It’s a complete no brainer. As an NX300 owner, do I subscribe to Toyota’s nav for $$, or let the phone do it all? 🙄 And SeriousXM, why? SomaFM over an app is fiiiine. Yeah, smacks of a money grab by GM.
Ditto. CarPlay actually works, and works well. It’s clean, simple, and easy to use. The buttons are big enough and clear enough to use while driving, which is supposed to be the point.
CarPlay wouldn’t have been necessary in the first place if auto manufacturers were any good at software design - but they’re NOT. I’ve driven cars without CarPlay. The interfaces are trash. GM forcing people to use a shitty interface because they don’t want to license a good one is a terrible, terrible idea. I have absolutely zero faith in their ability to do the job right. I won’t even consider a car that isn’t compatible with CarPlay.

A lot of great ones out there but my personal favs probably are Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fifth Element, Event Horizon, Blade Runner in the “earnest” category, then Tokyo Gore Police, Johnny Mnemonic, Starship Troopers, Tetsuo, Total Recall, RoboCop in the campy/wild/fun category.

If you're gonna do ghost in the shell, I'd also recommend Appleseed.
Akira was one of the first "adult" anime that I watched back in the day. Good stuff, ending is unfortunate. I would have loved if they just made all the books into a series of movies. The animation and soundtrack are amazing though. For Katsuhiro Otomo I'd also recommend Memories.
The only thing keeping that piping from contaminating the water supply is proper water chemistry. If politicians cut funding to water treatment plants, this will be a problem. This is what Happened to Flint, MI.
