Me: I'd like to try to use CarPlay pls.
Radio: ready.
Radio: Please wait (a stupidly long time... what could possibly be going on computers are FAAAAAST these days. Not like there's a 6502 handling some complicated sync)
Radio: sorry you must enable siri on the phone (bullshit #1 there's no legit reason for this)
Phone: no such option as Siri it's now called Apple intelligence (bullshit #2 there's also no legit reason for this) Me: OK enable it.
Phone: Will be enabled next time in WiFi coverage. (Bullshit #3 there at least should be an option to do it over cellular if you want)
Radio: OK still you cant have it. Even though you have enabled it (Bullshit #4 cos the phone is basivally saying Schrödinger's Siri enablement, it's on but it's also not)
Me: OK fuck all of this shit I'll use the phone as I was via old school Bluetooth.
Radio: nope nothing playing via bluetooth, even tho the sound is coming out of the radio and I'm STILL telling you that you can't enable CarPlay without Siri. And if you go into bluetooth audio it stops.
Phone: also if literally anything happens I will now also mute the music for a second and be silent for a sec when there clearly should be some sort of notification noise.
When did Apple stuff get this shit? It's all over the place.

It's not often you see a CVE perfect 10.
Anyone with a #Ubiquiti #Unifi network needs to update their Network controller immediately.

The laundry list of why MS Defender is SOOOOOOOO bad - from a user point of view - is so long, I almost immediately ended up not knowing where to begin.
Awful awful awful. Like the people that created it have almost no idea what they're doing.
