  @AustyUSA Don’t forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments like… comparing to a coke freestyle machine. Tesla software is nowhere near perfect. Map/direction issues, non-trivial air control, small fonts & touch zones, no Waze, no proper group texts, on and on.

  @waze I don’t have time to troubleshoot it for you but there are plenty of others who might be able to. It’s a widespread issue.

  @nursedanakay Surely it cannot be beyond the wit of man to map where they are. Certainly telematics should be telling the car something's not right in the same place every day. I have a similar issue on my route and @waze. 9 speed humps which variously appear and disappear .

  Waze has not worked well for me the last two days. I had to uninstalled then reinstalled for it to work. Then on top of that the steering wheel felt weird. Vibrations. I was worried that the vehicle was about to start having issues. Today I realized what the vibrating sensation was. My audio is always on Vol Max. I had forgotten to turn the sound off on Waze. It's been talking to a deaf woman who has been worried that she was going to have to call a toll truck.

  @LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?

  @Serk_TX @deaflibertarian Fine by me. Waze is slow and irritating. Google never gets me lost. And, as a dude, I'll never pull over and ask somebody. :)

  @thsottiaux Reverse engineering the USB protocol between lightburn/ezcad to a 100W fiber laser I have that I've avoided using because the software is so meh. Maybe if I build a programatic interface I'll actually use it. Launch an app I've been working on for months thats like super waze ; connects to radar detectors and shares the pings with other users. Spend a good evening reviewing new tools/skills and workflow stuff.

  Thanks to the nationwide T-Mobile outage that just happened, I am now forced to deliver my first child on the side of a highway in Rhode Island. Our Waze app disconnected halfway through the ride to the nearest hospital. Please pray for my wife and I on a safe delivery.

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  @freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze

  @SecDuffy I’m so infuriated with congestion pricing! It feels so violating between Waze sending you through zone when you can easily avoid it to feeling completely exploited! It’s not even worth working after having to pay all this. And I’m not taking train after incident I had!

  @hippyygoat Negative jurisdiction is in America you can sue WAZE contract for attempting to subvert jurisdiction. As jurisdiction in held were the issue took place.

  Louis (@Trolasse) reported 34 minutes ago

  I also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100€/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).

  @PatsKam Both of the mapping software that most people use Apple or Google maps even Waze, which is now Google anyways use the data from the phones so if a bunch of phones are sitting over a GPS location of a highway they’ll put that red as in stop traffic if it’s slow slowly moving from point a to point B they’ll color yellow and if it’s flowing, they’ll color it the green or blue whatever you have set It’s all based upon your phone data location And everyone else’s phone data location on the roadways

  Tony (@TonyB_1997) reported 39 minutes ago

  @bigdavetalks @prestonjbyrne Quite right. It’s illegal to break the speed limit in a car, and the fastest you can go on any road is 70MPH. Yet we can still buy cars that can reach 200MPH or more. If you get caught speeding, you will receive a fine. A minor issue, normally. But if you breaking the speed limit is an aggravating factor in a far more serious incident, such as a fatal accident, then the implications will be far more severe. So, yeah, you could carry on using a VPN and dodge around the rudimentary efforts to enforce it (think speed cameras when using Waze) and you’ll likely get away with it. But one day you won’t, or one day you’ll commit some other crime and the VPN usage will aggravate it.

  @GretchenVoss64 Laposata looked at no evidence. Scordi Belo said it was both likely and unlikely that he was hit. Also couldn’t say for certain as positioning not known. AARCa testing did not even use the weight and size of Officer O’Keefe and frankly a little bit shady… all those deleted signal messages and “ billing “questions. . They did state though that Karen backing into John’s traverse did not cause that damage. You all love to parrot “ he was not hit by a car”. He easily could have been side swiped and that is not impossible. Google accidents by side swipe. I believe in the timeline, tech stream data, Officer O’Keefe phone data, including Waze. Most importantly, per MS Read herself… on video and in written words.. her tailight was broken at 5:08 am. Before CPD ever got the call and beofre MSSP got the call. Voss got it right.

  @GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone “drove alignment” across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

  Rob Conquistador (@RobConquistador) reported 51 minutes ago

  @RobH02050318 @WallStreetApes Most self driving vehicles are going to induction charging. Think like the iPhone mag safe chargers. They would just park over the charger. The braking system is regenerative so they don’t need to be replaced as often as normal brakes. The sensors in the vehicle would allow the person at a main hub to see everything related to the vehicle like tire pressure, battery life, etc. GPS like Waze operate in realtime and many partner with the weather to warn of things like high winds and forest fires. Only issues I see are building the infrastructure (which the mass production of cybercabs this year will accelerate) and states adjusting their regulations to better accommodate self driving.

  @CoasterK24 so...on our "waze" type theme park app, we can include buttons on rides for users to check if a feature is working or not...like when you check that a car is still on the side of the road like waze etc, and you can report a feature not working etc...cl
