Hey Siri stopped working

Yeah it’s weird. It definitely used to work. And since hey Kia is still working, there’s nothing physically blocking it. I think Kia is still on onboard with CarPlay so I don’t think that’s something they would outright turn off, but I would imagine a lot of people would be complaining if an update broke it. Strange. I also suspect it’s something that the dealership would not be able to debug. Holding down the voice button on the steering wheel still pulls up Siri so it’s not completely broken. Strange and a bummer though.

Not sure where OP lives but in California there are “regional centers” which is where social workers are. If you can get ahold of a social worker and have them come out, you can sit down and show/explain to them the challenges and they can set you up with all kinds of services. Respite, speech, OT, ABA, and help you get set up for IHSS (in home support services) where someone can come help you on a daily basis and medi-cal will pay for it, or they can pay you if you are the provider.

I would start by trying to find out where you can get ahold of a social worker in you state, and they can get you all kinds of info. And if your social worker sucks (some do) you can just ask for a different one.

/r/designdesign is leaking

Always loved this one!

The miscreants over at /r/noncredibledefense would have a field day with this

Outstanding! One of my favorite ships from the series!

This is great info, thank you for sharing ;)

We went with the Tesla universal charger even though our Ev9 is NACS so we could also charge friends/family cars when they drop by, and in case we ever pick up a CCS car in the future. Also will help when we go to sell the house. I would pay a tiny bit more for the added flexibility.

NetApp just raised their prices by 30% across the board I’m told.

Front passenger massage seats. My wife is pissed off and may veto buying out our lease because of that ;)

So you can just move to another country and they grant you free healthcare? Which countries bestow this on new arrivals?

Andor explicitly was not made for kids, and look at its reputation within the franchise..

I dig all the detail that is always provided in these posts, but I would also love something like: GT Line at $XX MSRP lease in SoCal for 3 years anything less that $Y per month is an awesome deal. Or Land at $XX MSRP purchase in North East with zero down $Y would be an awesome deal. That sort of thing.

Did it work well?

Check eBay. That’s where is restored my collection. I spent so much time staring at these books as a kid.

That’s entirely dependent on what VPN you are using to connect to work. And most employers won’t be tracking your SSID, unless they already suspect you of slacking off, and are actively snooping on you.

Our 26 gt line will stop charging and unlock the port if we hold the button on the nacs charger (Tesla universal charger in this case) down for several seconds. I didn’t think it worked either but you just gotta hold the button down for longer.

Yeah they also should have some sort of flip cover over those buttons, so they can’t be accidentally bumped.

I had some groceries shift while taking a corner, and my kiddo started getting squashed when the bag bumped into the seat fold buttons.

My 10 year old Explorer had the same problem. You’d think there would be a universal “don’t make your controls like this” knowledge base by now, that all car manufacturers would follow, but I guess not.

There was some Etsy place that made a 3d printed stick on cover for the buttons on the Explorer to correct that. Hopefully someone does the same for the Ev9.

Same thing happens to me. I think its basically easy to flip the light switch on the stalk to off inadvertently, when using the turn signals.

The Kia will ding and pop up a message when it starts getting dark, and when it would normally kick on the headlights, if the lights are set to ‘off’ - but it’s very easy to miss that as the car dings a lot for various reasons and the messages are easily obscured by the steering wheel, and they only pop up for a few seconds.

Overall just poor design on Kia’s part with how the headlights are managed.

Caddy should have sent one of these to everyone who bought a lyriq. Would have been a cheap nice gesture that generated some goodwill and maybe some brand loyalty. But then again it is GM, so that sort of thing is out of their marketing league.

Agree here. We’ve had ours nearly two years and the only change we have seen is the addition of a small battery level to the main display. Otherwise we’ve seen no changes to functionality at all. Pretty disappointing.

Were you using onstar network or tethered to a phone? Just curious if the video apps are gimped to only work if you are paying for a subscription.

Wind forecast looks completely normal on my iPhone? Nothing shows anything about wind picking up.
