I drive a 2025 Kia Ceed and the all the infotainment does is get in my way. Id pay to have it removed.
Carplay & Siri helps me stay focused on driving in a safe way.
Youre not alone with the problem: if device lost -> difficult to reach family
No matter what solution you choose you will need to remember something. I have two family members who always answer, so their phone numbers are the only two I know. By dialing them manually now and then I make sure my memory is working.
In the age of AI/voice generators I’ve also told them how I will identify myself.
So if being mugged in Kiwiland, and they get a call where I ask them to transfer money they can do so knowing it would only be me making that request as I told them the secret phrase: ”yes, it was me who tipped over the Christmas tree”.
Ofcourse not that, but something none of the inner family will ever forget.
OT: this is the first time Ive encountered a branching article. Awesome. The ability has been there for decades, but never used. Guess going from print to digital is not only a change of tools but a mindset.
US government is a farce. How can they have a system that completely halts every now and then just because the ones in charge can’t agree?
If this is such a big issue, and it’s repeating: plan ahead.
Anyone else open for internet v2?
Like a completely new system, with everything that we enjoyed with the first one around the millenia: buggy webpages, slow downloads, crappy browsers, having to download plugins…
The issue is that the letter that pops may be replaced, if it later changes its mind. Eg if you hit U, get a U popup, and sofly release while moving into the target area for J.
You get a J.
For me it’s dealbreaker that it’s available via homebrew.
Not a stance or anything, but when I get a new Mac I use homebrew bundle
If it’s not in my brewfile from old Mac, theres a high probability I won’t get it installed.
