look ahead at the road and if you do so then you don't need to touch the wheel at all.

It only nags you if the cabin-facing camera can't tell whether you're keeping your eyes on the road now.

Which is why you put a sticker over it.

I've had this experience with Subarus. And it's fucking annoying. If the car is tracking where it should go, why do I need to put force on the wheel? It's like I have to keep steering it slightly the wrong way so that it fights back against me just a bit to keep itself in the lane. Otherwise, it thinks my hands aren't on the wheel and bitches the whole time. My hands ARE on the wheel, there's just been zero reason for me to put any turning force on it.

It barely nags at you if at all. I haven't seen it nag at me in a long time when I take my hand off the wheel. I assume it's because of the camera watching the driver that they allow it but I'm not sure.

That’s no longer true. As long as the car has a cabin camera (which has been the case since the Model 3 came out), it will only nag you if it can’t see your eyes or you’re clearly distracted.

Apple requires notorization for applications outside their store too.


This sort of stuff continues to ramp up as everyone rushes to train LLMs while governments are pushing for ID verification that would make it impossible to use the web (or even one's own computer) anonymously. It's a very dark time for anyone who cares whatsoever about privacy or digital sovereignty.


Nonsense, I have it on good authority that the old internet sans LLM surveillance capitalism is still alive and well. You just stopped going there.

And so did everyone else, making it... Dead? If you've got some good alternative communities then do tell!


Traveling with kids in car seats via any method other than one’s own vehicle is almost not worth the hassle. I always rent a car and car seat on the other end, or purchase a car seat for family to put in their car for us. I’ve also purchased strollers to stash with the same family. I’d rather buy all this than lug it through airports for “free.”


The logistics involved in moving five kids all in car seats means that you’re either spending a day to get anywhere or you’re driving.


It depends on your role. People in sales have it open all the time since it's a legitimate research tool for them.


Yep. Sales and biz dev people use LI constantly not necessarily for connecting, but learning about contacts.


They never got Office or any Adobe (or similar) apps working, which is a huge miss.


There was a PR for Adobe products a few weeks ago (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/pull/310), though it seems like they're redirecting it to the main Wine repo now since it makes more sense there


I’m sad because the WiFi on my M1 MBA is dying/dead and there’s no way to replace it without swapping the whole “logic board.” Apple also doesn’t support any USB WiFi adapters in recent versions of MacOS, so it’s now tethered to a wired network connection. I’m just waiting for the M5 refresh to hit at this point. Anyway, all that’s to say that at least some M1 hardware is going to to the trash heap soon :(


USB is a standard protocol, so Asahi should support USB WiFi adapters just fine. Is Bluetooth also impacted?


How many USB ports does a MBA M1 have?

Now you have to walk around with a USB hub, for a subpar battery life.


I mean the person they're replying to is saying their current choice is they're stuck to a wired connection...


I've noticed this as well and it's infuriating. It's extremely unintuitive and I constantly find myself missing the resize zone.


The DFI LanParty UT Ultra-D (Socket A) is my favorite motherboard of all time. It was basically purpose built for overclocking. I got to a stable 250Mhz (500Mhz DDR) on that board and ran it stable like that for years, though I did put an active heatsink/cooler on the northbridge.


It actually does fall under the definition malware. Specifically, Honey hijacks affiliate marketing tags and replaces them with their own. This falls under the definition of the “spyware” category of malware.


Spyware is software that sends information about the user (browsing history, etc) to a 3rd party.

Many affiliate browser extensions do indeed do this, as an extra revenue stream. In fact, I'd recommend never installing a coupon browser extension. But replacing one number with another does not meet the above definition of spyware.


See Spyware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

"Programs designed to monitor users' web browsing, display unsolicited advertisements, *or redirect affiliate marketing revenues* are called spyware."


Well, that's clearly incorrect: software displaying unsolicited advertisements is called adware, and requires no spying at all.
