“Accidentally”

I don’t think a back button is needed - just swipe from the left of the screen?

Actually with some print heads they will be damaged if there is no ink

You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.

Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

CarPlay transmits audio over wifi

I agree, but Apple built this tech for their users, and for whatever reason people choose to use it.

Some people choose not to use it. So why expect Apple to open their walled garden? If all your friends are inside and they love the flowers, maybe the answer isn’t to ask for free flowers from inside, but either go in yourself or choose to stay outside without the flowers?

Isn’t this like going to someone’s house and not liking their cooking, and then demanding they order pizza for you to accommodate what you want?

Just use WhatsApp / email?

I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then

“36% cut of safari deal”

is very different to

“Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser”

The former implies some sort of fixed cost arrangement.

The latter implies a revenue share based on traffic and volume of advertising. It could even include all search revenue for ads displayed in Safari via Google owned ad networks - even if the ad placement did not originate from a google search.

This summary literally strips out the most important part 😂

Google's default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser, Bloomberg reported.

Classic case of design by committee.
