Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?
  • The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

    The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

    Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

  • Yeah. I think the bottom line is that if you're still using Google Maps instead of Android Auto, you're bad and should feel bad. Personally, I hate every car newer than mine because of similar practices in what seems like the entire auto industry

  • On the maps app, they recently removed the little media player controls that showed up at the bottom when something, anything, was playing. Just removed it for seemingly no reason.

    It was the only maps app that would do that. Waze has to install an applet for each media player app you want to control, and guess what, unless it's Spotify and a handful of other popular apps, you're out of luck. No generic media control interface. It's so backwards! Just take whatever's playing and give me forward, back, and pause!
