Iceland Spar 2 years ago

I assume this is partly interesting/funny because in the UK, both "Iceland" and "Spar" are grocery store chains :)

But a map app is so much more than street maps and navigation. I have tried to switch to Apple Maps, and it works great for navigation or getting an overview of the streets. But I cannot use Apple Maps to explore!

With Google maps, I just fire it up and search “sights” to find places near that are worth a visit. “Public beaches” to find where I can go for a swim. If I try the same with Apple Maps, more often than not I get sent to a place in Myanmar or similar which happens to be tagged as “public beach”.

Also when I search for a business on Google maps, I get photos and reviews. With Apple Maps I am happy if I get a link to a website.

To be honest, it is more a F-U to your competitors' customers than to your own. I don't get why Apple creating a feature for their own ecosystem has to be made available to other ecosystems as well. It's not like Face Time is the only video calling solution out there.

You should definitely be able to convince her this is a road trip to take! On the way you will pass the lovely Virgin coast archipelago as well as be able to visit the UNESCO world heritage sites Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland and the High Coast. Go for the road trip!

I had the exact same problem as a 12 year old kid, only I was in assembly where Auschwitz survivor Emerich Roth was telling us about his hardships. He stopped with annoyed patience and waited for me to silence the alarm before continuing. I don't think I've ever felt so bad.

So what happens as soon as people want to start visiting NZ? Seems like you will forever have to be scared of corona entering your country again, it must be a huge blow long-term to the tourism sector? Not trying to be snarky, genuinely trying to understad the plan.

Funny, in Sweden where surströmming is from I have heard the exact same words used to describe the production of Hákarl. But Hákarl is easy to smell and eat compared to surströmming, which is gut-wrenching when you smell it.

It was because the phone had been rebooted, and iOS requires a passcode after a reboot.

But swipe left/right on the bottom bar shouldn't be too hard for them to learn. This also switches between apps, and it was blazing fast in the demo.

Except for that large padlock icon that shows the unlocked state when Face ID has identified you?

I haven't used Pandora in a long time, but I have to say that everything you mention can be applied to my experience of Spotify's discovery/radio features as well. Plus it handles playing songs on-demand.

I was half expecting this to be about Dr. Leonid Rogozov, the Soviet doctor who performed an appendectomy on himself[1] while stationed in Antarctica in the early 60's.

This is likely caused by Sweden and Germany being very open to immigration from other parts of the world. Sweden and Germany were very high on the list back in the day, but after relatively high streams of immigration during the late 1900's the average height has dropped.

Have you heard about a company called Xiaomi? They have the balls to straight up copy the industrial design of Apple, so pretty sure they would have no problem copying the software.
