Regarding firmware updates I'm always wary of the time taken and possibility of interruption. Wasn't ready for a recent FOT (firmware over the air) upgrade on my Royal Enfield bikes TFT screen though. This takes place via the RE phone app which bluetoothes to the bike. All started well with the update split into five segments and a progress percentage displayed, but just the first took nearly 20 minutes! After two completed I ran a mains lead out to bike to charge adjacent phone as it was likely to run flat. Then I stressed about bikes battery with ignition (hence headlamp) on to keep TFT screen alive. Fortunately after just short of two hours update was completed successfully although by then its battery was down to 12.4 volts and had a battery charger stood by.
Richard I think Tesla have a pretty well thought out WiFi or via phone update software update progress. I rarely interrogate that which the update is for, and at times it could be games related and suchlike other toys I have no interest, as for safety again as I tend not to make use of any of the auto functions, again I have no real interest in that which is being updated.
My poor memory is not improving with age, thus having to get involved working my way through every update would take up so much time to be forgotten almost instantly...
My 14 year old 991`s handbook has 11 pages of the variety of ways in which it`s "key" can be utilised in a variety of locking and unlocking processes ... Jeez, just how complex can it get, not only that but I do remember a "simple" car such as the trad was once digital systems were incorporated, I do remember one member on here taking his car back to the factory or one of it`s agents to resolve a brake light issue, it was thought to be resolved, and it reoccurred, if not on the (longish) journey back home, very soon after, requiring yet another visit to the repairer... Sold the Mog soon after and bought a Boxter as I remember.... Which he seemed to think better suited his requirements.... Hoping he is still enjoying whatever he is driving now...?
Yeah a bit of a ramble as ever...
The TM image Gallery which I have made use of to share pics and just leave them on the gallery lest anyone might have interest in visiting it (I doubt if anyone has), regardless, the main thing is to be able to include a pic relative to whatever I might post when thought the addition of an image might be worthwhile...
If you read the semi rant above, my selective Luddite tendencies are really twitching now...
Thanks for trying to restore my gallery access Ian/Tim, however it seems as ever carrying out seemingly simple procedures has complicated my on line existance in that the few sites I visit all requiring me to go through their cookie policy....
Sorry ranting again Tim, I think I have access to a VPM via my anti virus provider, though never used it, though I did regularly use my history file to find YT sites I had visited but had forgotten their either their name or wished to find their URL to pass on... Never having ditched my history I guess it took up a fair bit of space, but I do not use my lap top for much else other than essentials, nothing to hide..unfortunately.. (-:
Just tried again at the usual Gallery front page... Typed in email, then password, ticked box to check if I was a robot, it took a few secs, then a green tick appeared in the box. I click the arrow to enter the site, and the yellow bar appears above the Sydney Harbour Bridge declairing CAPACHA says you are a robot. As it has done from the start of this process which may be related to the recent MS updates...
Will now have a go at your latest suggestion Tim, confident I am not.... given I have now reduced my lap tops ability to carry out the usual limited functionality I required of it when it was only the TM gallery that was the issue... Which is no more than I expect when delving into digital areas where one is unaccustomed to visiting... Sigh.
Frustrated for my Luddite tendencies to be proven correct, none the less grateful for those trying to help, been there done that and at times failed... Shrug. (-:
