Ditto or when walking the dog and nobody is with me.

Isn’t plugging stuff in all the time bad for the battery?

Better than me taking a hammer to them when the battery is dead.

I don't. I use earplugs now so I don't get more deaf.

Good.

It's weird how google makes their money off ads... but allows adblockers to be installed on their browser.

Not that I'm complaining.

The article specifies which ads it'll block. Mainly the intrusive ones.

I really want to stop all videos from autoplaying.

Android Auto wireless released about 2 weeks ago.

I bought a new head unit that supported it, and installed it today to replace my factory unit. The wireless takes several seconds to initialize, but works well.

Google can go fuck itself.

I've forgotten why

In-dash map nav is cool but I also want the phone to tell me what exactly the "check engine" light is indicating.

There's a billion reasons. I don't hate them like Apple, but it's a love-hate relationship.

For example: Explain to me how they can disable features of Waze on MS and iPhones, and that's "ok" in this world where MS can't put a browser on its own OS.

Dunno, don't use those crappy phones

Not a fan of this law.

Google makes a phone call.

Worth watching.

Computers scare me

Yeah, that shit was unsettling.

Chrome updated to block autoplaying vids. Yay!

But it does break some stuff...boo.

Won't work with Pentagon anymore because "social progress".

Seriously, flower power will be the death of mankind. Nature and the rest of the world doesn't play by your rules or have your values. Defend yourself or go extinct. There are no other options.
