Tesla now is definitely in panic mode! In my country they slashed the price of the model 3 by 4000 euro AND they're doing mystery shopping inspections like the traditional carmakers!

I make beer money with mystery shopping (Corporations pay me $2/hour to go to pretend to buy their product in their stores to report the customer experience). Traditional carmakers ask this to do all the time: KIA wants pictures of their ads in their dealers to see if the match the guidelines, Ford wants to know if i ask a oil change what price I will be quoted, Honda wants to know what people will be told if they ask to test drive a CBR650, and so on.

New this month... TESLA! They never had to resort to this kind of stuff, that means they're desperate.

100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it's impossibile to push any OTA update.

If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update

You joke but their idea is to migrate all the remaining skype users to Microsoft Teams (consumer edition, incompatible and not interoperable with Teams business edition, they have the exact same icon but with the colors reversed)

It's the same stuff, but worse™️

News? Which news?

What about Lux - it's now discontinued but on my xiaomi mi 5 with a faulty brightness sensor that always reports full sunshine (and android 7) is doing miracles with the rooted plugin

The BBK group, via vivo, oppo, realme, iqoo and OnePlus launches on the market 200 new phones every year. Can they make just a small one? Just one out of 200, don't need more

When rooted a Xposed module might intercept and stop changing brightness level

The real reason is that they want to save money on the text messages (outside of the US they need to pay $0.05 each time), not because they actually care about user security.

Like when xitter ran out of money and didn't pay their sms bills and people were locked out of their accounts

GitHub? It was open source? Or it used their service as just free file storage for binaries? (Against TOS)

It's a weak defense because the clients still exchanged metadata with other clients, plus there's the big issue of using the copyrighted works for their own profit, and not just archiving/preservation/personal use

Where now are the copyright trolls that sued regular students for millions of dollars for downloading 30 songs?

Under federal law, the recording companies were entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement. But the law allows as much as $150,000 per track if the jury finds the infringements were willful.

Let me see:

  • At least 100 million of books pirated
  • infringements were willful

So, a 15k billion dollars fine seem appropriate to give to Meta AND criminal sentences to all the c suite.

Or: apply the same rules to regular people and allow unlimited copyright violations without consequences
