I have a 2025 Model 3 and feel the same way. I’ve used FSD a ton in Southern California and it’s fantastic.

People just want to raise their pitchforks at Elon/Telsa without actually evaluating the product.

> 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.

I’m not sure what the cheaper subscription you’re referring to is.

Only “Premium Connectivity” aka the internet data plan (streaming media, live traffic, and live sentry video feeds) is exclusively a subscription.

Tesla has always offered the option purchase the Full Self Driving upgrade outright. The option to subscribe monthly to FSD was added later.

Maybe you’re thinking of the free trial of FSD that new vehicles come with?

There is a lot of criticize Tesla for, but they aren’t locking features behind subscriptions.

In the past, BMW has locked heated seats, wireless Apple CarPlay, even software updates behind their ConnectedDrive subscription.

I also use a Kobo and occasionally an iPad. Do you know if it's possible to sync progress between the two.

I've been meaning to try calibre-web, but I'm doubtful iBooks will support OPDS.

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.

GrapheneOS devices lack push notifications, and lot of other features that make it unviable for most users.

Making exceptions like installing the Aurora Store or microG, defeat the point of a degoogled phone.

iOS can’t be hardened it to a 0 telemetry state like GrapheneOS, but it is a fully featured OS.

It strikes the right balance for general consumers, and prosumers like myself.

Nova and Sublime.

BBEdit seems philosophically opposed to adding the option for vim key bindings.

I occasionally use VSCode for specific extensions or languages.

Yup, after I switched to a console - I was finally able to just play games with my friends and not waste mental energy on fiddling with settings.

I don’t have to worry about downloading a game launcher riddled with telemetry or wait 6 months after launch for a PC port to reach a playable state.
