I have sent a complaint to consumer protection agency in Estonia notifying of illegal, immoral behaviour of @teslaeurope and @tesla. It's a theft, not other word for it. @elonmusk as a protector of truth, I wonder what is his opinion on remotely disabling paid for functionality. I hope to support the work of MEP René Repasi (@repasi) on the Right to Repair Directive and the Right to Repair Europe coalition (@R2REurope), as well as broader consumer protection efforts by BEUC (@BEUC)." Tesla's remote revocation of paid features exemplifies the exact problems highlighted for years by right-to-repair advocates like Louis Rossmann (@rossmannsupply), who has publicly called out manufacturer overreach in vehicles and electronics. Also worth calling out @restartproject and @iFixit x.com/bartosz/status/2042609…

Day 4 of @Tesla denying warranty work under broken functionalities in the car without saying the timeline for a remote fix. Week 8 of two legal functionalities not working. Just “in will be fixed in future update” and it’s a “temporary blockade”. How is this even legal, no software update was needed to block it. Also both finish and polish Tesla service is ignoring bunch of my questions. Mainly trying to get contact to their legal department. Who wants to bet they won’t answer these questions? 🫡

Yes, that's how EU can be competitive, why stop here, why half-step, half-assing things... Let's switch to socialism! EU Commision knows better what citizens need or want!
Let Europe classify ASML as a EU security concern and limit sales to EU only. Then see how many chip companies will settle in Europe immediately. It’s the last chance. My guess is ASML will be bought asap from a US or Chinese tech company, losing Europes most valuable AI company.

Yet for my own safety and others @tesla disabled my paid for 8000EUR FSD remotely without refunds and even a good reason. I really would like to understand the logic there
First life saved in Belgium thanks to Tesla FSD❤️ thanks @teslaeurope @AnnickDeRidder !

Oh nooo, such a coincidence.... oh well....
For some reason, none of the countries 🇳🇱 🇱🇹 🇪🇪 🇩🇰 🇧🇪 that have allowed Tesla FSD Supervised in Europe 🇪🇺 so far have a big car manufacturing industry, if any at all… 🤔 On the contrary, the big car making countries like France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, Spain 🇪🇸, Czech Republic 🇨🇿… have NOT allowed FSD Supervised. Coïncidence? I think not 🧐

About Siri AI and EU: 1. Your data (gallery, messages, email, call logs, notes, files, and much more) is indexed for personal context, and that info is stored on your iPhone. 2. When you use Siri AI, the request is either handled on-device or in cloud using PCC. It’s never stored or logged on Apple’s servers. Apple does not have access to it. Now, according to Apple, here’s what EU wants: “According to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app.” What EU is asking is scary dangerous. And apparently they have rejected all the solutions proposed by Apple. And, as hinted by Joz, “We will NOT compromise on privacy and security”, Apple is likely not going to give up, so EU users are likely not going to get Siri AI anytime soon.

If you're in the EU and are upset that Siri AI isn't availible here, sign this petition! If we get to 100.000 signatures we'll be able to get this infront of EU regulators' eyes siri4eu.com Made by a fellow Italian developer, whose name also happens to be Lorenzo :)

Info from a friend: I got a call from the Tesla service center. They were well aware of the issue regarding the FSD unlock, and the representative confirmed that we will be able to use FSD approximately one week after we receive the update . They are doing this because they want to ensure that no third-party devices are installed. He specifically said that we should not, in any case, reinstall these devices in the meantime. It's for .17.5. It will be blocked (meaning a jail time) for approximately a week. We will get an official communication from Tesla by mail or on the screen. He wasn't sure about that, but we will be informed anytime. And yeah, as well, he told me: "Please don't install any device in the meantime." Lol --- No idea it this applies to Commander by @enhauto, as I do have this installed! I love that product.

