When someone says "With all due respect...", they'll inevitably follow it with an insult. In that case, the person is therefore also implying that the recipient is due NO respect since they're insulting them. Boom, double-roast. Maybe obvious, but apparently not to me... with all due respect to me.

Tesla has confirmed its latest bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners will not get the Autosteer feature they paid for.

Instead, they will get a year of ‘Supervised Full Self-Driving’.

When Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in late 2023, the software was incomplete, especially regarding its Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) features like ‘Supervised (FSD) Full Self-Driving’, which was included in the price of all early Cybertrucks.

It took Tesla almost a year to start releasing its FSD on the Cybertruck.

After Tesla stopped making new Cybertruck Foundation Series, which are fully loaded with all options, buyers started to have the option of buying the $8,000 FSD package or keeping only the Autopilot package, which is included in the price.

Autopilot’s two main features are Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. The first is self-explanatory, while Autosteer is Tesla’s name for active lane keeping.

The vast majority of Tesla vehicle owners don’t buy the FSD package.

As of now, 16 months after Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck, the automaker has yet to deliver Autosteer on the electric pickup truck.

Today, Tesla started reaching out to Cybertruck owners to let them know that it won’t make Autosteer available for Cybertruck owners who haven’t bought FSD:

“As we improve our Autopilot technology, our feature sets will change. Accordingly, Autosteer will not be available for Cybertruck outside of Full Self-Driving (Supervised).“

Instead, Tesla offers a year of free FSD trial to Cybertruck owners.

More details in the article.

My favorite part is how they're now saying both "full self-driving' and "supervised".

I’ll start: my ear wax. Several months ago, I observed what I thought to be extra wax coming out of my ears. Since then, I can’t stop trying to keep my ears clean. Wash in the shower with soap every day. Stick my finger in there when nobody’s looking to try to get some out. And so on.

I don’t use q-tips, and I know the advice is to simply let it come out when it wants. But I hate cleaning the gunk off my AirPods! Stupid ear wax, I think I feel some now.

Like many, I prefer subscribing to RSS feeds instead of being force-fed by an algorithm. However, sometimes I wish I could comment and/or chat with others about the contents of specific articles in the feed.

I know it's possible to post a link to the article in a link aggregator like Lemmy and have a discussion, but that takes effort to post links and not every article in a feed would be submitted. It also doesn't curate the discussion to only the feeds a user is interested in.

So, my idea is that in a feed, tapping/clicking on the article would show comments people have left and allow the reader to make their own comments/replies. The comments could also be available in a read-only state via api or their own RSS feed, so authors could easily embed them.

I did a little searching and couldn't find anything like this. If this seems useful to anybody else, I think I'd like to write it. So... thoughts?

The trees made for an unsafe exit when in full bloom, so I got out ahead of that and cut them down. One of the trees was big enough that I had to use a wedge and notch cut with rope to keep it from falling on a busy road. I succeeded. Now we can see way farther when turning out and are safer. Yes, I used eye protection and gloves.
