Based on the 2024 announcement, https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/1h1kr8g/tesla_announces_lease_buyout_for_all_tesla_models/

is lease buyout still available retroactively? I have a lease dated 11/26/24 via Ally but the contract reads "You do NOT have an option to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease term."

Also, at Ally's site, under "Lease-end options", it reads "Based on your contract, you’re not eligible to purchase this vehicle. At the end of your lease, return the vehicle to your local dealership." Yet, I've read about other leasers receiving notices from Ally stating that "buyout is now available."

My lease term does not end until 10/2027, is the reason that I am not seeing the option [yet] because I am not near the end of the lease?

Thanks.

It is well known that LLMs can over acknowledge, agree, flatter, and please its subscriber or primary user. This can result in the disservice to the user when they only receive agreements rather than being appropriately challenged. This is particularly notable when LLMs are used for quasi-counseling or analyzing discussions between two people.

As such, please help me write a prompt to instruct any LLM to cut it out! No sycophancy, taking sides, flattering, echo-chamber, "yes-man", assumptions, and improve objectivity, brutal honesty, neutrality, and real-world verity.

Thank you.

Edit: For context, I am trying to help someone who uses models almost exclusively for counseling, therapy, coaching, and [new age] spiritual processing. She is not technical and essentially worships LLMs and believes that they will "awaken a new level of consciousness" in humanity.

I am well aware that they hallucinate and have psychosis in addition to the other characteristics I've mentioned. These things drive me nuts for my own use even though I only use LLMs for research, data compilation, and coding, so I've beaten my models to never acknowledge me and never say "this is the holy grail!" (WTAF lol).

I've tried installing via upgrade assistant and ISO, both yielded the same error. I have nothing plugged in and no exotic app. I have found a few posts with others having the same issue. Most ended up doing a clean install. I rather not have to do that. Does anyone have any insight on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Is this possible?

The quick settings rotation is enabled. Settings > Home screen > Rotate home screen = disabled. I want to be able to enable the rotate home screen setting when the main screen is open.

Modes and routines can't control this setting.

Is there an adb command or Good Lock way that I've missed?

This is on a Tri-Fold. It was running UI 8, and now 8.5. I do not recall when this stopped working. I have no apps configured for Dual Messenger. I was simply going to Settings > Advanced > Dual Messenger and when I tap on it, nothing happens.

Any ideas why? Thanks.

I do not yet have Zoom Phone. In my research, I read that the admin (me) can export SMS to CSV. If I sign up and one day I decide to leave Zoom Phone, can the entire [from the beginning with Zoom] call and SMS histories be exported? Is CSV the only option? What about media like pictures?

Can the full call logs be exported also? Is it also CSV?

What about voicemail?

Less importantly, but can SMS and call histories be imported into Zoom Phone, such as from Google Voice? It would be helpful to be able to look back at previous SMS or calls but I found no way to do that.

Thanks.

From what I have gathered, No Cal members can see upcoming lab orders either under records, lab, or personal action plan. It does not appear to be available for So Cal. The only way I have been able to see what was ordered was to look at the past visit notes. If anyone knows any different, please let me know. Thanks.

I created several different watch faces, each with focused complications--health/fitness, world time/calendar/agenda, etc. Thereafter, I enabled swipe gestures (swipe left or right) so I can quickly switch between the faces to see the information I want or use complications as shortcuts. I would leave it on a particular face depending on the needs at the time.

I find this to be faster than looking for an app or function not available in the control center. It's also easier than swiping around the Smart Stack.

Android has the quick panel feature. Using the AW faces this way provides a similar functionality. I would think that many are doing the same, but thought I would share the idea.

I am running 26.5 Dev, and typically there is a new build each week. I haven't used the iPhone much in the past couple weeks, but today noticed that when I swipe right on the notification panel to dismiss any notification, it pulls up today view. I now have to swipe left to dismiss notifications.

Google tells me that this was introduced in iOS 10, but it can't be. I have been swiping right to dismiss notifications within the past month so this is a new behavior. I can't find any information on it or settings to change it. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

When the steering wheel is turned while going up a driveway, especially when it's at an angle, or sometimes during slow turns, I can feel a chatter/shake/vibration in the steering wheel and at the frontend.

A quick search came up with one possible reason attributable to the "Ackerman steering geometry", which can cause this behavior. With only 5K miles, unless it's a defect, is this normal on a MX?

Samsung Tri-Fold. I'd imagine it's the same for the bi-fold Z7.

The Font Scale has a slider from 50% to 250%. The Display Density has a slider from 50% to 150%.

Under the Settings of the phone, there is a slider with 9 notches for font size. There is also a slider for Screen Zoom with 4 notches. I presume zoom will affect all elements on the screen whereas font size only affects, well, font size.

Under Developer Settings, there is also a "minimum width" setting, which appears to be affected by both the zoom and font settings. By default, the external display is set at 360 and the internal display defaulted at 560.

If I tweak the "minimum width" numbers, it causes the Screen Zoom slider to go all the way to the left (lowest zoom). The settings for the external and internal appear independent, but one still affects aspects of the other.

I know MD can detect when the phone is folded or open. I want to optimize the display size for both conditions that is not possible with the available options. Something is always off when I tweak one or the other.

Questions: Is the MD Font Scale similar to font size whereas Display Density is similar to Zoom? Do they set the minimum width and how do the % relate to the settings? Is it a matter of trial and error to figure this out?

Are there other MD actions that can affect the font/display scaling?

Thanks.

Edit: On more reading, in MD, under System Setting > System, there is also device_font_scale (system), font_scale (global), font_size (global), as well as multi_fold_continuity_display_scaling (system).

That's a lot of settings....

For both entering the mode and exiting the mode. How can macrodroid detect this?

Thanks.

I see that actions can be triggered when a mode is turned on, but saw no way to trigger an action when a mode is turned off. Did I miss it?

Also DND doesn't seem to be a trigger. I know I can create a mode to detect DND but it's not the same. Any ideas?

Lastly, I want to use pushover as a trigger, to post a http request. Is the only way to use apps > browser > go to a website?

I have tasker and macrodroid but I don't know if they can detect modes such as sleep. Thanks.

Talking about the Galaxy Tri-Fold after "hands on". What were you thinking?

"Why, it's a Tri-Fold in my pocket".

I mean, when was the last time you can say *that* about a phone?

"We few, we happy few" are certainly well-endowed.

Feel free to add your feelings about the ZTF 😎
