RE: @macrumors@mastodon.social

Because of shenanigans like this I stopped using Chrome as a backup browser years ago. Went to Edge (which usually behaved the same) but then it started becoming abusive too.

I think most people will be well suited to Safari with FireFox as a backup or vice versa. I rarely encounter Safari incomparability and when I hear about it on like podcasts, it seems people installed too many ad-blockers (or similar) and forgot about them.

@atpfm@mastodon.social Regarding “AirPods Ultra” possibly having cameras for visual intelligence for turn-by-turn navigation, I wonder if Apple would feel conflicted about that. Turn-by-turn is certainly useful for walking and biking directions. For driving, there are many jurisdictions (US states, etc) where it is illegal to have earbuds (maybe 2) in while driving. And there's many where it is not illegal!

Replying to @atpfm@mastodon.social
@atpfm@mastodon.social Regarding the term "Ultra"used by Apple, it could be considered to go back decades! When the Apple Online Store was new (late 90s early 00s) customers were presented with usually 3 primary configurations of a Power Mac or PowerBook: sometimes explicitly shown as, sometimes only internally and/or on the invoice called Good, Better, Best. And you could then customize. Often there was a pre-configured total high end called Ultra which was even stocked (sorta secretly) in some stores.

I'm getting a spate of obvious spam calls. (they come from the area code where i lived 10 years ago but I have no business there now) … I picked up and a guy with an Indian accent asks if I have trouble with my AT&T service.

I didn't have as many problems with brand-new Apple Maps as many complainers I saw. But strangely, it didn't handle frontage roads in Texas very well, which is ironic because Apple even then had a pretty big campus in Austin.

I was trying to get to a friend's new house in San Antonio, and it took me a while to realize the iPhone was just taking me in circles.

Twitter user https://twitter.com/pmcg №4,574,161 April 2007. Not happy to be here, but let's try it out. A hundred thousand tweets over there, for now. I like Macintosh computers, and airplanes, and politics. Once of NJ and TX, now of NC.
