As tech support this has made my job a bit more annoying.

zaph , 6 days ago to Technology in Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks

I think it's the amount of recalls in such a short time combined with how long it took to ship the first one after you could place an order. And the ceo's attitude definitely doesn't help.

Edit: price might also be a factor. I'd never spend that much on a vehicle but if I did and it had this many recalls I'd be furious.

Very true. Now I'm angry at myself for missing an opportunity to use one of the worst contractions in the English language.

Oh I understand now. I thought you were saying Kaspersky not McAfee. I didn't think they were saying McAfee was Russian, just absolute garbage bordering malware.

Do you mean tiktok? Because it's quite a bit more Russian than Instagram is Chinese unless there's some crazy zuck is owned by China conspiracy I'm unaware of.

zaph , 1 month ago to Privacy in New ASUS router firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

I mean if you're using their servers for all of that cloud management can you really expect them not to take a look? You can buy a router and install open source firmware that doesn't scrub your data or keep giving money to giant corporations that put profits over customers.
