It is also a problem for us IT guys, when we need to migrate users from one phone to another it is super annoying to deal with eSIMs

lol no.

Especially not one run by a techbro.

I live in a suburb to the north of Stockholm, I have experienced the GPS jamming first hand.

There were a few days when my car’s inbuilt GPS thought I was driving around in another suburb on the other side of the city.

Does anyone know if GPS has the abillity to do signed packets?

I mean, I’d rather the GPS fail completely, than giving me false data.

Ever since the start of internet connected vehicles this has been on the table, before it wasn’t really possible to manage subscriptions like this, now it is as easy as changing $SUBSCR_INF_ACP from a 0 to a 1 on your account to enable CarPlay, once you have paid.

Though, to be fair, I would like better integration with the onboard systems, something like Carplay lite.

It would basically present the content on the phone, music, podcasts, audiobooks, maps, etc. to the onboard infotainment system.

Apps with audio media would appear as audio sources, inside the audio sources, any menu would be presented in a standard UI.

Basically, the phone would simply send something like an XML file of how the menu should be displayed, and the infotainment has a rendering engine to render the UI in a style that is integrated with the car’s UI.

That would solve one of the biggest issues with CarPlay/AA, the forced touchscreen.

In my 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback, I have a fantastic steeringwheel, it has plenty of excellent controls, regarding media, I have a volume wheel by my left thumb, I can also press it to pause the media, on the right side of the steering wheel I have buttons for skip/previous.

If I could interact with the menus in CarPlay using the thumbwheel and a separate back button, that would be amazing.

The wheel clicks when moving it, so if you could simply have it move the selection on the menu with every click it would be brilliant.

Though I would need another thumbwheel to set the volume…

My point is that if deeper integration of phone media in the infotainment system could enable a UI less dependent on a a touchscreen, I would love to try it.

Lucky for you, I don’t judge people for replying to the wrong comment.

I sort of assumed that these days design patents are mostly ignored by smartphone companies.

After a while it just makes sense to drop the legal stuff and stop wasting money on constant lawsuits.

People who judge other people based on nothing other than what technology brand they use instantly are instantly lower on my respectometer.

Fuck off with that shit.

I used Symbian for years, then I used android tablets as a complement to the Symbian phones for years, then I got an iPhone for work, and when my last Symbian device died I got an iPhone as I knew the OS from my work phone. A few years later I tried an Android phone for a few months, but when the display got totaled in a drop, and I had to send the phone away, I just got back to my iPhone as it was easier to fix on the spot in local repair shops.

I am an IT guy, I don’t care about blue or green bubbles, if you are on Android, that is fine, that probably works better for you, for me iOS has so far served me well.

Stop judging others for their preference of tech brands. Apple and Google are both evil.

But these laws are not anti immigration, they are anti freedom in general.

Dear techbros, how about you stop all deepfake ads on your plattform instead of deliberately making things worse for everyone?

They do this every few years, when the contract is up for negotiation, M$ will make a way cheaper option, and they will switch back

Sigh, I truly meant it as a a way of saying that I don’t care if I am being monitored, I will keep protesting and posting about them.

I am happy to accept being the most in the wrong, it is not unreasonable to read it that way.

Only due to a mistake, my intention was to to try and show solidarity with the people actually affected by ICE, by saying that I didn’t care if ICE monitored my posts, that it would not prevent me from protesting further.

As I woke up this morning, I realized my mistake and have tried to rectify it.

Fair, my comment was rude and arrogant, though I maintain that it was a (failed) attempt at showing contempt toward ICE, telling them that I will keep critisising even if they monitor my account.

I am fully aware and horrified about chat control, I am doing my best to work against it, please see my other responses to understand what went wrong with my comment.

This entire comment chain is a just a mis understanding, I made a bad attempt at being edgy and note that I would not stop protesting ICE just because my account may be monitored.

I can now see how it fell flat, and I am sorry for the miscommunication.

Ok, clearly there has been a miscommunication here.

I was trying to say that I don’t care about if I am monitored, I will keep protesting ICE.

I did try and say it a bit edgy which was wrong, I can see that now.

I am sorry for the miscommunication.

No?

I thought I was pretty clear,I was trying to say that I don’t care about if they monitor my account, I will keep protesting ICE on social media
