@craiggrannell and theres NO reason Apple should be running ads in the store. None at all. They're making way more than enough out of their premium, premium product. Ads just cheapen that and exploit the user.

But Apple no longer care.

@cR0w I'll take that.
@HopelessDemigod Also not remotely enough flashy leds and funky tiny displays. Screw boring Ascends ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@robinince know that many many people think that you are most excellent.
@HopelessDemigod they ripped the USR total controls and replaced them with ascend in UUNET UK, but I thought the USRs were cool so I'm downbeat on the ascends ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@jerry @GossiTheDog dammit! I'm just really really starting to love mastodon, and the bots have arrived to spoil it.
What the fook does "elevated error rates" mean in practice anyway?
@HopelessDemigod I love that ascend got nowt ๐Ÿ˜‚

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 Schrรถdinger'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.

@flowrider @anon_opin yea absolutely. Aldi surely.
