Me as a politician? I'd get shot for speaking truth to power!I made it all the way through! Good rant! Have you considered running for Congress @Swinefuzz?
The off-centeredness of the potential DIN location bothers me too and I made some comments at the Slate event at the Space Needle as I was talking my tape measure to the dash.
I assume all chats are going to AI, so maybe try an email to Slate instead of getting mad at a bot. Better yet, I hope they bring a Slate to a town near you. I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that!
I'm confident it wasn't a chat bot, just a rep who doesn't care about what people actually want, you know? Bots are nicer, which is why they're obviously not humans. I actually did try to write them an email first, but it only allows extremely short, concise messages, and well, you know... Brevity is not a strength I possess. Knowing SA likely monitors this site, I saw my chance for an extremely fire and brimstone bomb-builder manifesto that would be difficult to look away from, if they have the interest, that is.
Thank you for letting SA know you don't like the DIN off center. It was your pictures with your trusty tape measure in them that basically confirmed my suspicions that the DIN was indeed purposely shoved aside in favor of the phone mount and that they are just being lazy and assumptive in their design. Don't treat DIN users like second class customers!
