Can the #ACCC help? or does the Australian Government need to impose yet more regulations on tech companies? We need a ‘right to revert’. If I buy a car, then 12 months later the company shouldn’t be able to remotely update software to block features (except perhaps for acknowledged safety concerns)

Yet another #BYDFail. Do not attempt to upgrade to software v2.2.1 Mine has failed multiple times. Some changes have been made, including breaking Vehicle to Load, which I rely on daily. Claims both to have been upgraded, that upgrade has failed/ is available, that I should contact service centre.

Cumulative days worth of existence spent reading various ‘Terms and Conditions’ (hyper-)documents has yielded no perceptible benefit to me. Unlike, e.g. manual coffee grinding, which may have caused noticeable joint wear, but has provided useful time for contemplation.

Also, the media system can interfere with outside camera processing - e.g. reversing camera dropping from smooth video to laggy + <5fps. So, #BYD ships vehicles liable to all sorts of RF attacks. ‘Collision avoidance’ already has an unsafe number of false +ves, glitching it more -> easy accident.

Another #BYDFail yesterday - the FM radio encountered some static and glitched the whole ‘media system’ into being silent and unable to change stations until a vehicle power-cycle. I wonder what other vehicle systems are susceptible. It’s already the worst radio interface I’ve ever encountered.

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic.

The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please.

You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.

A black-and-white photo shows Dr. Leila Denmark (center), an elderly woman with glasses, seated and smiling while looking at a baby who is laughing and facing her. Another younger woman is also seated to the right, laughing and placing her hand near the baby's midsection. The scene suggests a warm, inter-generational interaction, possibly in a clinical or home setting. Dr. Denmark was a pioneering pediatrician, known as the world's oldest practicing pediatrician upon her retirement at age 103.
