Man, I really feel like GM had been doing a lot of things right. Every manufacturer has their ups and downs, pros and cons, but they seemed like they were really trying to innovate.

But then they had to go and remove Android Auto and CarPlay and, with a straight face, try to tell us it was for our convenience. Instead, behind our backs, they admitted it was for their data-grubby fetish.

Fuck off, GM.

And fuck you for destroying the faith and hope I had in your journey. The goodwill you lost from me and others will take some time to rebuild.

So, in the meantime, who cares if this EV is affordable or not. It has no spot in my garage.

And was a dancer. And was a competitive diver. And was a fencer (the stolen goods kind).

To your point, he honestly made me appreciate how actors have lives outside of the set.

I can never take Jason Statham seriously in his action movies after learning he was a painted up rave dancer in the background of multiple 90s music videos.

The Turris Omnia is an open, powerful router that comes with OpenWRT.

Turris adds an additional UI and features beyond that, but the OpenWRT UI is still available and the stock firmware can be completely replaced with OpenWRT if so desired.

It’s a bit pricey but has great specs (1.6 GHz dual core, 2GB RAM, 8GB eMMC) and is an excellent device for tinkerers with headers exposing UART, JTAG, GPIO, and more. It has three internal mPCIe ports as well.

I am not affiliated with Turris but just happened to stumble upon a new one at a garage sale a couple of days ago. Lucky find and I’m excited.

I’m confused how I would have written that as well. Coincidental for sure. I think I did have “modern” in the title initially and didn’t realize editing left it since it’s similar. I dunno.

I speak English and I’m actually old enough to know what modem stands for, unfortunately 😂.

edit: It was autocorrect apparently. It happened again and was almost impossible to detect because of the similarity.

I’ve posted it online now as well as included a pic of the LEDs lit up through the PETG pipes.

I’ll post it to Printables.com soon. I’m not sure how common the brittle plastic issue was but, yeah, there seem to be a lot of variations using this exact same case design.

I haven’t seen the LEDs yet since I’ve lost the power supply, but I’ve used the same PETG pipe technique a couple of times before and it works great.

Dangit! You beat me to it.

Is this the new GM infotainment system?

fsv or tdfsb

These are 3D filesystem browser apps that let you navigate your filesystem as though files and folders were trees in a forest that you’re walking/flying through.

They were practically useless aside from the wow factor. I believe one may have made it into a movie scene. Jurassic Park?

I should have been more specific. I was hoping this fixes an issue with LO not scaling correctly when using multiple screens with different scaling factors. Unfortunately this is still an issue.

Please tell me it fixes scaling issues on Wayland.

I feel like everybody is overlooking the fact that this person is getting an ad, to watch ads, after already paying for Premium.

I used BlueProximity for a number of years and it was great.

It eventually became defunct, but that link appears to be a fork to bring it somewhat up to date. I have not tested this new version though since I work from home now.

The infotainment system in my friend’s truck would periodically get wonky and he would have to pull over, turn the truck off, wait a minute, then turn it back on.

We always joked that he had to do a Ctrl-Alt-Brake Pedal.

I mean, yeah, I guess …

But, that seems like bad advice in general and I’m not sure why you would say that. I am genuinely curious if you care to explain. Beyond reading most of this article, I haven’t done any research into current interest rates or house prices lately, so maybe there’s more to it than I am aware.

Generally, buying a house is a good long-term strategy. You can give 100% of your money to somebody else with rent, or you can effectively put an increasingly bigger portion of that money into savings. Even if a mortgage payment is 50% more than rent somewhere, that difference would basically be the principal portion of the payment at the beginning and more later on, meaning it stays your money. And even if the price of houses are leveling off now, they’re nearly guaranteed to go up at some rate.

According to the article, if you don’t think you’ll be able to keep your mortgage for 13.5 years, then it sounds like the closing cost and other fees could make it a bad investment. So maybe if you’re 60 years old or if you don’t ever expect to increase your salary then maybe this isn’t a good idea. Otherwise, I don’t think somebody should just blanket decide to resign to being a slave to housing and life in general.

Buying a home isn’t as easy as it used to be. But it’s not impossible. And it is probably the single biggest thing you can do to change the trajectory of your life. For many people, I would think it is worth serious consideration.

These are just my opinions, though. I’m not a financial advisor.
