Notes

Apparently my car which has an infotainment screen powered by Android Automotive, has only just now gained Android Auto support two years after it got Apple CarPlay support

Are these two separate groups at Google or something?

Also, Google is bad at naming things

"E-mail from Fedex Delivery Manager - Your shipment is on the way two hundred eighty two billion nine hundred thirty one million eight hundred eighteen thousand..."

Surely there must be engineers at Apple that actually have "Announce Notifications" enabled, why has it been like this for years

My trusty iPhone Mini 13 is never going to get "Apple Intelligence" but it'd be nice if they could at least teach Siri that "$25 Billion" should not be read "twenty-five dollars billion" and that a 12-digit FedEx tracking number in an e-mail notification should not be read as if it were an amount

I wonder what's on those floppies

I get that people "watch" items on eBay just to see what they sell for or hoping that the seller sends a lower-priced offer when there is no "or Best Offer" but what is the point of watching this thing I'm selling for $5?

"do you now or have you ever had health insurance?"
"yes"
"your honor, the state requests this juror be dismissed"

rate my ortholinear keeb

Remove exhausted batteries immediately!

Is it a rule somewhere that everything mailed from China must have that same yellow/brown tape on the box?

Apropos of nothing, here's the story from last year of how the Wi-Fi in @bluescsi.com came to be:
