  • GM ditching Apple CarPlay is about money, not safety

    kingofsomewherehotkingofsomewherehot
    I really want to buy a Model S.  I'd love to play around with the FSD stuff.  Even though it's not really "Full Self Driving"... it is far and away the best autopilot/cruisecontrol available from ANY brand.
    But I want CarPlay. I use it all the time, I won't buy a car without it.
    So I spent more at Mercedes-Benz than I would have at Telsa... to get CarPlay.  It's just that useful to (most?) people.   In a different era of my life, I would have spent more at Ford or Toyota than I would have at GM in order to get CarPlay.  Hell, I'd pay a premium for a beat-up used car that had CarPlay, vs a beat-up used car that didn't.  People WANT the choice to use their own interface.

    I can't fathom how anyone at GM's marketing department thinks this is a good idea.

  • Format MacPro 2013 - Will it make a big difference?

    Just do it and run it... If you want to see a big improvement, replace your spinning start-up HDD with SSD (if you haven't already) !

    Once you start replacing CPU's, RAM, HDDs... et al... it's possible you'd get better performance for less money (task-dependent!) by just buying a M1-Mini :)

    No, they don't owe you anything.

    The damage (99% of it?) is YOUR fault... yet you expect someone else to fix it for you for free??? Grow a pair! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you voted for Obama
