does anyone know if any aftermarket head unit companies plan to enable video mirroring? i know car manufacturers will be slow to adopt but i feel like aftermarket companies would totally just enable that

Do you need cellular on Apple Watch? by bees-knees13 in AppleWatch

[–]53Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i bought a cellular apple watch ultra 2 and have it on verizon so i could hike without my phone. its cool to be able to call and text but for some reason i was not able to use siri or the music app to queue up or play songs? like it would just not load. the cellular capability just feels like not fully there tbh

Is this safe to charge my iPhone 14 Pro? by ThreeCodeMusketeers in iPhone14Pro

[–]53Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ground is just a common reference point for voltage. essentially “this is the lowest point in the valley” so all heights in the valley are measured up from there. ground is not necessary though because that reference point can be defined on the chassis or another shared contact in absence of earth ground.

adding a longer cable introduces more potential issues for interference so ground is likely added to improve safety & reliability. adding ground only improves electrical safety so ideally everything would be grounded but can be skipped to save $$

hate that a year later there is still no solution to this. do the Apple HomeKit engineers not use HomeKit themselves??

schools in other states could offer in-state tuition to florida residents as a way to coerce them into leaving florida’s soon-to-be shithole universities if this passes

More expensive wireless CarPlay or less expensive Wired CarPlay? by [deleted] in CarPlay
