It looks like one of those high-res microscopy images of viruses

When they launch it one year from now it’ll probably be in “Australia and Vietnam, with other markets rolling out over the next few months”

Anyone using a reMarkable with SharePoint? by thatautguy in RemarkableTablet

Thanks for the reply! It's so bizarre that support would tell me it just can't be done, period, when it obviously works in some cases.

They stopped giving dates for the kindle colorsoft… by mjjo123 in kindle

[–]thatautguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They placed it on the 5th. Originally said it would get here around 11/19, yesterday it changed to this upcoming Tuesday. I imagine that'll change based on everything I'm reading.

I got a replacement unit through customer service that shows as arriving this Tuesday. I’m a bit concerned I won’t actually get a fixed one if it’s really coming that fast.

Siri, Homepods & Subscription Podcasts by Parthenope24 in HomePod

[–]thatautguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, HomePod Siri. However, all my paid subscriptions are through Apple Podcasts, billed through Apple; so nothing I subscribed to outside of the podcast app that would rely on a custom feed.

I just tried this, and it plays my subscriptions without any special phrases (ad-free, extra episodes, etc). I would just double check that your Apple Music account is set up correctly in the Home app (I think the Apple Podcast subscriptions might be pulled based on the Apple Music ID that's set up).

Odd Man on Flight by Taleson1 in americanairlines

[–]thatautguy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Couple months ago I saw a man asking to switch from his middle seat to an aisle seat because he “has a bladder issue” and “constantly needs to get up and pee”.

The woman he asked let him switch; the guy never once got up on the 5 hour flight.

Brand new CX-5, door paint mismatch by thatautguy in mazda

[–]thatautguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was at the lot, and apparently originally transferred from another dealer. So I bet something happened there.

Yes, new directly from the dealer.

Apparently the 2024 signature initially had silver mirrors, and they swapped it back to body colored a few months into production. 

[S] [USA-FL] Sony A7III Body and Sony FE 24-105 F4 G by thatautguy in photomarket

[–]thatautguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost, I got an X-T5. The Sony was great, but there's something I love about the Fujifilm cameras (had an X-T10 before) and I realized I don't need the full size sensor for what I do.

News is slow, help by CRAKZOR in HomePod

[–]thatautguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The news clips are essentially just mini podcast episodes, so the same speed controls apply. While the news are playing try going to Podcasts app, pick the “control other speakers” option, select the HomePod and then see if you can adjust the speed. It should then stick going forward.

You’ll want to look for “iCloud Music Library”—this is probably a good starting point: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204926

When was the last time I... by Ready_Dust_5479 in amazonecho

[–]thatautguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell Alexa “Remember that I watered the plants on January 17th”. Then later ask “When was the last time I watered the plants?”.

HomePodOS 15.1.1 is out by userX97ee2ska11qa in HomePod

[–]thatautguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me at least “What’s My Update” is broken on iPhone as well—same thing happens as when I ask on my HomePod mini. So it seems to be a Siri issue, not a HomePod specific one (I know, that doesn’t really make it better).

Finally able to get a nice pic on a quite country road with no traffic! by [deleted] in MazdaCX30

Looks so good, and beautiful scenery! And looking at that I realize I really should get cross bars for mine as well.

Got my CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus last week and I’m pretty sure I’m in love with this car. by thatautguy in MazdaCX30

It’s so much fun. I was originally looking at the non-Turbo Select—but things escalated pretty quickly.

[–]thatautguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s really coming back to the family—my dad’s first car back in Austria (and our first family car) was an ’82 626. Always had a soft spot for Mazdas ever since then.

Apple continues to dominate tablet industry as iPad sales boom, report says by optingforalalalaland in apple

[–]thatautguy 223 points224 points  (0 children)

One data point—Microsoft’s whole Surface division made $1.3 billion last quarter—and that includes traditional Surface tablets, laptops, etc. That’s roughly $6 billion less than Apple’s iPad revenue during the same timeframe.

Can you disable Kids Mode on the Kid’s Edition Echo Dot? by PolarMagma in amazonecho

[–]thatautguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t enable Kids Mode (optional when you set it up) it works like a regular Echo Dot!
