I’ve seen that countless times on tech based subs when I was on that site. Very weird to see a feature suggestion bring up so much hostility from people.

I’m so thankful it’s a long weekend! My job actually gave us tomorrow and Tuesday off. I’m in super relax mode.

The announcement I’ve been waiting for! Pre ordered the EX30 on the day of the unveiling so I’m really happy to hear this.

Been an interesting last couple weeks seeing automakers join the NACS party. Seems like slowly but surely they all will announce support at some point. Hoping Volvo/Polestar is next!

It was! I've been resisting the urge to buy one now. I have no need for it besides just to have one.

I first started using Apple products in elementary school. My school had a lab with lots of iMac G3 in it. Always loved the translucent colorful nature of them. Then in another class the teacher had computers lined up around the room and one was connected to an AudioVision 14 Display. I don’t remember the computer it was connected to, but I loved that monitor back then because of the speakers lol.

Growing up, my parents were not interested in buying any Apple products because of price. They stuck with the cheapest Compaq or Gateway they could find at Best Buy. I wasn’t able to afford my own Mac until 2013. Bought the late 2013 iMac for school to edit videos, and I’ve exclusively used Macs personally since (only use Windows at work). Finally sold that iMac in 2021 and got an M1 Mac Mini.
