  1. Brought my Honda Prologue EV into the dealership to have a simple recall update applied. Honda's update completely bricked my car and won't turn on anymore. It's been in the shop for two weeks now and Honda has zero clue as to how to fix it. Can't recommend anyone else buy this vehicle if this is the level of quality Honda has now (or Chevy as the Prologue is just a rebranded Chevy EV). You've been warned.

  7. Wow... Wonder how many people will be sitting in the dark and stuff not working suddenly and not realize it's because their "smart home" product has stopped working. Announced awhile back, but... still.

    WEMO: "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end technical support for older Wemo products, effective January 31, 2026. After this date, several Wemo products will no longer be controllable through the Wemo app. Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work. "

  8. So my #Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen9 randomly turned off today and now it just does this. LED next to the charging port turns off then briefly blinks orange, goes back to white and then it blinks the esc, f1, and f4 buttons.

    Occasionally it turns on and mentions a bios recovery or i even get to the boot menu but tends to quickly power off again.

    Anyone knows if that is salvageable or what the issue might be?

  10. @fefesblogbot: Oopsie. Here's the actual link to the article about how #Fisker managed (according to the article a second time) to make unreliable "software-based cars", go bankrupt, and then leaving nothing but "lawn ornaments" (i.e. non-functioning "cars" due to shut down servers): pluralistic.net/2024/10/10/sof

  11. Faulty #Samsung update leaves owners of #bricked #Galaxy phones with few options

    Samsung issued a software update on October 2 that bricked some older Galaxy #smartphones. While Samsung has stopped the update from rolling out further, those with broken phones have received a harsh reminder of the importance of data #backups.

  12. This morning my #Fairphone3Plus broke down. Without warning it just was #bricked. This is really annoying. I am now using my old phone.

    What really bothers me about this is that #Google deliberately sabotages simple #backup solutions.

    You either use their #cloud services or you have to setup every single app again by hand!

    The most important thing I lost was my podcast playback history, but still...

  13. My #slimbook #proX yesterday shut down abruptly while I was using it, even if the battery was at 20%. It immediately started blinking the battery led. I tried to long press the power button and also to connect the charger, to no avail... Anyone has any clue of what's happening and how can I solve it? I really need to use the computer. I'd try to disconnect the internal battery, but unfortunately I have no tools and I'm at the mountain, far from any hardware store...

  14. tracker card arrived about 2 years after order. It is the google equivalent of the apple system. The android phone detects the card (after a few tries and a card reset) but says an update of the card is required to connect the card and please contact manufacturer or words to that effect. Start button does nothing. The update can only be done once the card is connected I think. Catch 22 par excellence. Why do people use . That is why people use apple.

  15. My was working fine with the app. Then I tried switching to mode (putting in SSID and wifi password) (because I wanted to make sure / test that the MQTT options would work - thinking that a WiFi connection would make any internet traffic better) but that makes the settings menu all greyed out so I cannot set it back to bluetooth only, nor switch off wifi… crumbs… ?

    How is it possible for Google to have started with essentially zero customer service resources, but have gone downhill every year since then?

    Agreed, expecting average users to un-brick a phone with dev tools is a special kind of "eff you". It really is "We don't care. We're [Google], we don't have to." like it was the 1970s again.
