Oh my god. Literally turning Gmail (in accounts) off and on again fixed it. Holy poo poo. Mail works fine now, for both Gmail and iCloud. Thank you so much! Very much appreciated.

I spoke too soon. It's crashing again. Sigh. It just doesn't like gmail. Will try some other apps. E: Spark is working well with Gmail and iCloud. Thank you goons! Steakandchips fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Signed up for the YouTube premium free trial this week. Picture in Picture *still* doesn’t work in the YouTube app, what utter cretins they are. The only change is no ads, which I already have for free in-browser (adblock). The browser version which I have to use (along with a hacky shortcut) to make PiP work anyway. Good one Google. They’re way off with the pricing for YouTube Premium too - the music offering has zero value to me, and £11.99 a month for no ads on content that’s already free is insanely bad value.

Is 1Blocker still the go-to for ad blocking? It would be nice if it also blocked YouTube adds, but there doesn't seem to be a blocker that does so (that I could find). Also family sharing along with Mac support is very nice.

Random question: Why the hell hasn't Google Maps (or Apple Maps, but this is something I'd expect from Google first) integrated a toll-estimator into it's driving directions? It will happily tell you "This route requires tolls", but doesn't tell you which roads have the tolls or how much they'll be. Is there a reason for this? EDIT: Actually, Google Maps in the browser will tell you which roads are the toll roads if you drill down to turn-by-turn, but still doesn't estimate how much they'll be.

Maybe too many variables that will clutter up the interface? Where I'm from, the cost of going through a toll can depend on... 1. Time of day 2. How many people in the car 3. Type of car 4. Weekend vs non-weekend

You would also need some sort of API to grab that data technologically otherwise you have to have people/employees report it somehow.

Those are both valid issues but....doesn't seem beyond Google's power? Certainly they seem more do-able than having a car drive down every street in the world taking a picture every 5 seconds?

Street view data is extremely valuable, toll estimation not so much.

Google isn't the problem, it's the governments that would need to report that. Or the only other option is to drive down each toll road for the toll amounts You're not wrong, i think it would be a really neat feature given i'm on a toll road often - but technologically i think it proves difficult with so many disparate systems to think of in each state

It's actually interesting to think about because Google does have accurate pricing for gas stations which can change prices multiple times per day. But in that perticular case it's getting a data feed from a 3rd party company who's sole job is to track oil and gas prices and sell that data. For Google to get accurate toll information it would need an API or a 3rd party company to supply Google with that data. Or I suppose they could have a prompt for their Waze users to either input or confirm their toll pricing (which isn't always obvious!)

Waze does have toll estimation and you add which EZPasses you have so it can do the in-state calculations. I had to use it a bunch to calculate reimbursements.

I feel like it really wouldn’t be that hard or time-intensive to just have some intern go pull up toll rates from some DOT website and feed them into a DB somewhere. I don’t really feel like that would be the limiting factor on implementing that sort of thing.

If you think it's that easy go build the system to collect the data yourself and start selling API access to it. Then sell it to Google when they come knocking. Or they'll just build their own and put you out of business.

Surely if Google was paying me I could go do it for other US turnpikes too! I doubt there are an intractable number of toll roads in the US to make data collection be more than like a week’s worth of work for a small team.

yeah i don't believe for a second that google, a multi-billion dollar global empire built on data collection and aggregation, could not somehow keep track of what all the toll roads in america charge with at least "pretty good" accuracy

Well my point is if it was easy it would already be done. Either there's some irritating gotcha, marketing folks decided there's no demand, or they decided they wouldn't profit enough off it to make it worth it.

Road maintenance is really expensive, and property taxes in basically any suburban area don’t come close to covering the cost of road maintenance - let alone rural areas with huge stretches of road between things. The road maintenance costs are the same per area of land whether it’s in a poor rural state or NYC, and there are very few people to tax in one of those.

Crank up them gas taxes and registration fees, make people who actually use the roads pay for them. (which to bring this derail back around, is the justification for toll roads) (also bathe in the tears of gas guzzler owners who whine that hybrids/EV's pay less)

lmao 14.5's Podcasts app downloaded 28gb of podcasts to my phone. Apple has made a huge shitshow out of it and the only way to get rid of all the past podcasts is either one by one or deleting the entire app and it's data from my iPhone. Back to OverCast for me.

Is there a good iOS+macOS alternative I should use instead of Mail.app? Mail.app often chokes on the many GitHub emails I receive (“This message cannot be displayed because an error occurred”…okay, what error? And why are you eventually able to display the message?), as well as the odd marketing email here or there. I’ve been generally fine with Mail.app on either platform but I just want a mail client that can handle ALL of my emails, not just most of them. Bonus points if I can sync accounts I set up between the two.

Ugh, why did they get rid of the list of podcasts with recently posted episodes! I don’t need a list of Recently Followed pods Apple! I liked having that for podcasts I didn’t subscribe to but might pick out an episode or two every now and then.
