My site updated Jetpack to version 15.9 on June 11th, and unbeknownst to me, it also enabled the "Newsletter" product at the same time. I found it today in my activity log as "Enabled user subscriptions to posts and comments." So, all of my users received embarrassing, poorly-formatted emails upon my next few posts. How can they charge so much for their product but allow stuff like this to happen?

I'm struggling to find the positives. Problems with my $1,100 S8 MaxV Ultra:

• gets "stuck" in places where it has plenty of room to get out (eg. under a large chair)
• folds/mangles the edges of rugs that it cleans over, gets lost and cannot find the base
• does not tell you when the bag is full (i know "it's a patent issue," but not an excuse, should be a way around it)
• does not identify cords well, routinely gets stuck in them
• often squeaks loudly while washing the mop
• app is cumbersome
• instead of the app providing me with a link to buy the exact replacement parts i need, i need to go out and find the supplies that match my model, plus the official store is routinely sold out of things i need
• requires an insane amount of maintenance, am constantly cleaning the base, cleaning the mips clearing debris out of the rollers, clearning debris out of the dust bin, and there are no sort of smart sensors telling you when stuff needs to be done, it's all on a dumb calendar schedule, so the only way you realize something needs to be done is that it starts cleaning poorly

Had a weird Uber situation today and curious if any drivers know how this actually works.

I wanted the driver to take the faster route, even though it was a little longer distance wise. In NYC heading to the airport, one route can be substantially different than another — this time it was 1hr16min and 28mi vs 1hr28min and 21.8mi. Driver said he couldn’t take the faster longer route because Uber has recently been flagging drivers for taking routes that are “too long” compared to the app’s route, even if the passenger asks for it.

Is that actually a thing? Like, if the rider specifically says “please take this route, I’m fine with the extra mileage because it’s faster,” can the driver still get dinged by Uber’s system? Or was he just being overly cautious?

Not trying to complain about the driver. I get why they’d be careful if Uber is using some automated fraud detection. Just trying to understand whether passengers can still request the fastest route or if drivers basically have to stick to Uber nav now. If I’m trying to catch a flight I’m ok paying more for a quicker ride.
