All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He’s been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

I'm not even remotely a fan of the guy at this point, but from everything I've read, a lot of it was actually because of him.

Tesla too.

But also a lot of the negative parts of those companies, and failures. And at the Boring Company. And TwitX, etc.

Whatever contributions he's made are rapidly evaporating, though. He had plenty of problems 1015 years ago, but the last 5 have been a massive, rapid slide in his contributions, reputation, etc.

Each time he pulls shit like this, more people see the light about him. This one is going to disproportionately affect people who either still like him or just thought that they could own a Tesla without being affected by his stupid shit.

As someone who uses it a lot: you don’t need it. But it is nice when you’re waiting for someone, which I do a lot of because sigh I’m basically a soccer mom now. (Kids don’t play soccer and I don’t drive a minivan but…yeah, the comparison is sadly apt.) These days, my kids use it more than I do, since a few times a week they are stuck with me waiting for the other sibling to get out of their activity. Can all this be solved by just handing them my phone instead? Sure.

As of yesterday, pretty sure my Disney+ app was still there, maybe because we’ve used it before, per the article. My daughter would be upset if it disappeared, but if it does I’ll just bring a iPad and hotspot it. Whatever. Maybe I should be more upset about this but I’m kind of resigned to Musk being an asshole man-child and honestly kind of depressed about being linked to him even if I’ve had the car for years and generally love it.

Since Twitter has nothing to do with Tesla (beyond the emotionally stunted owner) this is serious line being crossed. I mean - I don’t care about Tesla. But I do care about SpaceX and Starlink as they have serious geopolitical implications.

Because Republicans gutted NASA for decades. They absolutely loathed that it was a generally beloved program by everyone.

And especially in the wasteful manner Elon musk has.

Reentry vehicle sure. Launch vehicle, no. The ocean floor is littered with booster stage debris. NASA had experimented with a lot of different methods to reach orbit. And had even looked at things that SpaceX eventually built. But never had the funding to build themselves.

linearchaos@lemmy.world on 20 Dec 2023 22:49 collapse

Not necessarily SpaceX but they needed something.

The problem with NASA is that the funding waxes and wains with the administrations, as does the demands of the administrations to give them the money.

If something takes more than 8 years to happen chances are the project never comes to fruition. NASA has really slowed down in development in recent decades.

Not all the innovation SpaceX is doing is really warranted, though most of it’s kind of cool. But they are investing in research and development in places that NASA simply can’t get to.

Starlink is just a way for spacex to capitalize on that research and development. They are their own sister company customer.

That said they can all turn into dog shit in a matter of months if somebody got a stick up their butt

The mars thing is really a small part of what they do, although it gets the press. They are pretty much the only real game in town for satellite launches, and, I think ISS transport (especially since Soyez is Russian and there’s not a lot of good will going on there…). Even Amazon uses them for launches. It’s approaching monopoly status for critical infrastructure (we’re very dependant on satellites as a society now).

Mars is a labour of love for future ambition, but it’s not the main show.

Whether the root cause is historically poor NASA funding or not (I think there’s a strong argument for competition and private sector IF it’s properly governed, but it never is…), the fact is that we’ve created a situation where vast amounts of geopolitical control rest with a single person.

What a pathetic gesture. I’ll show them, I’ll take away features from my cars! No one subs to Disney+ just because they can watch it in their car. All you’re doing is pissing off tesla owners and scaring away potential owners with your little bitch fit. Pathetic.

Any of my knowledge of this is based on the show Succession, so I probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but couldn’t Tesla’s board remove Elon as CEO for making terrible decisions that negatively affect shareholders?

KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml on 20 Dec 2023 19:49 collapse

Yes, they could once they prove that Elon’s actions are impacting the day to day at Tesla regardless of conduct. The issue is the board is made of sycophants who will vouch for Elon, namely James Murdoch, JB Straubel, and his brother, Kimbal Musk

whofearsthenight@lemm.ee on 21 Dec 2023 01:31 collapse

And, if Elon had a real board, this probably would have already happened. This is a perfect example of why. What problem has Disney caused Tesla that they could possibly articulate to a customer that would justify this move and not cost them good will if nothing else, and sales likely especially as this gets a ton of coverage? “Yes, I understand your frustration, and yes I can hear your kid screaming in the background about not being able to watch Frozen while you’re stuck charging. But you see, sir/madame, our CEO has a very, and I really have to make sure I state this correctly, but very tiny penis. It’s so small, just constantly peeing on his balls (which are also very small.) We here at Tesla let him compensate for this by making the product worse for you, our paying customers. Anyway, can I interest you in a CyberTruck? Please? We’ve only sold 3 and my family needs to eat.”

Bro, why you lumping apple in with musk?

Seriously, apple does a spectacular job at user privacy and security, probably second to none.

Because apple forced an album onto user’s phones just because they were paid to do it.

Isthisreddit@lemmy.world on 20 Dec 2023 23:45 collapse

Let’s be real here, google and every other company sells you out to their advertisers instantly and even double dip and triple dip on your info wherever they can. Apple doesn’t and they take their security seriously. Feds are always crying about how hard it is to break into iphones, telcos are complaining how apple protects it’s users (because telcos have an interest in monetizing those apple users), and the payouts for finding security vulnerabilities for apple products are very high.

Google and apple are absolutely on different ends of the spectrum of user privacy and security

Daefsdeda@sh.itjust.works on 21 Dec 2023 10:58 next collapse

Yes but when push comes to shove, they prioritise money. See apple serves in china being accessible by the goverment.

I do agree that it is nice that apple has things that protects buyers from telcos but, I do feel like the no bloatware and no different phones in regions is a image move so apple products are more easuly understandable for the average consumer (so more money).

Isthisreddit@lemmy.world on 21 Dec 2023 18:26 collapse

I will totally agree with you it all does come down to money, but I feel Apple/Tim Cook is still principled in this regard - he has made a stand that the customer is not the product, and the investors/share holders appear to respect this boundary so far. All that is needed is a shithead CEO to come in and squeeze every cent, which at that point might very well be to monetize users like Google. Anything can change tomorrow.

Btw I’m a hobbyist security researcher, and the more I study Apple/iOS/MacOS, the more impressed I am. I don’t actually have any apple devices, but I’m really starting to consider it

This only means that Apple don’t allow anyone else to do it, not that Apple itself does not do it.

Pretty sure they can only be used when parked like when you’re charging. Even at a super charger, it’s going to take 20-30 minutes to get back on the road.

Ah I didn’t think of the charging times and maybe needing something to do while you waited. Alright, it’s suddenly much more sane.

I think I will put in a support ticket about it just for the hell of it. They have time for petty shit like this but still haven’t fixed the automatic wipers that have been broken since August. Automatic wipers are actually a necessity in this car because the only way to operate them manually is with a few clicks on the touchscreen. It’s dangerous. They kept closing my support requests for it until I gave them the number for the NHTSA complaint I filed. I’m so sick of this turd and his shitty companies.
