News Article About a Reddit Post

A while back I made a Reddit post about some work that I did at my home and posted photos of that work. My dad messaged me today telling me that I was in the news today. He sent a link to an article from a fairly large company and the article described my post and used several photos from my post. I found this surprising since nobody ever messaged me to tell me that they'd be copying my photos and writing an article. Is this something that is ok to do? I am in the US.

Motorcycles Don't Reduce Traffic

The whole thread was an argument that everyone should drive cars because motorcycles are dangerous and you can't trust anyone to ride a cycle safely. Drove me insane.

State gave me $8,000 to take out my grass

Some before and after photos and plant growth progress at 6 months. I live in the US Southwest so grass is absolutely stupid where I live. I did a lot of the work myself but hired out the most labor intensive parts. It's mulch, with decomposed granite, river rocks, and lava rock. I saved money by planting very small plants but some have gotten big already, there are over 50 planted here. All in it cost me about $5,000, so I used the other $3,000 to do something similar in the back yard. The program where I'm at in California is SoCalWaterSmart. The whole process was really really simple. The bees and lizards love my yards now.

No More Updates After Dealer Update 86295343.mnf

The dealer installed update 86295343.mnf on March 16 after 4 months of waiting for a telematics module. The last update I received OTA was September 4, 2025, update 652.30

I noticed many people are now getting 654.xx updates. Does anyone know if the dealer update number is just generic and likely contains all recent updates, or is my vehicle potentially no longer getting OTA updates for some reason?
