  • Have you thought about upgrading to an aftermarket stereo or a one of those CarPlay / aa units that connects to your car’s existing auto inputs? I had CarPlay in a 2001 Subaru.

  • Exactly. These systems have been around for a decade and my new phone still works on an old Alpine CarPlay head unit from 2014.

    Base alpine software may feel dated, but once the phone is in, I get the modern version of all my mapping, listening, and communication software.

    Projection systems rock. I was an early adopter and I refuse to go back. Docking a phone on an air vent is janky.

  • Yeah, but most manufacturers support CarPlay and Android Auto these days. Your car’s dashboard experience inherits whatever your phone’s OS projection system sends.

    My old car’s onboard infotainment may be a decade behind, but when I plug my phone in, it’s 2024.

  • After rolling to CarPlay and Android auto for a while, I’d rather not use a tiny handheld UI when I drive. iOS and Android’s auto UIs have bigger buttons and are more glanceable. If I’m using a screen while driving, I’d rather the screen that was designed for peripheral vision and less precise button targeting.

  • I’m sure Trump and his new auto industry advisor, Elon Musk, will get right on that. 😔

  • Maybe I’m naïve, but I’m hoping their overreach is so bad that the pendulum aggressively swings back in the other direction.

  • He spent a lot more than that. Twitter was $44B.

  • Hacker gets 10 years for stealing $20M in home buyers’ down payments

    Jump

  • Oof. I can’t imagine how devastating it would be to lose a down payment. Many people, especially first time home buyers, are throwing every spare bit of savings, and need to borrow money from friends and family, for that payment.

  • Going into debt is totally fine with the GOP as long as it’s going into debt to make the rich richer.

  • Donald Trump border czar: Workplace immigration raids will be conducted

    Jump

  • What are the odds that these raids don’t prioritize all the red agricultural areas that rely on migrants for work?

    Those areas are littered with Trump signs, but this policy would nuke their workforces.

  • I don’t know if they’re already doing this, but they need to find ways to make security so robust that it is architecturally impossible for the business to handover useful data.

    And here’s hoping courts continue to allow people to plead the 5th and not fork over passwords. If that protection falls, I don’t know how you’d design a digital workaround that would keep people out of contempt of court charges.

  • When you interview people about why they voted for him, they overwhelmingly talk about the economy.

    IMHO, people should be yelling at him about every single thing he does that isn’t directly increasing take home pay and lowering cost of living.

  • Yep, it's pretty normal

  • Unwinding after a shit week with a bottle of beer or glass of wine in the evening, with the extended family over for a meal, while kids play games. Tens of millions of Americans are doing this right now.

    I don’t want to live in the America where that isn’t normal. That shit is wholesome.

  • [September 2024] JD Vance says US could drop support for NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms

  • These autocrats have always wanted to drop NATO.

    Let’s not pretend like X is their reason. Supporting autocracy is their reason, and now they’re trying to come up with excuses to get the public onboard.
