    @JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? It’s free, and you are free to use it or don’t.

    @oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Also hate to say this, but Tesla does not use Waze nor Google for speed limit data so it won't fix THAT problem.

    @beyoncegarden I just dealt with a complete ******* Mass State Trooper working a detail at Logan Airport Departures Terminal E last night around 6 PM. I pulled up to drop off my fiancée, hopped out to grab her luggage, and was back in the car in under 30 seconds. Her phone was still connected, so I quickly switched it to mine to connect my Waze for the drive home. Total time parked curbside in the drop-off zone: less than 60 seconds. I wasn’t blocking anyone. This unhinged prick immediately starts waving me off, then yells “NOW! Get off your PHONE!” while aggressively marching toward my car. I nearly missed my exit home because of his bullshit. For no reason whatsoever, this douchebag escalated a perfectly normal drop-off into a hostile confrontation. This is exactly why law-abiding citizens despise cops and call them pigs. Zero justification, pure power-tripping aggression. Just another completely unnecessary, ****** interaction with police.

    First why most drivers never discover CarPlay's app ecosystem. When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay for the first time: your CarPlay-compatible apps appear automatically. Apple Maps. Apple Music. Messages. Phone. Podcasts. The Apple defaults. Third-party CarPlay apps don't appear until you download them on your iPhone. They're not promoted on the CarPlay screen. There's no "CarPlay App Store" in the dashboard. No "Discover New Apps" section. No recommendations. Download a compatible app from the App Store on iPhone, and it should appear the next time you connect. The discovery problem: you have to know an app exists, download it on your iPhone, and then it appears in CarPlay. If you don't know Waze has CarPlay support you'll never see it on your dashboard. If you don't know Overcast exists Apple Podcasts remains your only option. The result: 90% of CarPlay dashboards show 5 Apple apps. The 300+ third-party apps sit in the App Store undiscovered, uninstalled, unused. The reviewer's rule: "CarPlay's app ecosystem is a secret menu at a restaurant. The menu exists. The apps are excellent. But nobody hands you the menu. You have to know to ask for it."

    Why is there no Waze for #golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

    @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. :)

    If there is a huge traffic jam and WAZE shows me a different route that can save me time is Waze ignoring my issue and telling me to shut up or is it offering a temporary solution to my immediate problem?

    We had major problem following Waze directions traveling from London to Folkestone . Near or around Maidstone there was some road blocks. Waze kept sending us in circles repeatedly asking to take closed roads. It was getting dark. Stopped to download TomTom. @waze

    @leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.

    @NYSDOTHV Any update on when this will reopen? Also, are you going to fix the signs stating that it's closed? And maybe alert @waze that it's still closed? They routed me there the other day and wah wah, still closed. Thanks.

    @401_da_sarpanch This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD

    @OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.

    @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?

  • Tesla_PNW
    Tony Velasco (@Tesla_PNW) reported

    @PhasedGravField @mikepat711 It's a big revenue earner here, along with excessive speed on hwy 500, where FSD has no probable going 15 or more over in Standard, Hurry, or Mad Max. The cops absolutely camp almost every morning along hwy 500 in se eral hidden locations in an area where traffic regularly goes ten to fifteen over and just rack up car after car. I have Waze running, so know when they are setup in those hidden spots, and make sure to drop to chill at least a mile before I get to that area when they are there to give FSD time to slow down, since it is often a sluggard about slowing down to new speeds when you change profiles. It will do it, but not always quickly.
