  • Apple's iPhone 'Do Not Disturb While Driving' feature helping to reduce dangerous habits

    If there was a way to disable the default reply, I would turn it back on.  I do not want to prompt my correspondents to use the "urgent" feature. plus it is far too wordy.  All I want it to send, is something MUCH shorter, like: "Later, I am driving"  Nothing else.  (yes, I have left feedback)

    If the 6-digit PIN isn't enough, then do what the security-conscious users do—create a passcode using the full keyboard. Even just 4 characters is over 1 billion combinations with the iOS keyboard.
    Not withstanding, it being impossible to determine the LENGTH of the passcode.

    I'd love to do this but Facebook is unfortunately one of the only ways to keep casually connected to a lot of people who live far from me. I have no local "tribe" of my own, so I use social media to try to find some kinship on the internet instead. I'm not nearly alone in wanting to not be alone, while living, trapped, in a region filled almost exclusively with ideologically-opposite types of people. For people in my situation, it's not about trying to find an echo chamber or avoiding differing opinions; I'm swamped in them. It's about trying to feel like a member (rather than an unwanted outsider) of any part of society at all.
    I don't mean to pick on dysamoria, but this thinking absolutely stuns me.   I am really shocked to discover some people are that dependent on the platform.  I m beginning to understand I'm afraid.  I am really glad I never signed on.

  • Reminder -- the iTunes ability to play to multiple speakers is not AirPlay 2, but is prett...

    Users probably don't care how Apple does it, users just want HomePod stereo to be done and patiently waiting for it doesn't seem to be a viable option. I'm guessing every other smart speaker on the market can already do this function, so Apple would be considered lagging behind the entire smart speaker industry.
    Wirelessly?  Keeping things precisely sync'd to support accurate stereo is trickier than you think. So far AFAIK, the only product doing this at all is the AirPods.  Fabulously I might add. It is one of those things that MUST work flawlessly when it is released. No do-over.

    So, for $35 a month:  "Subscribers get access to live television shows from major broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox"
    With the possible exception of some Fox stuff, aren't those all public broadcasters that you can pick up free with a one time cost of $35 for a digital antenna?
    Gee!  What a deal!  I'll jump right on that one!  /s
    Yeah, but you can't DVR those live shows with your antenna.


    Why not?  I can record any OTA content on a TiVo, and watch it live or later, on any iPad or iPhone anywhere in the world.
