+100 on all you said.
To tell the truth, I really miss the black corded desk telephone. I miss Mom answering the phone circa 1959 and yelling “Hon, it’s Mom & Dad. Get on the extension.” The kids went outside to play and come back at dinner time. You did not bump into people on the sidewalks with their heads buried in their phones and wandering all over the place. I see one of them coming and scream “Hey, HEADS UP!” and that startles them awake out of their zombie trance...for a moment.
Yesterday, my iPhone decided to not route calls through the car system. Shut down and restart phone app. Reset the car console. Turn the phone off and restart it. Shut the car off and restarted it. No luck. 20 minutes wasted. Later that day, the phone calls were routed back to the car audio system. The funny thing is that my sister was telling me just the day before that HER phone (other side of the country) was not connecting to her Kia system.
I waste SO much time being the CIO of the household.
I am retired and I leave my iPhone at home unless I am traveling. My latest hassle was I had to turn on Siri for CarPlay to work. It took me a few minutes at a rest stop to figure it out. You have both smart phones and vehicle updates battling it out..
