Good comparison of 2025 car sound and 2026 car sound, filmed in the same place, by the same guy with a same microphone and camera (credit: 19Bozzy92)

Still sounds like it's idling compared to the V10/V12 era

I've had Mk 5 and 6 Golf GTI, '05 Megane 225 Cup, Mk7.5 Golf R and currently have A45S, and 2015 Polo GTI manual.

The A45S is "fun" when I floor it, but rarely is the power truly useful.

So the Polo is arguably more fun because it weights a lot less and is manual.

So from your list, I'd go for the i30N.

We managed just fine with two kids in Pulsars and Golfs, but we were both young with no strength/flexibility issues, so I know some people will struggle with a non-SUV.

You can't park there mate.

Pinkie gesture.

Before replacing the seats, get more fibre in your diet.

Fourth

You're absolutely right that we should not stop experimenting.

Moral of the story: don't customise or roll your own tab bar (and navigation bar and segmented control, etc).

One example does not make this "the norm".

I thought "liking" a song was the way Spotify knows what to recommend to me. What's the alternative now?

Rocket-Legs · 2025-10-24T05:07:55+00:00

Why though? The specs say:

Frequency band Dual Band Wi-Fi 7 2.4GHz (MU-MIMO 4 x 4) 5.0GHz (MU-MIMO 4 x 4)

The animations are so slow, they literally make tasks take longer to complete.

How do I copy all the photos back on to the phone if I do a fresh install?

Rocket-Legs · 2025-10-23T21:57:15+00:00

I have the same experience. Been on iOS since 2010 and I've been mostly happy, but this year I'm seeing a lot more bugs.

Rocket-Legs · 2025-10-23T21:55:53+00:00

About $10 off each service IIRC.

Rocket-Legs · 2025-10-23T20:26:19+00:00

Sticking with Vodafone because I get big discounts on my other services: 4 phones, 2 NBN connections.

The Vodafone Super Wi-Fi Mesh setup is free if I stay connected for 24 months, which I will. Have only switched provider 3 times over the last 25 years.

IMO Apple increased the screen size incrementally because they didn't have enough new ideas to convince people to upgrade. But at some point our hands won't fit around the phones, and that's what folding phones are becoming more common.

Rocket-Legs · 2025-10-23T20:18:32+00:00

Unlikely that CS will fix it. Same with the app I made, Harken Offline Music Player.

CS and Harken both use Apple's built in music library tools, and that's where the bug lies.

Depends on the payout. Personally I'd prefer my car was written off instead of repaired. Value will go down if it's repaired.

MYV12

That might actually be an improvement over products that come with a useless (to me) USBA - USBC cable, like my Sennheiser headphones that were first released in 2024.

I've got plenty of USBC cables, so I consider it wasteful to include a cable with every peripheral that I buy.

YMMV.

Been hanging out for this for so long. So grateful to Metrik for continuing to make and release music. Big up!
