I think it’s time to cancel my subscription and instead use the net. Usenet.

I agree with you. CarPlay is a must have feature in 2023. I wouldn’t buy a car without a backup camera or parking sensors anymore, and I sure as hell won’t buy a car without CarPlay either. It’s such a bizarre decision by GM.

Well, it pretty much feels like this! Took it in Santiago from the tallest building downtown :-)

I’m a frequent globetrotter. I find Apple Maps’ quality is basically proportional to the install base in the region. In the US, UK, Canada, Germany… it’s as good or better than Google Maps. In Android-dominant countries though? Good luck. Try it Poland or Portugal and the results are mixed. As for less developed countries? In Mexico or Brazil it’s next to useless.

Yes, it’s a private cable news and entertainment network in the states.

True but that’s been occupied for a lot longer and is also farther away, so it would be easier to feel “secure” there for a propagandised Russian. But places like Mariupol on the other hand, where the war is so close and recent..

It’s pretty telling that a large portion of the switch game library are ps3/360 ports. I love first party Nintendo titles as much as the next guy but it’s beyond time for a refresh. Console was a potato at release but now it’s a fucking dinosaur. really just not beefy enough for modern stuff.

It seems surprising that Russians would want to buy property in the occupation zone, with the war still ongoing. If Ukraine wins, no doubt their property rights will be declared null and they will be sent packing. Why take the risk? My only guess is that they must be so heavily propagandised as to not seriously contemplate the possibility of loss.
