Does "loss leader" mean something different here?

A lot of people in the replies here unable to conceive of buying some from a shop and then taking them on the flight themselves, therefore bypassing the need to prioritise Delta. Unbelievable.

I find it so much more annoying when it's on something that should be genuinely interesting - I just can't read this even though I do actually want to.

You can just buy some from a shop.

"Hey Siri, continue playing my audiobook" used to work, now it starts a random book from my library, even ones I've already listened to. "Hey Siri, play" used to continue playing whatever was last playing, now it starts random songs on Apple Music. Those are the only two things I use Siri for apart from controlling lights.

Wipr 2 and AdGuard for me, never see an ad.

I have full size HomePods beside the living room TV, and the one in my studio, and I've never been able to get this feature to work.

If only the Home app wasn't complete shit.

The success of the Fiat 500 and new Mini renders the GP comment completely moot.

Don't worry about opening the GPT-6 Astra one though, those ones are so bad that your brain will immediately expunge them.

And doesn't work in Apple Mail. Why are all the replies in this thread recommending things that don't meet the criteria in the article?

It doesn't meet the criteria in the post. Obviously.

I think this might actually be the first time I've understood that intention. Fully in agreement with your earlier comment that it was a total turd of a product - I remember a group of friends all getting access, playing with it for about 30 minutes, and then just coming away thinking what an awful experience it was, never to return. None of us were thinking of it as even vaguely email related, it basically felt like forums but worse. Or messaging but worse.

Funnily enough, the first thing I did when I logged in and saw it this morning was remove the agents nonsense with an AdGuard rule.
