When I owned an android, it just felt like there was always something I had to keep fiddling with to keep up an optimal experience. This could all be a reflection on me and the kind of person I am; always trying to make sure everything is fully optimized, but I’m certainly not unique in this way.
And full disclosure,…

that’s all true - plus the apple devices are part of an ecosystem. Apple as a firm does offer more than android does just because of the vertical integration, even if the device itself may not have as good a camera etc. But that’s all optional. So it’s just a different strokes for different folks.

The choice in phones is not always about raw amount of features. I’ve owned both android and iphone and while I loved all the customization and functionality of androids, I found myself never using 99% of what it was capable of doing. At the end of the day, I just wanted a reliable and easy to use device that I didn’t…

Oh I dunno, maybe it’s cus the S24 lineup was launched THIS QUARTER and the newest iPhone came out LAST YEAR. You would think this would be mentioned in the article…

Yeah, but I’m 53....

did you not read the “I’m old” part?

Agreed. Android Auto is a total gamechanger. 

To be fair, Toyota had one of the worst assisted cruise control systems. The last rental I got was a 2023 and wasn’t nearly as bad, but it may have had to do with it being a pretty open freeway cruise. Every other regular brand does a better ACC though. 

Amen. I can’t tell you how happy I was when I figured out how to turn off the adaptive cruise on my Tacoma. 

But you can easily burn your CD’s to MP3's....   I have my entire vintage CD collection on a 32GB SD card that’s been in my car for 10 years.

Carplay shouldn’t really be considered an option at this point. Either a car comes with it or I am not buying it.

that doesn’t mean the cops are right in murdering people. we have laws and a justice system for a reason.

Oh, so you’re just another bootlicker.

So if we skip over the fact that noone can seem to say what this guy has done that is so bad. Lets play pretend that he is Jeffery Escobar Dahmer the third. there are two things that together makes the cops story strange.

My neighbor, a few years back, was driving home, with his wife in the passenger seat, and their two infant boys with them in car seats.

Fair. Experience is everything. I’ve been detained, punched, pepper sprayed, kicked and held in a choke hold for doing nothing more than being at a series of legal protests. (One anti-globalisation protest, one LGBTQ2S+ rights protest, and one peace protest (a looong time ago)). Literally standing in one spot, doing…

Early 20s; 30 years ago. My distrust is earned on the frontlines of peaceful protests.

96 shots over 41 seconds.

I suspect we’ll learn more about what went down and why in the coming days.

I cant watch the video at work, but unmarked car and police in street clothes (which is what it sounds like these cops were from the article) cannot expect to be treated like cops when they run up on people.
