endperformon GM’s decision to ditch Apple CarPlay, Android Auto sparks backlash

Carplay works without an issue for me.

I get in my car, plug it in, and it's ready to roll. No need to deal with Bluetooth or the like, it just works. I'm fine with plugging a phone in when I get in, rather than having it in my pocket and possibly falling out without me knowing about it.

endperformon The Windows Subsystem for Android now runs Android 13 in beta

Agreed. I laugh every time someone posts it. If MS wanted to kill off Linux, Linux would be long dead by now.

Google is also taking 30% when someone purchases an app through Google Play, and they also take a 15% cut of subscriptions as well, so it's not just Apple.

Google forces their App Store and Assistant on you. Your Android phone manufacturer also forces other garbage on top of that as well as locking you into a version of Android with no guaranteed upgrade path. See: Samsung and Bixby.

Get your facts straight, or at least take off the blinders that is your hatred of Apple.

The Google Assistant icon, assuming you have it installed.
