It's easily the worst of the "assistant" apps and I don't see that changing...ever.

Car mfg are revolting against letting carplay do much outside of infotainment. We're stuck unless apple pays or the customer.

Yeah it's pretty lovely - I have no freaking clue why car companies are starting to fight against it.

It became a solved problem and now they are unsolving it. I probably won't buy a car unless it has Carplay support.

They largely are - we aren't the target demographic for iPad OS.

I mean, it scales for poo poo. This is what it looks like on my car, it's silly.



That is an Apple problem, not a car manufacturer problem

Hahahaha, that's legitimately hilarious, sorry you gotta put up with that my dude. I have a tiny 8 inch screen on my Leaf and it actually looks really good there.

My husband legit exclusively uses his iPad for everything, he has literally not touched a real computer at home in years.

Honestly I use my iPad for 90% of my browsing and general home use. I use my laptop for specific purposes but it's mostly just the iPad. If I could commit to using a magic keyboard with it I probably would never use my laptop.

So I'm kinda with your husband on this one.

I refuse to believe Game Mode is going to do a drat thing for gaming on MacOS.

Just get a PC already if you wanna game on PC.

Well, enjoy your walking simulator I guess.

I thought Death Stranding flopped. Is good?

It's...eh. The first couple of hours are incredible and peak Kojima madness. Then you realize that's the entire game and it's hard to really care about it going forward.

So how much is 120 minutes of Kojima insanity worth to you?

Can’t left handed people just put the witch on upside down? Does the watch not rotate?

You can use it all four orientations. If you're right handed (so watch is on your left wrist) you could wear it "upside down" if you wanted to.

Jose Oquendo posted:

wait. Am I doing something wrong? I'm left handed and put the watch on my left wrist, oriented correctly so the crown is on the upper right corner.

So ignore what Apple is showing - they do it because it's easier to display in a presentation. The "proper" way to orient the watch is to have the crown is on the outside - away from your hand. So lower left on left wrist or upper right on right wrist. But you could wear it the other way if you wanted to, so there isn't a true "wrong" way.

I alternate which wrist I use my watch to keep the suntan line at a minimum. :smug:

Huh, that's honestly a brilliant idea. I golf a ton so I got a pretty good tan, but my right wrist is pale as hell because of my watch.

I feel like they have the best shot at doing this, but I’m curious how much time and money they’re gonna put into this if it doesn’t sell as well as they hoped.

It’s probably too early to guess, who knows if they say it today... What does everyone think the price is gonna be?

My guess is $1999.

Rageaholic posted:

That seems low considering it's an Apple product with all this poo poo going on in it.

Yeah but if it's any more expensive than $1999, which already feels like a lot, then it's going to be a nonstarter for the overwhelming majority of the population, especially in the current economy.

Which, again, why loving bother with this product?
