Apple Maps is definitely quite buggy. Sometimes it doesn't even load turn by turn too. It needs to improve on a LOT of things.

The Apple Maps issues are hilarious. I understand all the 3D rendering bugs though. Basically anywhere they haven't made a specific map they use basic elevation information which results in weird looking points where their 3D models suddenly stop. Shouldn't excuse the melting bridges though!

I haven't used iOS6 and never will (I have a 3rd Gen iPod which doesn't get the update for arbitrary reasons). It seems like a decent enough update, severes ties with Google a bit and improves the interface in small ways. iOS is getting insanely stale though, that 4x4 Grid is looking very static and uninteresting these days and putting all the different app settings in the Settings app is just adding more steps to do things like enter private browsing mode in Safari. The Weather icon is still stuck saying 73 degrees and Sunny rather than having any kind of live update (which wouldn't be hard to implement). iOS needs to make itself more like Android in some respects. An ability to set a default web browser would be nice for a start.

Btw are Siri's location services still only available in the USA?

Location services now work in MORE places around the world. I tried it in Singapore and it works well. It doesn't work in all locations though, which is literally quite impossible.

One more thing I noticed with iOS 6: if you have the YouTube app on your device and tap on a video URL, it brings you to that app.

About the live weather, I know one website that you can save the bookmark on the home screen and it updates constantly. I used to have it. Now I forgot the site.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