Oh my, my dunk of JerryRigs is going viral. Well, let's use this as a teaching moment. First, realize when people say "data centers in space" they aren't talking about lofting up giant Costco sized buildings. SpaceX and Starcloud are proposing satellites that each have the compute capacity of about one AI rack, or what the guy is pushing in the picture below. These individual sats won't be connected together in space to run large training jobs, they'll only be used for inference - answering people's questions, running agentic tasks, etc. So each satellite has relatively tractable power and cooling requirements. There will be a couple of largish solar panels attached to give it 24x7 cheap power (remember that you get like 5x more solar energy per panel in space than on Earth). And a smaller radiator that will radiate away waste heat into the vastness of space. Both the power and cooling technologies are simple, well tested and cost nothing to operate, unlike power and cooling on earth. In particular, cooling on earth requires extra power to run powerful water pumps to move fluid all over the place and then to dump the heat into a relatively hot atmosphere. Yes, space based cooling can only reject heat via radiative cooling, but it is doing it in the vacuum of space at -454 °F (-270 °C, 3 K) versus about 77 °F (25 °C, 298 K) on Earth, so that helps a lot. Point being that cooling in space has only a single upfront cost of building a passive radiator. But what about the overall cost, you ask? Well, think about all the things you don't need to build now. That rack the guy is pushing around weighs 1,400 pounds mostly because of all the metal required to support everything against Earth's gravity. Things can be built far more flimsy in space since they are in zero gravity. Also that rack has a bunch of power electronics and fans, neither of which are needed in space. Indeed, that entire building those racks sit in doesn't need to be built. All that fiber cabling isn't needed (lasers in space take the place, no need for cables). Giant utility transformers and a small army of step down transformers and battery packs don't need to be built. The land doesn't need to be bought. The permits don't need to be acquired. The supposedly huge amount of water used doesn't need to be provisioned (it's a tiny amount, but the detractors love to bring it up). There are in fact giant cost savings going into space. What about launch costs? That is small as well. Starship is fully reusable. The majority of launch costs are natural gas and liquified oxygen extracted from the air. That's it. Cheap access to space, really cheap I mean, is a huge unlock. I was initially shaking my head when I first heard about Elon's "crazy" idea of space based compute, but the more you look into it, it is far less crazy and more doable and practical. At least for SpaceX.

Esto es Europa en estado puro.

Tesla: here you have an official OBDI port. Oh, you are using it with Commander by @enhauto? So cool, so you just send CAN commands to the car, no modifications or hacks? Cool! Have fun! Tesla: oh, one of the commands you have sent enables FSD in EU? Nice! Keep using it, we can learn from the data! EU: we keep hearing about this, we will not approve FSD if you don't fix it Tesla: YOU GUYS ARE HACKERS, WE ARE REMOVING ALL YOUR PAID PACKAGES FROM THE CARS, NO REFUNDS Us: but we just used what you supported already? wtf? Can we then get a refund? You charged us 8000EUR and now you removed his? @Tesla: [silence]

Ich bin alles andere als ein Apple-Fan. Aber in der Frage Apple vs. EU stehe ich ganz auf Apples Seite - oder genauer: auf der Seite vieler Apple-Nutzer. Apples Erfolgsgeheimnis besteht gerade darin, ein Erlebnis aus einem Guss zu liefern: kontrolliert, integriert, reibungsarm und mit dem Versprechen größtmöglicher Sicherheit. Genau das kaufen die Menschen, wenn sie ein iPhone erwerben. Dazu passt es schlecht, wenn Drittanbieter weitreichende Rechte im Betriebssystem erhalten sollen, nur damit regulatorisch mehr Wettbewerb bei KIs hergestellt wird. Der CrowdStrike-Ausfall bei Windows hat zumindest gezeigt, welches Risiko entsteht, wenn Drittsoftware sehr tief in ein System eingreifen kann, weil es regulatorisch gefordert wird. Trotz des Fehlers von CrowdStrike lag der Imageschaden für die hunderttausenden BSOD in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung am Ende bei Microsoft. Deshalb kann ich Apples Position mehr als nur gut nachvollziehen. Wer unbedingt andere KI-Systeme tief ins Betriebssystem integrieren will oder grundsätzlich aus Apples Walled Garden heraus möchte, sollte sich eben kein iPhone kaufen. Es gibt genügend Alternativen. Und das ist für mich genau ein Bereich, in dem der Markt entscheiden sollte - nicht die EU.

