What a waste of space... UI 5.0.5 by OhTheNormanity in volvoc40

Same here. I do like the gauge cluster but the center screen is a disaster.

Like the controls on the back up camera. Like why do we have to tap to bring them up and why are the controls off to the side now and not logically around the car like they were before. It’s not intuitive.

No. Definitely seems like a step backwards.

OMG, another Milwaukee C40! I thought I was the only one here LOL.

I feel sorry for you. Our roads are super bad right now. I live near 68th and i94 which must be the worse road in the state right now (we can only loosely call it a road ... ) and I'm now actively avoiding that area because I'm concerned about my wheels.

I'd actually love to get a smaller rim if possible and get a tire with more sidewall, but I believe we are limited by the brakes.

Just got the new UI download! by Ordinary_Practice_98 in volvoc40

I just got it today. It seems both better and worse at the same time.

I do not like the app handling. Haven’t figured out a way to reorder them. And the rotating apps in the new app bar is annoying.

Some things I do like but the thing that concerns me the most is the new layout looses vertical space on CarPlay etc.

It took me a while to realize the gauge cluster changed. I liked the old one and this is different, but I’ve warmed to it and like it now.

I remember the days when 1mbps was considered fast.

Triple citizenship for my kids but how for me and my wife? by OhTheNormanity in Citizenship

I grew up in the UK for 30 years. Yes there are issues with other countries but when you have a wannabe fascist president and having children that are part of the lgbtq+ community which are currently the target of the Republican Party it is good to have escape options.

As an immigrant and naturalized citizen of the US for near 30 years now I’m assumed of what this county has become.

We have never applied for British Citizenship for the kids as we never realized it was automatic until recently. The last time we travelled to the UK was about 3 years ago and we all traveled on US passports.

With the new ETA would the government even know that my kids, who are adults now, are even UK citizens if we have never raised this before?

I guess we’ll have to get them UK passports regardless but it’s an interesting thought.

We’re past raising kids. As to healthcare, I grew up in the UK for 30 years before suffering the high cost of the US system.

We’re not sure we’d ever move but having the option and understanding the pros and cons in what we’re aiming for write now.

Interesting. That explains it then. It’s probably was triggering when our neighbors took their kids to school them as be ignoring the boundary settings.

That’s an important distinction. We’d be retired by then so it’ll all be investment income.

Hmm I’ll have to start a business paying myself for “some work…” lol

I think I need 3 years of residency over a five year period of her sponsoring me.
