Siri doesn't seem to have a problem just calling letters by their name. It would be nice if there was a setting to choose between the Talon alphabet, NATO phonetic alphabet, and regional standard letter names.

I'm one of the olds, but I wish Instagram would just go back to simple photo sharing with friends. No video, no sponsored posts, no ranking algorithm, just show me what my friends are up to, damn it!

Do you think the police are gonna roll up at the top of Everest, see someone flying a drone, and confiscate it? The worst I could possibly imagine happening is that later when the footage is released the authorities demand payment of a fine

That's why I said transatlantic cruises. And yes, I could, if I want to isolate myself and treat my vacation like a punishment, but I still like to socialize and engage with the world around me on vacation, so it's nice to live in
