It’s interesting that the plethora of Amazon adverts are not shown to be such.  Lots of media sites do it, and I find it very odd. Amazon is a poor operator, taking advantage of and treating very badly, its suppliers, warehouse staff, delivery drivers and countries where it pays little or no tax.  It also treats its customers poorly: if you review an item and then don’t buy but go back later, the price will have increased.  Amazon is often not the cheapest and, also, I have found many examples where its power is so great, even major companies won’t supply distributors or other shops in preference to Amazon. All in all a pretty poor show.

I’m with Rotateleftbyte: F1 is only about the money and there is precious little overtaking, except because of pitstops. There are distinct levels of teams whereby the winner of a race gets the most money which means the top teams get an increasingly large income, which hardly creates better racing.  Most of the excitement from F1 is because of team arguments, rather than racing. I used to watch F1 but no more.  I have also worked in motorsport for over 40 years. Give me a meeting of ten lap races of one make series any day! 15 races in one day and really good quality racing all the time.

i also feel the reference to F1 being for adults is a bit unpleasant.

Ultimately, there is no point accepting anything Trump say as fact or truthful and he’ll change his mind when it suits him.  He only wants to cause chaos from which he personally profits.

There’s going to have to be a major improvement in how all the iDevices interact with each other if this is going to work.  I have an iPhone, two iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV, original HomePod and a Mini, plus AirPod Max and AirPod Pro 2, plus a new car with AirPlay.  Yes, lucky me.  However, they do not interact well with both HomePods playing different music, though they are in different rooms with rooms in between and even if I speak softly inches away from one HomePod.  My iPhone won’t Airplay to my HomePods without dropping the connection after a couple of minutes, neither HomePod will play as a radio, and using more than one app in the car causes the connection to collapse.  I can have Apple Maps and most of the time Apple Music playing but add a phone call and it all drops out.

My view is Apple needs to sort out how it wants its devices to operate and interact with one another (it should be faultless, particularly in an home with all the devices on the same WiFi network) and sort out the basics.  There is too much updating all the time.  Quite often nothing works with anything else.  I appreciate as I use public betas they are not infallible but it is all too frequent that the basics just don’t work.

I, for one, shall only get apps from the official Apple Store.  I’d much rather have the protection of Apple and its security.