I've seen a lot of people saying that AI datacentres in space will not work due to the thermal energy from the GPUs. So, I went and actually did some calculations to see how easy it would be to cool down these satellites. (Spoiler: these satellites will work) CALCULATIONS: So, starting with the Stefan-Boltzmann law: Q = ε×σ×A×(Tₛ⁴×Tₑ⁴) A in this equation is the area required to radiate all the thermal energy. Rearranged to solve for area including extra energy radiated from the Sun and Earth: A = Q×Qₑ/ε×σ(Tₛ⁴×Tₑ⁴) Q = watts of thermal energy. SpaceX is aiming for 150KW of power from the solar panels which I have assumed will be entirely converted into thermal energy. Qₑ = watts of thermal energy from radiation from the Sun and Earth. I guessed a value of around 25KW of extra thermal energy incident on the satellite's body, which is probably a MASSIVE over estimate since the satellite is flat and facing 90 degrees relative to the sun. The solar panels wouldn't transfer much heat either through the tiny metal parts which they are attached to. ε = Emissivity of the surface. Apparently the radiators on the ISS have an emissivity of 0.92 so, assuming no advancement in the technology in the decades since they were made, I went with that value. σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²K⁴ Tₛ = Temperature of the radiators I am assuming a temperature of 25°C (298.15K) for the satellites, which is quite cool considering the GPUs will probably be operating at temperatures at or above 70°C. Tₑ = Temperature of the surrounding environment Space is about 2.7K (-270.45°C) Putting all of these numbers into the equation: Area = (150×10³ 25×10³) / 0.92 * 5.67×10⁻⁸ × (298.15 × 2.7⁴) = 424.55m² Now, 424.55m² sounds like a big radiator but let's find out how big each one will actually have to be. Each radiator is double-sided so we divide the area by two which gets 212.27m². Then, since there are two radiators, divide by two again to get 106.14m². The Starship payload door is about seven meters wide, but let's cut down the width of the radiator panels to 6.5 for a little more margin. 106.14 / 6.5 gets us 16.33 meters long. CONCLUSION: In the renders provided by SpaceX, the radiators seem just a little too small according to my calculations. However, I made sure to chose values according to the worst case scenario in my calculations. Just removing the heat radiated from the Sun and Earth from the equation (which I believe would be negligible due to the position of the satellite) returns a length of 14 meters, which is much closer to my estimated length of 13 meters from SpaceX's renders. Using the actual numbers would probably give a radiator with a size very close to what SpaceX has shown us. So, after actually doing the maths, I believe the designs which SpaceX has shown will work just fine. It turns out the very intelligent people at SpaceX know what they are doing.

Here's why OpenAI should move its HQ to Europe: - Can go public immediately (within 8 to 9 years after government approval) - Would create 100 million ten thousandaires by redistributing profits to the citizens via taxes - Clearer cookie warnings on ChatGPT - Would save billions in server costs (EU will mandate that all customer data be deleted within 24 hours, saving enormous data storage costs) - OpenAI could be carbon neutral (already have a building with several solar panels ready for their office)

You just make it not worth it enough and EU will fall even more behind rest of the world. Let’s make a law that iPhones should cost max 10€… They wouldn’t just ignore this market riiiiiight? Why don’t you want to make iPhones cheap for us Europeans?! So many retards there I do envy UK more and more for leaving that circus.
Apple has decided not to bring its new Siri AI to iPhones and iPads in the EU, blaming the Digital Markets Act. The Commission’s reply was blunt: this is Apple’s choice, not Europe’s fault. No American multinational can blackmail 450 million consumers by saying: change your rules, or we keep innovation away. A carmaker would not refuse to export cars because Europe requires a speedometer. The same principle applies here. The DMA defends fair competition, consumer choice and digital sovereignty. In Europe, Big Tech does not write the law.

I am sure this guy knows more than a company that literally reinvented space travel and satellite internet. Why is SpaceXAI not hiring him to have a guy just repeat "this will not work" for any idea they may have?
You know the reason your Stanley or Hydroflask is so good at keeping your water cold is because there's a vacuum inside the walls of the thermos. Heat can't conduct in a vaccum. And "radiated" heat is ineffective at the temperatures processors operate at. This satellite will be like plugging in your gaming PC without a CPU cooler. It'll be dead in minutes.
