You nailed it.

My comment was 10,000% sarcasm. Of course they don’t add jobs, trickledown economics is a complete crock of shit lol

Bahahaha I felt that I didn’t have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong…

But if they lose money they can’t invest it and create jobs.

Good stuff, that’s not terrible at all, just the tinyest bit of preplanning - the phone hotspot is an excellent idea.

How have you found offline mode to work while traveling? I remember hearing early on it was a bear to use without wifi without extra steps.

I’m in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.

That is absolutely hilarious. They should’ve offered him @twitter in exchange, it would only be fair…

10:10 wholesome response.

Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!

This is the most interesting one I’ve read so far.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.

This is what I mean. Why isn’t there an option to not auto connect? Why do we need to select per car? It really does feel odd.

Far and away my least favorite aspect of Android auto is not having a simple, easy option to toggle auto connect.

Another poster shared how to disable auto connect through settings - when I went that route my phone no longer would connect to the car. I had to do it, however because it would auto activate my Bluetooth and fight my wife’s phone to connect in our car.

Android auto started as a phenomenal idea, but through its quest to be as convenient as possible, it went too far and became incredibly burdensome if you have multiusers or don’t want to always connect.

Sorry for my rant, Android auto has really been a frustration for me recently, enough to the point where I’ve uninstalled it entirely and am back to using my phone on a mount.

User name checks out…?

How likely is a federated threads going to be used to harvest data for whatever advertising or AI purpose meta has?

Aside from ensuring their launch product has immediate content, the only reason meta would do this is for that $$.

That said, it could be a symbiotic relationship with instances who’s users aren’t super worried about that & find value from the addtl content it will surely bring.
