Current generation of CarPlay is failing in my 2020 Mazda since iOS 18. (Not just me, it's all over the Mazda online forums.) Most requests of Siri will crash CarPlay, requiring unplugging and replugging of phone. No fix from Apple yet, and the loss of Siri requests really undermines the whole "hands off" point of CarPlay. My wife's 15 Pro that's still running iOS 17 has no issue. 

I've had two Honda cars with CarPlay. Both came with wired CarPlay not wireless. CarPlay worked without issues in my 2017 Honda Accord hybrid. But my 2020 CRV hybrid CarPlay used to crash constantly require me to hold down the volume button until it restarted. I think part of the problem is the display is actually running some really old version of android that cannot be upgraded. I got a wireless CarPlay adapter, and any issues almost totally went away.  

I always buy purses made out of vegan leather. It's actually made from mushroom skin. It's treated the same as animal skin and turned into leather. It's as good if not better than animal leather.

I have the one without the internal hard drive. Which is good because once a week I rotate the drive it is connected to it and keep it off premise in case of disaster.

But I have its Wi-Fi turned off as I have replaced my AirPorts with Omaga hardware.

I also still have two AirPorts Expresses also with their WiFi turned off, as I use them to stream music to two of my rooms.

Am I the only one that could not care less what the phone looks like only about its function

I own a bunch of these.

I like that they remember their last power state if the power goes out.

For the most part, they work well, with one caveat. They leak more current than my other smart plugs so I've had issues with LED panels glowing when off. I tried adding a load capacitor, but that did not help. I finally switched these devices to one of my other brand smart plugs.

Also, I had one go bad after a few months.
