Please sit on my face
My boss has a Land Rover that was in the middle of an OTA update at one point in the first few months he owned it. Wouldn't start and appeared basically dead, and he didn't know it was updating. He had it towed to the dealer and it had finished the update by the time it got there.
Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:
"It is this Court's opinion that this rule infringes on businesses' First Amendment right to free speech."
The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.
Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I've never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven't even taken the free trial. I'm less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I'm forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.
As for the remote start, yeah, it's kinda bullshit that they've removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners' control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I'm less concerned about the fact that it's a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.
Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won't redirect.
Makes specific mention of notably-colored ass and balls, shows no pictures of monkey's backside...
If you give them permissions. Speaking from Android. Don't know how iOS works.
I wasn't aware of swipe down. Not sure if it was added later or I just missed it.
It's still there, and not because my phone is slow - even a brand new Pixel with no apps or Google account has this delay. It takes nearly 2 seconds to go home - long enough to make me question if I hit the home button.
Pixel 6 Pro, in use since release... I don't have any noticeable delay. Pressing the home button (I have 3-button navigation instead of gestures), the transition from foreground app to Nova home screen I'd estimate to be under 1/4 second. Feels pretty instantaneous.
I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:
- phone, but swipe up for contacts
- messages, but swipe up for Gmail
- music player, but swipe up for YouTube
- Firefox, but swipe up for clock app
Haven't paid any attention to any newer launchers.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don't receive any political texts, mostly just fake USPS scams.
