If Tesla didn't feel they could get behind the security of Android then they shouldn't have made the app. Google's loss. Maybe they'll make Android more secure.
Apple makes much profit, I am constantly reminded because people don't understand technology. Elon was so concerned that people wouldn't understand Autopilot that he had to put a page in the manual. Can Tesla confirm that people are properly educated on this? This isn't a stupid people doing stupid things. It may seem stupid to you and I because if we are here we understand technology. It is obvious that a lot of people don't. They need help in the Apple Store setting up a MacBook for crying out loud. If a company that they admire is behind something, they will accept it without questioning.
I miss the days where a company would be considered a bad company if they blamed customers for problems that happened with something they created and sold as a feature.
The way macbooks are today it practically forces you to get apple care. I'm worried the touch strip will get diseased. How much will it be to repair in a laptop that is perfectly fine but unusable without the full keyboard?
Most people get that. The thing people don't get is why people pay so much for the little bit extra that Apple puts into it. I mean, how much can you engineer a smart phone? I would have said ios is much smoother compared to a galaxy s3 but today android is just as smooth. There is an incredibly wide varience on what people will pay for those little small touches.
My company just bought me a MacBook pro. I don't want to go out with it, because it is too risky with such a device. Really it feels like more of a burden than anything.
I don't often need drivers, I make sure I can access the file system on every device I buy directly through USB. When I had a video camera it was firewire and the driver was built in.
It doesn't really matter what else I would want to do with it, maybe I want to dump the contents of the camera as a raw file and work with it off the hard drive, maybe you have Final Cut Pro and want it to open in that, maybe I want to use some other video utility. There is almost always a faster and better way to do things that is not obvious and the OS will not know about. The point is that there are so many other things that CAN be done after plugging any device in that it is presumptuous on Apple's part to just assume you want a certain app. The way Windows and most linuxes deal with it makes more sense, they ask what you want to do and one of the options is to 'Do nothing' which is usually what I pick. If you like you can also make a certain option the default and then it will do it for you every time like on OSX. The OS is there to serve me, not to tell me what it thinks I want to do. You will of course argue that this behaviour is perfectly fine because it happened to do what you want.
PuTTY is just an ssh client that came out that was small and free so everyone started using it. For a more posix standard experience, you can install cygwin and use the ssh command directly. I'm not saying cygwin is perfect, but it does quite a spectacular job of being a unix like environment on Windows. On the other hand, the unix shell for OSX is also far from perfect since there is so much it has to do to accommodate OSX such as putting the users in/Users instead of/home.
I had an Airport Express. It was really annoying to have something that big plugged directly into the wall. The plug adapter kept sliding out of the router on me.
That is all well and good if you are using your device like Apple thinks you want to use it (I plugged my DV cam in via firewire, it showed up in iMovie) but it's very, very annoying for the people who don't want that to happen. When I use a mac it seems it is always making choices for me that I don't want. I don't CARE if it is an option you can turn off somewhere, it's still very annoying.

Tesla didn't have to make an Android app.
I think it was Tesla's choice to do that, and they chose otherwise.

They should have called themselves Teflon, not Tesla.. Nothing seems stick to them. It's all the customer's fault.
Property doesn't matter if it isn't yours?
Wow you got all that from one comment? I'm afraid to answer!
If I could gut a Thinkpad T23 and put the contents of the MacBook into it I would.
You have a large iTunes collection purchased through Apple?
You're suggesting that no one buys music from iTunes?
They will if I am working on it at an airport. Also I don't want to look like a contentious douche-bag.
All I'm suggesting is, if someone has bought a lot of Apple music then they are an Apple customer forever.
I just don't get what isn't simple about Android.

How easy is it for a person to transfer a $1000 Apple music collection to Android? I don't know, just wondering.

Ok that's not what you said. In that case windows just works too.

What? You didn't have a brand new shiny Apple Macbook at the ready at all times to configure your router? For shame!

Do you seriously not see a difference in benefit between playing football (or any active sport) for an hour and posting on social media for an hour?
