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 ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.

I've been looking at them and dreaming of one for over three years now. Sadly I can't find a way to justify the price where I live.

It sounds like "prepper" Roberto Luque is lucky enough to have a back-up generator and a starlink connection.

Have you tried the Grayjay app https://grayjay.app/ although it encourages you to not block ads and sponsors for the benefit of the creators you can in the settings. It also allows you to connect with your various accounts, YouTube and others.

The problem for me is when someone sends me a location pin it is almost always a Google map link. I have the same issue with people in my community using whatsapp.

I guess you are right, for me I just try to avoid all Google links and products in the first place. I understand that you can tweak privacy controls and settings that allow you to manage how your data with Google is collected, I could also use a privacy browser or incognito, but my main issue is not giving any of these juggernaut corporations a chance to swing and cash in on my personal data.

I'm not ignoring my friends; I'm just pointing out that due to the convenience of these apps, the people around me use them without seeming to care about their privacy implications.
