Das reboot: That's the only thing to do when the screenshot, er, freezes

Re: Funny that

Similar story (don't work IT but I am in one of the more techie departments of my company). We get new mobiles every 3 years or so and while working away one of the more venerable members of staff's voice starts to breach through the protective wall of my headphones. This goes on for sometime with more and more mutterings of I'm doing that and shouting at the poor helpless object. Eventaly when this has reached the point where I can stand it no longer I wonder over to try and help. the problem they were trying to use the fingerprint sensor all while the anti scratch film was still in place. it took nearly 5 mins to convince them that this was not needed and would hinder phone use rather than help it.

My first self build resulted in a blood sacrifice to the PC Gods. Was trying to push out the case mobo plate so I could fit in the one that came with the mobo I'd bought. Took a lot of pressure to push out and then suddenly gave taking half the side of my thumb with it.

Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval. Please note also that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla Network, details of which will be released next year.
