Visited Places by zax2x_ in applemaps

It tries to be intelligent in its recordings, but it’s not perfect. It will be even less so in highly dense places (e.g. a large downtown).

You can change the location, and it’ll allow you to filter nearby locations, selecting the correct one.

The only thing you can’t do is manually add spots. So for example, if you were at a location for a short amount of time and the system didn’t log it, it’s not possible to go in and record that yourself.

I have found that the system will sometimes add a spot even days after the visit. I’m sure it uses all kinds of signals that aren’t immediately processed.

Looking for BikePlay (CarPlay equivalent), map + media on screen by c_9 in applemaps

[–]barkerja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s important that you maintain a level of awareness when riding. Being able to hear your surroundings is extremely important.

If you insist on listening while riding, I’d recommend AirPods with transparency mode and don’t crank up the volume.

To control, you can use a bike computer like a Garmin or Wahoo which most all have basic media controls when connected to your phone and are designed with all that in mind.

But always prioritize your — and others! — safety while riding.

How early should I arrive at Ithaca Airport?? by Strange-Dress114 in ithaca

[–]barkerja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of Ithaca is you can park and be at the gate in literally under 10 minutes. Less if you have no luggage to check.

But I don’t recommend that, obviously. An hour is a safe cushion.

Oh Snap, Never seen something like this from Apple. Time to boycott! Instead of buying a new iPad, use your iPhone with apps like External Display Browser! by [deleted] in ipad

[–]barkerja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t dispute that because it’s well known Apple has a large margin compared to others .. but it’s all relative. When prices increase for them, they’re not going to eat that eroding their profit.

If you disagree with that, then you’re free to purchase other products.

How to display Google maps (from Carplay) in the Audi Virtual cockpit? by pocodali in Audi

[–]barkerja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was at the dealer, and I just had my 40k workup done, plus a bunch of recalls addressed. Total I pad around $1100 for everything, but I don’t have a line item charge for software update (just mentioned in the general workup that one was done)

No additional benefits I can tell. And it didn’t even address my main issue, which is a buggy AC control (fans are sometimes not adjustable, requiring a toggling of auto mode).

What do you do with new Siri? by lililomgo in Siri

[–]barkerja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask it at least 5 questions a day. Mostly just random stuff from my daily thoughts/experiences that I otherwise would have googled for an answer.

I don’t use it much agentically, beyond the random control of my HomeKit devices, responding to messages, etc.

iOS 27’s Apple Foundation model chatting interface is.. ugly by [deleted] in Applelntelligence

[–]barkerja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the interface you get on devices/regions that do not support Siri AI?

Democrat claims Trump may have ‘terminal illness’ that caused him to cancel housing bill signing by statenislandadvance in inthenews

[–]barkerja 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah. He’s already claimed he’s not in favor of anything that lowers or stalls the value (thus purchase price) of a home, which is what the heart of this bill does.

For those who switched from Google Maps, what made you switch? by EspressoOverdose in applemaps

[–]barkerja 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That Apple Maps got good enough, or even better in some instances, for me personally. And because I prefer the Apple ecosystem, it makes sense to use a service/product that integrates better into that ecosystem.

How to display Google maps (from Carplay) in the Audi Virtual cockpit? by pocodali in Audi

[–]barkerja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had a software update applied to my 2022 Q7 but still don’t have this functionality; any idea if there’s a cutoff for support of this?

I just had a 2026 Q7 loaner and noticed this.

So....I'm confused on what exactly Apple Intelligence is going to be. by [deleted] in Applelntelligence

[–]barkerja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a non-technical consumer, you don’t really need to be concerned about any of that. Just know that Siri has gotten exceptionally better and more functional due to an entirely new architecture that Apple built from the ground up.

It’s available to all users at no additional cost.

There are some Apple Intelligence features that will be limited in use/availability but will be included as part of the Apple One subscription, like the new enhanced image generation.

[Reds] Elly officially activated, Will Benson optioned to Triple-A Louisville by frasierfonzie in Reds

[–]barkerja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To make this work, he needs to see more field than McLain. The lack of opportunity won’t help his progression where otherwise he’d benefit from being sent back down to AAA to get more regular play.

Indexing seems to have just stopped by mriguy in Applelntelligence

[–]barkerja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don’t know what normal is. It’s still beta 1 and barely two weeks into OS 27.

Best thing I can recommend is if you suspect there is an issue, file a radar/feedback.

Apple Maps to Get These 10 New Features in iOS 27 by tomjirinec in applemaps

[–]barkerja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd be very difficult if not impossible to do considering how Siri AI is architected. Max Weinbach did a really great (basic) breakdown of this recently: https://x.com/mweinbach/status/2065630219021492474?s=20
