I am excited about python in Excel. It’s like when you get you chocolate in someone’s peanut butter.

If you had ever tried to write vba scripts you would understand. It’s like coding in the Kyle days.

I never owned an Iphone.
I think I owned two Ipods in my life. They were great tbh. Back in the early-mid 2000s.
I bought an iPhone 3g I think it was called. It was my first smartphone and, at the time, I thought it was pure sex. I haven’t wanted to buy another but it’s probably due to the huge gap in value for money vs Android plus having to do everything the Apple way on an iPhone.
I’m writing this reply on a $200 RealMe 9 and it’s such a capable phone. There isn’t anything about it that I wished it did better. I guess I don’t know what I’m missing.

I had an iphone4 and an iPad. I got pissed off when they deleted the Google maps from the iPhone and replaced it with shitty apple maps. I took a road trip to Flagstaff, AZ and there were literally no street maps on there, just the main roads through town. Flagstaff is not a small city. Then they made me buy fucking apps just to play videos in any format other than mp4. Plus I had to load all the files through their shitty iTunes that ran like ass on PC. And the files were locked to the app you associated them with. So I switched to Android and never looked back because I don’t need no Stalin tech.

@Stu is it Apple or Microsoft that sucks in that situation? So hard to tell.

@Hog said in The OFFICIAL tech stuff thread:
DuckDuckGo or Bing still used Apple maps the last time I checked. Damn, it’s awful.
Edit: It’s DuckDuckGo. Bing doesn’t say where they get their map data - it says Copyright Microsoft on the map so maybe they’ve started their own. Dunno why they all don’t use open street maps.
I think Microsoft has pretty extensive geographic data. All their location based intelligence relies on accurate mapping and tracking people is good money. Flight sim uses their satellite data to stream realistic terrain.

As of now everyone except for Google migrated to OSM for basemap data. Microsoft, Apple, etc, merge the OSM data with their own data acquired for high impact locations. Google has everything independent. I would generally use Google for business data (stores, opening hours), and OSM for just about anything else. The best mapping application from my point of view is mapy.cz, which is using OSM data.

What about Apple maps Mr internet expert on everything?
It’s included in the list above, Apple maps uses OSM basemap and merge it with acquired data.

I have no idea. I have no apple devices and I guess you cannot access it with a browser. I know they fired the leadership, or at least the people we knew in it at some point, maybe 2019-ish.
Compare roads in Africa with something like mapy.cz and you’ll see if it’s the same source.

But generally, the world of Geo data used to be pretty split, with Google, Tomtom, Here, facebook, microsoft, esri, and so on hanging on to their own data-sets. Now it’s a bipolar world with Google on one side and everyone else on the other. Which is kind of stupid… it makes sense for opening hours and so on, but with neither having a real edge in basemap data it would be better for everyone if the databases just merged.
Having said that, OSM is kind of stupid to work with.

I was trying to work out why my impressions of Apple maps (via duckduckgo) was so bad if it was based on OSM which I’ve had on installed on my phone before and never had a problem with. I worked it out:
If you search for my city in duckduckgo and click on maps, it takes you to Apple maps zoomed all the way in so one screen inch is 1 meter. Scroll out 20 notches on my mouse wheel and you are still only at one inch to 10 meters. Another 20 mouse wheel notches and you can start to make out a few streets in the city center.
The Apple maps is fine; it’s the ridiculous default zoom that’s the problem. Previously I thought every search I did showed me something like a country road with no cross roads or detail and I thought Apple had no data for barely any place.
