> However I'll echo what another poster said. I say Tesla should be free to sell whatever they want, but if the end user finds a way around it too bad.
I think thats the stance I'm leaning towards as well. To quote another commenter[1]:
> If a manufacturer wants to lock features behind a paywall, that is fine. However, they shouldn't be allowed to complain when consumers modify the thing they bought to get around that paywall. If Tesla really wants to make sure absolutely no one gets FSD or heated seats without paying, then they should make a point of only including the relevant hardware or software in the vehicle at the time of purchase.

Not interested in having a whataboutism discussion. There is a clear distinction here of software vs hardware

I'm torn. On one hand, I absolutely think that a capability available in the vehicle/device when you purchased it should be available for you to use, and not behind a software lock (heated seats, etc). On the other hand, an "upgrade" or 100% new software delivered via OTA (self driving, etc) seems a little more like it should be a separate thing.

Anyone know why GitHub has made this decision?

I have had success integrate Ring and Wyze cameras through Home Assistant. If you'd rather not go that route, there is a project that publishes Ring cameras over MQTT and RTSP links: https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt

This is also a clever play on the Hawthorne Heights song.

Pretty subjective, but I'm a fan of code-folding, so I rely heavily on the Auto Fold extension.

I can appreciate the author's criticisms of the shortcomings of Cloudformation, but this is really just a "Why you should use Terraform" post.

I almost exclusively use Command strips: pictures, mirrors, and other wall decor, as well as seasonal decor.
The removal technique is crucial, pulling out will rip paint off the wall, pulling down will not. That was a lesson learned the hard way.

rebrickable.com is intended for finding new things to build with your existing sets/bricks, but as a consequence of that, it has a searchable database of which bricks shipped with which sets.

I have it primarily as a way to establish my identity. Like others have mentioned, I have not adopted the new chat and team features

All things considered, there is a stark difference between a job whose primary focus is to build a physical thing and a job whose primary focus is to build a digital thing.

Washington State is entirely vote-by-mail, and we have the option of returning to drop boxes located at libraries or city halls and well as mailing them in.
My anecdotal observation is that the majority of people use the drop boxes, but that was also pre-pandemic.

This was interesting to read. A feel like just how expansive the USPS is is lost on many Americans.

What do you qualify as "bad"?
