As someone who uses Hotspot in my car and with my laptop, I wish iOS was instant and consistent. In the future, I want to put an iPad in my car’s center console so an instant tether would be mission critical for that purpose.

I testdrove the S24 Ultra with Galaxy buds to try to switch from an iPhone and the biggest complaint I had is that “okay Google” from the earbuds basically never worked. The S25U has that walkie talkie button, but I only use my assistant via voice when my hands are full… it just kills it for me entirely.

Has anyone tried to see if Gemini works with a wake word? What about with Bluetooth headset?

The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.

I actually really like that concept. Super clean, super usable, nice linear animations.

I’ve been saying option 2 was in full force after Elmo went right wing years ago. You see it here in Arizona. The Trump right wingers are not principled outside of religion, and even then there’s an argument against that. If there’s a lack of principals, and their opinions are handed to them by Fox News and Newsmax, then option 2 is entirely conceivable. Anecdotally, I see a lot more conservatives going electric now that they have a brand that shares their values. Anyone remember how right wing people hated social media a decade ago? They didn’t really hate social media, they hated that their views weren’t popular there.

Can we not do clickbait titles?

third year was my favorite as well; it was easily the most compelling story and makes the death of Sirius that much more painful in 6

Samsung is basically all Korean?

Yeah, they were definitely removed at some point.

Issue with waiting for the R2/3 is that the tax credits will probably be gone by then.

The issue is that the alternatives generally aren’t that much better in a vacuum. Infotainment vs Tesla infotainment (removing the CarPlay merits): It’s not even close. Tesla is like 10-15 years ahead of everything else on the US market in their price range. Car manufacturers famously lock in their tech and designs something like 3 years before public release.

Will there be meaningful software updates for your Kia EV6 in 2028? Absolutely not, no way.

Do you want to tow anything more than 1000Kg? Good luck outside of Tesla.

NACS? Not one single other car available yet.

Do you want a dashcam? Rivian is the only other brand, IIRC.

I’m not apologizing for Tesla, but it’s really painful how awful all other cars are compared to the competition.
