Of course there were plenty, but now we can produce such codebases at unprecedented speed.

Yes, a "Full Self Driving" system which is not fully self-driving is certainly an improvement over an autopilot that does not auto-pilot. Ain't progress grand.

That is an absolute _hogwash_ of an explanation, and it comes up every single time this discussion is had.

We are talking about cars, not planes. Driven by regular people, not pilots.

It's a term chosen specifically to evoke a certain connotation among the majority of people, and you know it.

Out of sheer, idle curiosity: were you actually laughing when you typed that out?

Exactly. Everything below L4 is _incredibly stressful_ and unpleasant to drive, because you have to be constantly aware and alert without having anything to do.

In the case of Tesla, daring to call such a system "Autopilot" is a breathtaking level of irresponsibility. You are responsible for the vehicle you are driving, practically, morally and legally, even if a companies' marketing and the system itself does its very best to divest you from that simple and obvious truth.

This user turned off the installation of system updates, because Apple labelled a control incorrectly.

Which is not apparent if you give them an explicitly labelled separate toggle.

He had enabled a setting that says "Install [...] security updates". If enabling that setting does not lead to the system installing security updates, that's on Apple.

Once upon a time, 1password (macOS pwd manager) vault files could be opened standalone in a browser, which was extremely nifty.

I am doing nothing of the sort; you're shadow-boxing, and nothing you wrote has any bearing on the point under discussion here: a privacy-sensitive feature that the user explicitly disabled was silently re-enabled and the toggle removed.

Do you believe that adding a "no" button _and then honoring it when the user clicked on it_ requires developing a separate version of their system?

Regardless: they already did, because Apple intelligence is not available in the EU.

Yes, how quixotic of them. They really should have foreseen this when they published the license … checks notes … close to twenty years ago.

The "Hardware & Environment" part which supposedly links me across different browsers doesn't work — it differs between Safari, Firefox and Chromium.

In a private Safari window, it's not even stable across reloads.
