So if I get the new iPhone, I have to choose between watching Netlfix or charging my phone.....at least until another dongle comes out that lets me do both. But....it's still bullshit that this "upgrade" causes me to have to carry around extra parts.
If there's going to be a fire, may as well not be half-assed about it.
I've been watching TV while driving for many years. Seriously, though, if I didn't I'd have probably been killed years ago as a result of some road-rage incident.

It's always good to reply to something you haven't read or listened to, huh?
Listen to this excellent podcast. We have nothing to fear re: automation. It will only help us to prosper overall.

Sounds like you're using the Keynesian redefinition of inflation. Inflation "the increase of the money supply", not "higher prices".
Inflation measured accurately, not heuristically, is way higher than 2-3%. See shadowstats.com
Thanks!
I agree 100% and am in the same boat, except I have not checked out TechDirt.
Goodbye then.
Ever heard of Microsoft?
But the fucking supplied dongle is worthless since it doesn't have a lightning passthrough so I can charge my phone.
Apparently if I want the new iPhone I'll need the courage to let my battery drain while I listen through headphones.
Nobody is forcing me, of course. But I certainly have the right to express my disappointment with my current phone's successor.
Yes, that would be the ultimate scenario. :)
Precisely. That's why I stay wired.

I've found that "just driving" is far more dangerous. By not being subdued by TV, I haven't been locked up for road-rage incidents.
I just want to watch Netflix while I drive.
Thanks for this info. I always blamed bluetooth. It's true, all my cars have been Acuras and Hondas.
My 2016 Acura ILX has the same annoying lag as every other vehicle I've ever used.
I knew about the rumors, but the fucking vacuum ate my previous pair. I had no choice.
I wasn't referring to a bluetooth headset. Any of the 5-6 vehicles I've paired my phone to have this "feature".
There is simply a delay, or lack of sync, between device and speakers. So it's utterly useless for watching video of any kind.

This is bullshit.
So now, when I watch TV shows on Netflix while driving, I cannot charge my phone at the same time.
So when I get home, my phone will be almost dead instead of fully charged.
I guess this does require courage.
WTF
It's free because it's worthless if you expect to charge your phone while using it, which for me is an absolute requirement.
The dongle is worthless to me if I cannot charge the device at the same time.
Bluetooth sucks hugely. When I click pause, it should stop the audio immediately, not 0.5 - 3 seconds later. I fucking hate it.
