Most would consider the Mach-E to be the first real attempt but whatever. And secondly, you clearly didn’t read my comment because I said I have the 4th year of the car, not a 4 year old car. My car is just shy of 2 years old. I clearly know more about my car than you as I drive it every day and I hang out on the Mach-E forums so I know what’s going on daily in the news. I don’t really care about Fords recalls as a whole as vast majority are for ICE vehicles and have nothing to do with their EVs. My car has had 2 recalls since I’ve owned it and 1 of them was an OTA update (that did brick the car that I complained about originally).

Clearly you know so much more than me about my own car. I shared an experience with my software and you wanna tell me how shit my car is overall. I have had 0 mechanical issues and I’m at 30k miles. I’ve also done 0 maintenance, i haven’t paid a dime past purchasing it and electricity.

Also, I’m very well aware of the HVJB issue and once again, it primarily affected GT models only. I didn’t say only GT models, and it’s also non-existent these days. The axle issue is affecting the first few years and they have issued a recall to address it. For Ford’s first real attempt at an EV, they’ve done a fantastic job. The car has not been a real problem and the big issues have been addressed. There is a guy who is now at 300k miles i believe and the battery has shown minimal degradation with minimal maintenance performed.

I agree but I know Ford ain’t gonna cover shit once my warranty is up (which is soon). The only way would be to fight in court which isn’t worth the time or money. So I just turned off updates. It’s not like they are adding cool features ever.

I bought the 4th year of the Mach-E. Mine was after the HVJB and that was primarily only affecting the GT models anyway, which I don’t have.

It’s happened twice to me in my Mach-E. Bricked and had to be towed from my garage. Luckily under warranty so I didn’t pay anything. I’ve now since turned off all auto updates because it’s ridiculous that an OTA can render your car useless.

A whole whopping 2 downvotes. No one from T-Mobile is here trying to sabotage some random lemmy post.

Every time I’ve tried one of MVNOs I’ve got shit service at my work. I’m affected by this new price hike from T-Mobile so I’m going to try one again but not expecting great results.

No Prusa decided not to pursue it because it’s software related and very hard to enforce. They can spend the money and nothing will change.

It sounds like an Android/Google issue. The website told me that it could not read my gyroscope because I’m on iOS and Apple has not allowed websites to read it since 2019.

I thought his son has already taken the helm and had the same mentality as his dad?

I’m literally not. This community always acts surprised when the world uses these devices like they are idiots for using them. “Just setup this open source thing instead” is always thrown around as if it’s something you just plug in and use. My comment is explaining why the world doesn’t use them. And your comment is a perfect example because you use so many words and acronyms most people wouldn’t understand nor care to understand. Stop acting like it’s so easy to do and everyone around us are idiots for using devices like Ring.

You are the perfect example of someone who is knowledgeable and gets offended when everyone else doesn’t know. I see it so so much in the community. Being a newbie is rough because the knowledgeable are often assholes and act like we are stupid for asking questions. I also see a lot of bad documentation that expects you to be a veteran programmer to understand. Even if these people wanted to dig in, you guys don’t often make it easy for them.

Jesus, get offended a little? I’m just stating that setting up all the things you said is not feasible for the general population and that is why Ring is so popular. Vast majority of people will trade privacy and cost for convenience all day long. I’m not making up a single thing. I don’t know one person in real life that would know any of the shit you said, let alone set it all up by themselves to save a few bucks. That’s why they pay more for Ring. It’s easy and just works.

You just lost 95% of people with those words. Ring and other cameras are popular because they are simple for the general population to setup and use, not because they are the cheapest. This place is such a bubble of people who think the entire world thinks just like them.
