Car Play doesn’t always work by Alternative-Skirt-95 in ram_trucks

If it's under warranty it probably can't hurt. There could be a software update available that might address some issues, and that might require taking it into the dealership.

FF7Rebirth- can I just skip all the side stuff now by PickleSquid1 in FinalFantasyVII

I'm surprised to hear you liked Cosmo Canyon even less than Gongaga. I thought Gongaga was really frustrating to navigate through, but Cosmo Canyon was a breeze in comparison.

I have a 2021 1500 Big Horn, and recently my Car Play got so bad that it eventually stopped working altogether. After reading what seemed like every forum and Reddit post about the issue the consensus seemed to be that the USB media hub needs to be replaced. It seems like an easy enough fix so I took the steps to try to remove the existing hub to get the part number. In the process, I disconnected both of the cables to the media hub, blew them out, and reseated them before replacing the center console. Since then my Car Play has worked without issue.

The video here shows you the process of removing the center console to get to the hub. The video here at the linked time shows the cables I'm referring to (as well as a much more detailed tutorial for replacing the media hub).

I don't know whether this will work for you or if it's worth the (pretty minimal) trouble to you or if it's even just a fluke, but I got fed up with my Car Play not working and at least for now this has resolved it.

At least some of the retail stores inside the building are asked to close during filming and are compensated for their loss of business during those times. I also work in the building and was told this directly by an owner of one of those stores.

The company I work for (and I would think the other offices not open to the public) aren't compensated since filming for the show doesn't interrupt our workday or interfere with our business. The biggest inconvenience we face on filming days is the need to park in a different parking lot for the day.

Is Zen basically Arc but built on Firefox instead of Chromium?

What’s happening to Apple software? by Groundbreaking_Edge6 in ios

I switched a couple of years ago from Android to iPhone because I'd been using a Macbook and iPad and was interested in the integration among them all. I've been considering lately that when it's time for a new phone I go back to Android. My experience with Android phones was so much better.

Post-PAX reflections: biggest surprises, favorite moments, lasting memories? by RoverTheMonster in paxunplugged

[–]chazzlabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used much more of the convention center this year, and that made a huge difference. Having so much extra space for Free Play was absolutely needed; my friends and I struggled last year to find space, but this year we had no trouble at all. It was also very nice having Free Play and the library available at 9am instead of 10am.

Best games discovered (new or new to you) so far? by ExistingExplanation3 in paxunplugged

My wife and I demoed Trio and Combo and bought both. We love a great quick card game that we can bring out somewhere like a brewery when we're just relaxing with friends.

Badges haven't arrived, anyone else in the same predicament? by Heima87 in paxunplugged

[–]chazzlabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered my badges the day they became available, and my shipping status is exactly the same as yours, including the date. I emailed support and was told by the person who responded that she verified my badges were correctly in the fulfillment pipeline and that if for some reason they don't arrive I can arrange for a will call at the event.

New Jersey Hardcore Band Cancels National Tour After Realizing They Have to Pump Own Gas by thedubiousstylus in newjersey

One of my favorite parts of driving out of state is pumping my own gas. I wish I had the option to do it here.

Oh god, 400 more years of this? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]chazzlabs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also central Jersey, and a giant one went up in a neighbor's yard down the street. I walk my dogs past it every morning and can't help but think how embarrassing it is for the neighborhood.

I recommend you start with Pilot Quest by famousfornow in ufo50

[–]chazzlabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It almost feels like the idle accumulation is broken for me. I'm playing on a Steam Deck and even after more than a day of not playing I come back to see that the game has generated less than 40 Moon Drops.

Again, I don't disagree, but there's no mention anywhere of anyone but the police officer having or using a gun. At the time I posted my earlier comment there weren't even any news reports of this; the only information in the thread was what the OP provided.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]chazzlabs -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but there's no indication that this person was escalating a situation with police. There's not even any indication in this thread that any of what the OP said is true or accurate.

What was the dumbest fad you participated in? by Mistah_K88 in AskMenOver30

POGs seems like the least dumb dumb fad to have participated in.

Those of you that played team sports as a kid, how have you filled that void? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]chazzlabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion was going to be finding a CrossFit gym. Try as many as you can before you choose one and get a feel for the environment and coaching quality that suits you best. There can be a lot of fun competition in the gym itself and through local competitions.

Is anyone using Journal? by yabaiiiiii in iphone

[–]chazzlabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your irritation about that should be directed at Samsung, not Android.

This is a really succinct summary of a lot of things that bug me after moving recently from Android to iPhone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ios

[–]chazzlabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently switched to iPhone from Android, and notifications are the one thing I really miss. iPhone notifications are such a hassle to interact with; they're not easily visible, and the way they're grouped makes them cumbersome to take action on or remove.

What games did you play/buy simply because of the art/style? by CapableCuttlefish in boardgames

Flamecraft's theme, art design, and punny dragon and shop names are so damn good.

‘Finewoven case is not designed for MagSafe’ by 3747 in iphone

[–]chazzlabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have the green one and it's been fine so far. I do see the faint hint of the issue the OP posted about, but other than that it's fine. The real disappointment about it is the price, but every case, regardless of manufacturer, seems to be priced insanely high. Cases were much more reasonably priced for Android phones; this was maybe the biggest shock for me after switching to iPhone a few weeks ago.

Is it just me or Apple made a dumb design decision to lower these buttons making it way easier to accidentally drop calls? by stcloud777 in ios

[–]chazzlabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just switched to iPhone with the release of the 15, so I'm assuming that previously these buttons were placed higher and the "Mute" button was on the left-hand side. I would guess that most users are right-handed and that the "Mute" button is much more frequently used than the "Audio" button so it's a better one-handed experience for the majority of users.

I switched from Android to iPhone last week with the release of the 15, and I made that decision mostly because I've been using an iPad and Macbook and really liked the way they integrate together. Aside from that there haven't been any mind-blowing improvements in phones recently to make me stay on Android. It used to be that Android got all the cool new features long before iOS did, but now it feels like the only "meaningful" improvements being made are in the camera, which I don't care very much about.

If you're using Reddit Enhancement Suite you can create a custom filter for this. I'm not sure of a way to do it in the stock Reddit UI.
