So thanks to an anonymous friend of the show who informed me of this, and... And I went and tested it, and sure enough, yes, I do have dual-screen CarPlay. What I didn't realize is that you have to have the center dial configuration showing its map mode for it to work.

When that's there, then the middle screen will show the dual screen. But I also learned, and I think this is just true of dual-screen CarPlay in general... that the second screen in the dial cluster will only show Apple Maps and only during active navigation within Apple Maps. If you use any other map app like Waze or Google Maps, currently with their current versions...

those do not show in the second screen. I have also learned that apparently there is an API for them to do that, but that's been a fairly recent addition, I think in the iOS 17 series sometime, but the Google Maps and Waze just have not yet used it.

So basically right now, if you have two-screen CarPlay, what that really just means is Apple Maps directions will show up on the second screen during navigation, and that's it. For me personally, that doesn't really help me that much because I don't usually use Apple Maps for navigation in the car. I'm more of a Waze person myself. But if you do, maybe look into that if that's relevant to you.

He's a human that we're all mad at. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I'm so glad Tim had this really hard hitting interview puff piece. I mean, maybe this is worth it to somebody to, but like, would you right now watch the same interview of say Mark Zuckerberg? Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, like, I think this is this is a puff, you know, BS thing. And I'm I'm glad for people who like it.

Maybe it'll make you feel better. To me, this it just kind of angers me. Like, why give him this kind of attention right now when he does not deserve anything but very strict scrutiny over what he has done?

That's why I almost never actually watch or listen to or read his interviews, because There's almost nothing of value to it because he's so guarded and careful and on message. And so the things that you end up getting from him are just things that don't matter. And we all had a cult of personality around Steve Jobs because –

He was a really interesting personality, and he would let out bits and pieces that were entertaining and insightful and a little bold and a little risk-taking. And Tim Cook is none of those things. He is just bland, milquetoast, corporate nothingness. And whatever he is behind the scenes, as John said, we don't see that. What we see in the public is... Very controlled, corporate, boring.

And frankly, I don't know how much more of Tim Cook there is than that. And I don't care because even before I hated him for his political BS that he's doing now, he's just not interesting. I think Apple is very interesting. And the moves of the company and the products they create can be very interesting a lot of the times.
