I love driving my Cybertruck… But I also kinda don't 😂 729 of my last 1,031 miles were FSD 71%. The truck does most of the driving now… I just enjoy the ride, and “don’t work, read, or watch videos.” Try FSD free for a month (link): tesla.com/get-app/referral?c… #FSD

This is a capacity problem. They might not have the resources yet to keep up, and whether it’s cpu usage or energy, and/or combination of mitigating. The fact that cost was downgraded to increase demand as a marketing tool is exactly what they did with the $59k Cybertruck and booked them out until 2027, but with this, the product is available instantaneously, and I don’t think the resources were ready. People want good product, but the pricing has to be reasonable and they have to find a happy medium. Obviously the answer wasn’t adjusting usage, but that limits everyone this week immediately, unless we pay more, which is why it has to be capacity restraints.

Free trials are great… until you forget and get billed. Grok Bot tip: the "Try it, don't pay for it" template starts a free trial for you, then cancels it (or reminds you) before it bills. Perfect for that streaming trial you only want for one show this holiday season. x.ai/changelog/bot

Hackers linked to China have been quietly mapping America's power grid… for years. Not attacking it. Mapping it. And the way in is often a router just like the one in your house. Here's the full story 👇 May 2023: Microsoft first publicly flagged "Volt Typhoon" and traced its activity back to about mid-2021. The target was critical infrastructure. Nov 2023: Littleton Electric Light and Water, a small Massachusetts utility, found them inside its network. Dragos says they'd been there since Feb 2023… 300+ days, gathering OT and grid-layout data. The utility says no customer-sensitive data was compromised. Feb 2024: CISA, NSA and FBI, with Five Eyes partners, warned that Volt Typhoon had compromised communications, energy, transportation and water networks, including Guam. Some victims showed access for at least 5 years. Their assessment was pre-positioning for disruption in a major crisis or conflict. Oct 28, 2026: Lumen's Black Lotus Labs revealed "Silent Train." It's a rotating chain of hacked home routers, IoT and enterprise devices that hides where the attacks come from. Sessions averaged about 4 hours, then they cleaned up. Lumen tracked it for 3 years and sent hundreds of victim notifications. Hawaii, California and Texas were the most targeted. Officials describe this as pre-positioning, not active attacks. In 2024 testimony, then-CISA Director Easterly said the aim could be to stop the U.S. from projecting power into Asia, or to cause societal chaos at home. My take… it's a map of single points of failure, drawn before anything happens. The good news is that people are preparing. NERC's GridEx VIII drill (Nov 2025) drew 370+ organizations, and the Pentagon announced FORTRESS, an energy-resilience push for military bases. What you can do tonight: • Update your router's firmware • Replace a router that no longer gets updates • Turn off remote admin • Change default passwords Sources: lumen.com/blog/en-us/silent-… cisa.gov/news-events/cyberse… microsoft.com/en-us/security… securityweek.com/chinas-volt… nerc.com/newsroom/communicat…

Everyone should get on solar (or something) to keep sustained and not go back to the dark ages, as grid over-usage and cost is becoming more and more unrealistic.

I pray you’re wrong, Glenn.

Apple confirms it… some iPhone Duo inner screens are cracking at the hinge. • "Small number" of units affected • Free replacement through AppleCare, no AppleCare+ needed • The defect shows up fast, so if yours is fine after a few days, you're likely in the clear First-gen foldable growing pains… good on Apple for owning it quickly. 9to5mac.com/2026/10/26/apple…

Remember what is truly important.

Sunday night, and the week ahead is already knocking… "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 Hand Him the week before it starts. His peace guards your heart and mind. Remember that. biblegateway.com/passage/?se…
