Yeah but shouldn’t the power usage for the infotainment system be similar to a cell phone at this point with similar hardware where it really shouldn’t be possible to run a car battery dead during an update?

Usually the camera or other things. I usually upgrade every year because I’m on the upgrade program. Last year added the satellite SOS which meant I didn’t have to worry about no service. That and I took the opportunity to switch to the max because my eye sight got worse. I didn’t bother upgrading this year, I saw no reason. I don’t need USB-c, I use a MagSafe charger and have more lighting cables than usb-c. The feature to locate your friends using the ultra wideband chip is neat but requires your friends have a 15 as well. And I don’t really have a need for the shortcut button.

That’s the most ridiculous part to me. Why isn’t this able to continue off the car battery? It should be do not disconnect car battery if anything. I hope there’s some sort of fail safe to prevent it from bricking that doesn’t involve a factory reset or dealer visit.

They should have told you to read the second paragraph

The specific incident in question was a grand larceny case where two men tried (and failed) to steal a robot owned and operated by Serve Robotics, which ultimately wants to deploy “up to 2,000 robots” to deliver food for UberEats in Los Angeles. The suspects were arrested and convicted.

Of course they’re going to share video of a crime when the crime is someone trying to steal their property.

This person has posted this multiple times. They keep getting banned then making a new account. They’re trying to drive traffic to their crappy website. So highly doubtful it’s true.

A lot of places in the US are too far for using antennas. In my area all you can pick up is a religious channel and a channel named infomercial tv.

These are surprisingly decent. I have the non 4k one from a few years ago and even that is faster than smart tvs I’ve used.

Eero does but you have to pay a subscription fee and it’s an Amazon product.

The worst part of that is if your apartment management company gets phished then that person can now get into everyone’s apartment without setting off red flags to other residents since they can just unlock and walk right in.

I think that’s what Apple did with ios17. they just prefer to use words like machine learning instead of AI. It definitely is improved, I was able to finally switch back after using Gboard for years.

There’s already callerid authentication (stir/shaken). The problem is these companies were easily getting real numbers assigned instead of just spoofing so they were verified. This change makes it harder for them to get numbers assigned because when their traffic gets blocked right now they just pop up under a new name and get more numbers.

If they can stop these companies from getting numbers they can hopefully start blocking unverified numbers. Unfortunately I get calls from drs still that aren’t verified despite it being a requirement to support it now.

Whether it was free or not doesn’t really matter. I don’t agree with Google at fault because the bridge should have been blocked physically if it collapsed years ago. The law suit is against a bunch of property companies so it sounds like they added google just because.
