I'm guessing it's probably 2 kids in laps, and the headphones are to keep them as quiet as possible not to annoy other travelers. Pretty common thing for parents traveling with young kids.

Yeah I know 4 is pushing it but it was just coverage for the worst case. We also have 15” laptop and 12.9 gen2 iPad which is big enough for 3ppl on a plane. 4ppl impossible on plane usually unless you have the middle 4 seats but then one person won’t be able to see poo poo.

I wonder whether you can use multiple sets of USB-C headphones simultaneously on an iPad (or 15, I guess!) oh, I probably have enough devices to do it here. Using a 15 Pro and a Thunderbolt dock, I can't get output out of multiple USB devices at the same time. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Dec 7, 2023 |

loving google maps. They made a change to it so pulling down no longer refreshes public transport routes, but instead it minimizes the bottom pane. Okay what’s the least garbage maps app on ios.

Apple Maps won’t load the route I take to work when I turn highways off but Google Maps will so that’s basically all there is to it

I’ve thought about it but it’d be a weird request, since Apple Maps is correct to consider Route 29 a highway but Google Maps gives me what I really want which is “not Interstate 66.”

The real answer is that every mapping program is gonna have some weird, showstopper quirk that fucks up your commute so you need to test a couple and pick the least bad option.

Apple Maps: Drive through every avoidable school zone on the commute. Google Maps: Use this dirt road that actually makes the commute longer. In-car Navigation: Keep taking highway exits and then immediately get back on the highway. Also use that dirt road and those school zones.

Making 30 turns and flooring it through 1/40th sections of sideroads is just the Waze cost of saving a second.

Google Maps has a eco friendly mode which is how I realized I should accept being stuck on the shorter and more congested freeway instead of blazing down the longer emptier one at 90mph.

If Apple Maps had better real-time info (traffic, cops, etc) in my area I would use it in a heartbeat. For now it's Waze.

Some phones just have goofy GPS radios. My buds phone, whatever it is (not an iPhone) has a large variance that every time he's on the freeway and is nearing an exit that he he doesn't want to take, Google Maps will go down that path recalculate the route, realize they didn't exit and recalculate back to the original route. We tested with my iPhone 13 and it was much more consistent on staying on track.

My biggest Apple Maps pet peeve: When I pick a route that's not necessarily the fastest route (maybe i want to take the scenic route), but then I miss a turn, when it recalculates it completely changes the route back to the fastest one.

My biggest mapping wish list item: MUTE FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE TRIP I set the nav to my destination 500 miles away upon starting the car so I don't have to do it later while driving, but it insists on explaining patiently to me turn by turn how to get out of my own loving driveway. I know how to get on the 95 god dammit

It is somewhat baffling how after all this time nav apps are still so barebones though. I guess they figure mainstream apps can't have any complexity, even hidden, lest you freak out the normies. Power user nav apps must exist but i suppose you'd have to pay a subscription fee.

Hdip posted: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. Huh that’s neat. But not seeing many models with that feature. I’ll probably stick to a splitter tho. Splitter seems easier to manage with less points of failure. What a time to be alive!

I have vocals on all gps apps disabled because they're so insanely verbose. "in 2 miles take the exit for fuckoff street route 69 towards shitbag town" Listen siri I got music playing I don't need you talking that much over the tunes. Just tell me to turn right.

Data Graham posted:My biggest mapping wish list item: This wouldn’t be an issue if it was easy to turn on/off the spoken directions, but it takes like 4 taps of the screen on a very small button to do this (in Apple Maps). You used to be able to do it just by tapping the giant black box that has the next turn in it, but they changed it like two OS upgrades ago and I hate it Also, for the people who like Waze’s speed trap notifications but hate everything else about it - if you’re using CarPlay, you can use Apple Maps but open Waze in the background and don’t set a route. Even when you switch to Apple Maps, Waze will keep running and alert you to any speed traps or other notifications.
