This is a particularly bad example: Car UI. It's not news that Apple's CarPlay is re-igniting the discussion about just how bad the UX is in most modern vehicles. A friend of mine works on the UX for Tesla, though, and if I had to choose a car with the best UX, it may be […]

Including when I lived in Florida (Adelphia, I believe, was my ISP down there). Even though new users can sign up for the same level of service I have for $54.99… (don't […]
