My first GM vehicle was a C7 Chevrolet Corvette. I wanted it since it was announced in 2014 but held out until 2016 when it finally got CarPlay. I’ve since traded it in for the 2020 C8 Corvette that also has CarPlay. I bought a dongle that enables wireless CarPlay so I don’t even need to plug it in.

I absolutely love my Corvette and would be interested in buying the next generation. However, I will not consider it or any other GM vehicle if CarPlay is dropped. It is a mandatory feature for me.

No worries, I’m sure Norton Utilities will fix it.

Apps like Signal and iMessage allow any emoji. I don’t have a strong opinion about a limited set vs any defined in Unicode.

I had never thought about having wireless satellites on a Bluetooth speaker. Everything sounds amazing except for the price!

For those wondering what PEP 703 is:

CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This PEP proposes adding a build configuration (--disable-gil) to CPython to let it run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe.

I would love to have this in Azure DevOps for wikis. The Mermaid support is too limiting.

Plus an appointment is not required for those that have an iPhone with LiDAR which is probably nearly everyone who is considering purchasing this.

I had one decades ago as well when they first came to the US. Mine was extremely finicky to program. I had hold it very still at a fairly specific distance to my CRT. It was rare for me to be successful on my first try and it was quite slow.

In C/C++, undefined should be the meme of the little girl smiling while the house burns down behind her.
