I wouldn’t know where to begin listing all the things I hate about recent iOS versions.
I like now having charger dock awareness /standby mode, but why? oh why is there no widget available that offers media control?! Surely this would be one of the most sought interactions with a docked device?

Can’t trust ABC on anything these days - The World Today talks about an “eleven hectare fire that has been burning for weeks”. Sounds not that big to me, so search the website: Story dated “Sun 19 Feb” - ooh, they saved so many characters abbreviating day and month - don’t bother with year: ‘2012’.

For years, maybe more than a decade, I’ve been typing in alt-text for images I post, occasionally magnifying someone else’s screencap until I can read it, then transcribing or finding the original source to repost… now I’ve been given the newest ‘smart’phone I’ve ever had - about five years old. 1/2

I’ve been fortunate in my four months of #EVOwnership to have only shared a charging station for minutes so far … until today.
Be warned: a 75kW station will only supply <30kW to each of two vehicles sharing it. And my #BYDShark always less than the other - plugged in before or after. 1/2

I had been hoping to find a good introductory explanation of #Apple #CarPlay, but if www.apple.com/au/ios/carpl... doesn’t even list 2025 model vehicles, is it still even a thing?
When it does seem to connect to my #BYDShark, I’m always needing to dismiss some junk from U2, so must delete that too.
