You'd think so... GM has stated that they're doing away with CarPlay and Android auto in favour of their own thing, which will most likely suck on large ways. Ford, on the other ha…

Technically, yes you can. But do you really have the time to sit down to understand a piece of software enough to know if it's doing anything nefarious?

The email thing is probably a privacy requirement. Email isn't encrypted meaning your email provider (and the EMR's) can fully read the contents of said email.

As another father of a plane loving toddler, one of her favourite questions is "where's it going?". I'm wondering if some flight information is available and could be shown by sele…

It's faster for me than looking down to figure out where the numbers are on the top row

This is why I bought a PHEV. Only one car, 90% of the time we're on electric, and I still have the gas engine for when I want to go far.

To be fair to your last paragraph, you're less annoyed at EVs than at new cars in general. All new cars are trending towards this, with a few stragglers for the models that haven't…

Apple doesn't patch every security hole in older iOS versions. I don't know what the criteria is, but my guess is if it's a major security hole, or an easily backported one, they'l…

It's all well and good to say "oh you can just install a custom ROM". But you (and many here) can do that. Because you're technically inclined. But the vast majority have users hav…

They're not charging you, the user that 30%. They're charging the developer. Yes that does trickle down to you in the developer's pricing, but, in this instance, a phone no longer …

You can't seriously give Apple shit for this and at the same time praise Google. iPhones have, pretty consistently since the 5 or so, received 5 or 6 years worth of OS updates sinc…

I have an 8 plus and the only reason I'm gonna buy the 15 this year is because they're no longer supporting it. 6 years of support for a phone is pretty damn good.

That doesn't make money. Have the most popular search engine so they can sell more ads is more like it.

My i7 2700k is still my Plex server/sometimes gaming rig (mostly game on the switch nowadays). With a 6650xt I was playing Spiderman at 1440p pretty well. I'll update it someday bu…

There is actually. North America has 2 or 3 large interconnects that are basically large power grids. Two places are separate: Texas and Quebec. While Quebec has a decent amount of…

The Transit app will include Uber and maybe other rideshare apps alongside public transit when looking at a trip

that website is perfect for making the timing on the carousel way too fast, thus showing you another annoying thing about them.

It's only the air that is limited to a single monitor. I have an m1 pro and it's running two monitors daily. 4k, one 32:9 1440p ultrawide

Yeah. The back camera sits behind the screen whereas the front one pokes through it. I wouldn't be surprised if they were fairly even in terms of thickness.

Does Plex work through them? If so you could run a Plex server

Vista was a necessary evil on Microsoft's end. While yes some things weren't great (Aero), the main issue was always drivers. Microsoft had to switch the ways drivers work for some…

As much as there's somewhat of a point where a "standard, no vendor lock-in" messaging system is desirable, (RCS or otherwise), Google is the last company that should be giving any…

I have one. It's a RWD car and the front wheels can turn so much that instead of turning, the car will actually start to drag the front wheels unless you're going really slow.

There's also the downpayment to think of. While the monthly payments may not have changed all that much, the downpayment certainly has.

Still Go. I mean there's no central repository in the way there's one for npm, and yes you can point it to any git repo as the source for your dependencies, but the reality is most…
