@Techn0Mark tbh, since CarPlay and Android Auto are available in basically every car (except T*sla) now, i don’t even care if there’s a 3.5mm aux port. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@rjcc sure, there’s a demographic that uses built in nav. the demographic that watches youtube car reviews use their phones :) — PolitiTweet.org

-does the steering wheel fly off when I driving? — PolitiTweet.org

@andyjayhawk take notes, Andy, there will be a quiz — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RDRv3 @c_davies to be clear: i don’t really read auto press. i watch shit on youtube, which is dominated by younger reviewers and a much younger audience. these reviewers should know better — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RDRv3 which would you rather trust to get you home: 2012 Apple Maps or 2003 MB cd-based nav system — PolitiTweet.org

@c_davies @RDRv3 keep up the good fight, chris — PolitiTweet.org

@RDRv3 i um, not sure that cd-based nav makes a ton of sense there david — PolitiTweet.org

@ozskier interesting demographic difference! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@ozskier nah, it’s not anyone in particular. i watch a lot of car videos on youtube and rarely get the q’s i want answered. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Jimmy_Coconuts yeah mention it and then tell readers to just put a case over it like they were planning to do anyways :) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RDRv3 yes, but reviewers should ask! like, these are things that directly impact day to day usability — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

things i would like to know instead of satellite radio stuff or infotainment minutiae: -how fast are the USB ports for charging? -does it support wireless carplay/Android Auto? how well does that work? -where do i put my phone when using carplay/AA? does it slide around a lot? — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Farbulus that would drive me bonkers — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Farbulus this would be a good thing for reviwers to point out! literally never see them say how fast the charging ports actually are — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Jimmy_Coconuts a fair point! i think that’s relevant when the manufacturer makes a big deal about some new finish or whatever that turns out to be a gross fingerprint magnet or makes the phone impossibly slippery to hold — PolitiTweet.org

@RDRv3 what olds are watching youtube car reviews? the demographics do not line up with that at all — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@robblackwellAB i don’t have much issue with it in my experience. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@theMrMobile nah, no butt rock for me, thanks — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Wee_Bey78 you think they are watching youtube car reviews? let me show you some demographics — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

and good god no, i do not care about the satellite radio features, another thing i will never ever touch. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

“it has google maps!” ok so does any smartphone i plug into it? who cares — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i 100 percent do not are how detailed the built in maps are. it does not matter to me at all. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

one thing i’ll never understand about youtube car reviewers is how much they are obsessed with infotainment systems and built in navigation when i’m just going to use carplay or android auto and never touch 99% of it — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

you gotta hand it to Microsoft, it is very good at continuing to squeeze more blood out of the same old Surface Pro stone . . . . oh what's that, you DO NOT gotta hand it to them? ok got it. oh well. https://t.co/ZHmPe0O3e4 — PolitiTweet.org

it’s a sad state of affairs that we have to celebrate this, but here we are! — PolitiTweet.org

@stshank the worst is UWB is already used by the same product that uses Verizon UWB so you have do this stupid “no, not that one, the other one” song and dance in every damn article about it — PolitiTweet.org

@CaseyNewton i look forward to the Micrsoft Mesh Q2 2023 Service Pack 1 update — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

have we really run out of ideas on what to name things? mesh is already the name of a completely different, but widely used technology. why are you doing this to us microsoft — PolitiTweet.org
