I testdrove the S24 Ultra with Galaxy buds to try to switch from an iPhone and the biggest complaint I had is that “okay Google” from the earbuds basically never worked. The S25U has that walkie talkie button, but I only use my assistant via voice when my hands are full… it just kills it for me entirely.
When 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins comes on, I generally skip it because it makes me want to cry.
Has anyone tried to see if Gemini works with a wake word? What about with Bluetooth headset?
The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.
Myself included lol.
Moi même aussi lol
I’m in the same boat. Just be consistent and persistent. It’s a lot harder that you’re divorced with kids, but you could make a good argument for the school quality in France for your kids if they’re young enough to adapt to French. Study the language as much as possible before moving there; the closer you are to fluency, the easier you’ll have it. Paris is a crutch, explore small cities to practice your French.
I actually really like that concept. Super clean, super usable, nice linear animations.
I’ve been saying option 2 was in full force after Elmo went right wing years ago. You see it here in Arizona. The Trump right wingers are not principled outside of religion, and even then there’s an argument against that. If there’s a lack of principals, and their opinions are handed to them by Fox News and Newsmax, then option 2 is entirely conceivable. Anecdotally, I see a lot more conservatives going electric now that they have a brand that shares their values. Anyone remember how right wing people hated social media a decade ago? They didn’t really hate social media, they hated that their views weren’t popular there.
Can we not do clickbait titles?
Samsung is basically all Korean?
Yeah, they were definitely removed at some point.
Issue with waiting for the R2/3 is that the tax credits will probably be gone by then.
The issue is that the alternatives generally aren’t that much better in a vacuum. Infotainment vs Tesla infotainment (removing the CarPlay merits): It’s not even close. Tesla is like 10-15 years ahead of everything else on the US market in their price range. Car manufacturers famously lock in their tech and designs something like 3 years before public release.
Will there be meaningful software updates for your Kia EV6 in 2028? Absolutely not, no way.
Do you want to tow anything more than 1000Kg? Good luck outside of Tesla.
NACS? Not one single other car available yet.
Do you want a dashcam? Rivian is the only other brand, IIRC.
I’m not apologizing for Tesla, but it’s really painful how awful all other cars are compared to the competition.

Not necessarily Carl Benz himself, but it has been litigated that the company had ties to the nazi regime. I’m not arguing that Mercedes was founded on Nazi values, I’m just saying there was a connection and a less than stellar history of bedfellows.
Everyone forgets where the German cars, Henry Ford, etc came from politically.
I was looking into my first EV, and politics just didn’t weigh that much into the decision. Now, the “infotainment as a perpetual service”, that turned me off and away from Tesla. With CarPlay my car dash will never lose service, and will always be free to use with updates from Apple/Google. I can’t imagine why people would ever pay for their infotainment when CarPlay is better or equal in all cases to the alternative.
That said, if Tesla and other brands were equally weighted in my purchase decision, I’d then happily rule Tesla out based on merit.
Only because my spouse’s parents are both dead (early, accidents) and he inherited several hundred thousand dollars and life insurance money. I personally have a negative net worth, and with divorce I’d probably only break even. I basically lucked out of not living with my parents/grandparents for the rest of their life. On the flip side though, I regret the marriage because he refuses to move to a country with better social safety nets should something go wrong; living knowing that should his nest egg dry up, that we’ll be on the street in retirement, is inherently really stressful [we live in the USA].
I have a BS, with probably no inheritance coming (I’ve been told so).
He’s a certified accountant and makes double what I do. He controls all the money for obvious reasons.
To enjoy the chemical pleasures that life has to offer, in its fullest.
As someone who uses Hotspot in my car and with my laptop, I wish iOS was instant and consistent. In the future, I want to put an iPad in my car’s center console so an instant tether would be mission critical for that purpose.
