       @frank I used to use Deliveries but currently use Parcel. The issue with Amazon is that they’ve intentionally removed order details from their emails for “security reasons”, with the side effect that apps like Deliveries and @parcel cannot obtain order info from them You have to use the built-in integration features that have access to your account, but those tend to be slow to update and often lose connection. You’ll notice that Amazon emails these days basically say “your order has shipped” without any order detail, so if you want to know which order it is you need to go to their app. My assumption is that Amazon did this on purpose to force users into their app for order info and status, presumably with the hope that you’ll buy more stuff while you’re there.I’ve found Parcel to be great for everything else.

       @karl if you purchased the FSD addon and have access to the FSD beta software then you would be affected. If you do not own the FSD addon then you are not impacted by the recall. Either way, the fix will be deployed through an over the air update so you don’t really need to “do” anything.

       @karl it’s definitely not worth any amount of money, but people seem to keep paying regardless. I paid $2500 for it “on sale” in 2019 and I feel like I got ripped off, so I can’t imagine how someone who paid full price must feel. I actually know people who paid for it 2-3 times and have nothing to show for it beyond a buggy beta that barely works and a big dent in their wallet. There is no reason why anyone should pay for FSD unless they have more money than sense. It’s a pipe dream that will never deliver anything close to what was claimed.

       @realcaseyrollins agreed, the whole argument that “buyers have to keep buying new cables therefore we should regulate a single standard” isn’t accurate if you ask me. Many people already have multiple cables for their devices and don’t need to buy new ones every year. It seems that most who support this sort of over-regulation are those who aren’t as likely to buy Apple products in the first place.Also, making USB-C required only works until something better comes along, then all of a sudden the regulation is hindering adoption of newer, better technologies.
