Seriously is a like / dislike feature so complicated that it makes it impossible for them to set up and algorithm? It seems kinda simple

They want you to listen to the algorithm, op, not tell it what to do.

Bury my body down by the highwayside, so that my old evil spirit can get a Greyhound bus and ride
I guess I should have been more concerned that my AirPod pros seem to work gently caress all with the find my network, one of our rear end in a top hat cats pulled my MagSafe puck with my case on it down and of course the lovely hinge on the case easily pops open dispensing the AirPods which then rear end in a top hat cat takes somewhere, and now they’re last seen like 2 days ago when I was loving using them this morning (why wouldnt use update their loving location at least??). Stupid cat, stupid apple. Stupid me I guess.

Found one bud under the fridge pretty charged but no line on the second. Unrelated, does anyone want a cat that’s too smart for its own good or two?

E2: super cool I had put them in lost mode and when I popped lefty in the case (the one I found under the fridge) find my was all “hey I found it!” So I opened that to see if maybe the right one updated location, and apparently now I have an “incomplete setup” and can’t find any location on the buds or case anymore. I was gonna order a replacement to get with the USB C times but now I’m kinda inclined to say gently caress this poo poo until the find my network starts working correctly for these fuckers (doing some googling it seems fairly common for them to never work or only work about one time on find my).

If it’s in the house, try installing LightBlue:

then walk around looking for spikes in the signal strength bars. It’s worth a go at least.

So I messed around with the SIM pin and hosed things up. I tried to enable it for security but it didn’t seem to take, and now I’m locked out of my network. My provider (Lebara) says it should be 0000 or 1234 but those don’t work.

If when I call someone it asks for my sim pin, I enter anything and then it asks me to enter a new Pin twice does that indicate anything to anyone?

I also can’t disable it in settings :(

You should have a PUK code in your original welcome kit, you can reset the pin code using that.

Thanks, I was leaning toward that one. The OTTOCAST official store has 4 seemingly identical listings with different ship dates and prices. Trying to navigate that to figure out if there's a real difference between any of them.

So frustrating when they intentionally make these things so confusing.

Following up on this. The OTTOCAST was WAAAY smaller than I expected and with a little 3M tape was able to be tucked away very nicely in my console. Works great! A little awkward at first to set it up until I followed the directions more accurately.

One thing, that may be a deal killer and may be the issue with all of these little devices, is that it doesn't seem to handle multiple drivers well. When I get in the car after my wife uses it, I have to unpair/repair the dang thing. If I get back in the car after driving it, there's no problem reconnecting to it. The inability to hot-swap between the two is going to be a real challenge. I emailed the company but based on other Q&A/reviews on the Amazon listing I am not optimistic. This was the same for the leading competitor the Carlinkit.

Trying to sort through if there's some other solution where I buy a second one and we just plug in the appropriate one when we get into the car. Takes a lot of the value of wireless carplay out of it, however, not having it randomly disconnect because the phone gets bumped would be an improvement.

It's also available in Ruby Red and Graphite, but we all know the right choice is Bondi Blue.

Amazon has it for $30, and then has a 5% off coupon you can clip, and then at checkout if you enter helloagain20 you might get another 20% off (code seems to be hit an miss for people).

Hrmm... further testing not repeating this behavior. My wife left and was the last one to drive the vehicle. I got in, it did NOT auto connect, I went in to BT settings and selected the OTTOCAST, within ten seconds, probably less, it fired right up.

Will need to test it from her phone when she gets home and see if it's user issue or if the last person who connected is within range, it'll be problematic and they have to disconnect.

I think it’s probably a Black Friday fake-discount kind of thing. Their site shows an inflated price that some people might pay, but they likely know the majority of folks will then go to Amazon and see how much cheaper it is there and think “wow, what a deal, it’s half off, I should buy it!” And if that isn’t the instance now, and they’re doing it because they’ve always done it this way, then it definitely started as a fake-discount thing.

I guess I understand why it changes but it’s so weird how different Siri voice regions pronounce names.

UK Siri correctly says “ah-Lee-Anne” for “Alianne”, whereas US Siri just calls them an “alien”.

Anne is pronounced in US English like “an”. That’s prolly why.

E: it’s also my personal experience that US English voices the “a” vowel different compared to like every other European language I know or have heard spoken. US English “a” is like “ayy” to me whereas “a” in those other european languages are more like “ah” like what the dentist asks you to say when you open your mouth. Just going by this I can see why Siri says that name like the word alien in us English.

Share Audio on the iPad if your model supports it.

If not (and I don't think the Switch can do that), daisychain some headphone splitters?

Share Audio supports 2 pairs of airpods. Headphone splitters max out at 2 pairs as well. 1 earbud/airpod each for 4 people.

None of that is universal across the country, but I guess Apple did have to make a choice instead of having like 150 regional variations of US English.

Just got this case along with all the other goons. I loving like it. The bondi blue color is perfect.

It is a bit bulkier than the finewoven case, but it lays flat on its back now!

Edit: Also I thought it was multiple pieces, but I'm dumb and that was just for illustrative purposes. It's nicely put together and fits precisely.

A lot of kids headphones have the cord go into one ear. Then in the other ear you can plug in another set of headphones. Keep it rolling as far as you like. For example. Not sure I bought that exact model for my kids. They were iClever branded though. Look at the last photo in this listing.

There is a flexible silver inner piece for the phone, and then the Bondi Blue hard shell and the translucent white bottom part go on over that silver inner piece.

I'm sorry for not answering the question asked, but I really find it unlikely that you can even watch the same film with 4 people on a plane. Even 3 would be tough.
Even worse for the Switch, unless you brought a portable monitor.
