all modern cars have totally proprietary infotainment bullshit.

Kinda unrelated, but this reminded me of a friend i had that bought a totally legit, 100% not stolen, electric scooter or something like that. They were one of those scooters that you have an app for, you have to activate it online, all of that.
After a couple of weeks of using this totally legit, not stolen electric scooter, it suddenly stopped working because i think it had been disabled by the actual owner on the company's website. Then i, as a more tech-savy person, started googling about that type of stuff to see if there was any way to just bypass all of that shit and just get that shit to work, and to my surprise there is a community of people who just brainstorm ways to get these (stolen) vehicles to work, basically jailbreaking these stolen eletric scooters.
I mean, it's all fine and dandy when my methhead friend who knowingly bought an eletric scooter is getting fucked, but imagine if it's a subscription service and they just turn off your shit because your credit card expired and you forgot to put a new one there to pay for it.

My friend bought a 2013 car and the touch screen was miscalibrated so you triggered to the left of what you touched. It's still not fixed and I don't even know if it would be possible for the end user to fix it.

Yeah, it figures. I remember when cars had a radio slot and you could insert and take out the whole thing in 2 seconds. It's so easy to discourage consumers from fixing or replacing malfunctioning parts.

They did the same thing with phones. You could replace a battery in Samsung Galaxy S2 very easily. Now you need a specialized device to warm up the glue that holds the whole thing together and most people are not willing to risk damaging a $500 device if they can avoid it.

Look how simple it used to be.

I would kill just to get my hands on a up-to-date modern phone with a removable battery.

On the brightside, every phone now uses USB-C and has Bluetooth connectivity, back in the day you had some crazy charging cables.
On the shitty side, i think i've fried my tablet by using my Steam Deck charger to charge that shit, now the touch screen stops randomly and it starts to go crazy sometimes when i'm charging.
Oh well, i'm too lazy to find the proper charger.

I don't think that kind of issue would be caused by a different device's USB-C charger. USB devices negotiate the capabilities of the device and the cable when first plugged in, so as to not deliver improper voltage or bother with deilvering data types or speeds the cable can't handle.

 

[iScream into the void]

On the note of every car using some proprietary infotainment system, can't you pull and flash the main computer in your car, the ECU I think it's called, with your own custom image or is that currently a pipe dream?

 

[Sneeds]

back in my day radios were one of two standard form factors and you could simply replace it.

And the aftermarket headunits had cool screen savers

There are perfectly working phones without USB-C and incompatibilities between Bluetooth versions may exist.

I think I found nulls quirky girlfriend material. They can bond over their shared hatred of technology, corporations and advertising.

The email in xer Xitter bio links to the domain of Creative Artists Agency, a Talent agency operating out of Hollywood.

Searching on the Farms yields some results:

Who is CAA?
"Creative Artists Agency", the glowiest name for a talent agency I've ever seen.


CAA is the agency behind a bunch of celebrities and brands, including BuzzFeed and Rooster Teeth (remember this for later).

US Thread 'Joe Biden, 82, inks deal with powerhouse agency CAA as ex-president potentially eyes Hollywood ventures'

WASHINGTON — Former President Joe Biden has made his first known move to monetize his post-presidency, announcing Monday that he will be represented by Creative Artists Agency for as-yet unknown services.

The talent agency deal comes after insiders speculated on how Biden and his family might make money — after reaping millions from foreign patrons and a dubious Ivy League professorship during and after his vice presidency.

Thread '👃🏻Sports super-agent Jonathan Barnett accused of rape and assaults in US lawsuit'

Jul 11, 2025

L | A

Jonathan Barnett was executive chair of sports agency CAA Stellar until last year

The British sports super-agent Jonathan Barnett and his former employer Hollywood talent group Creative Artists Agency are being sued in a US court by a woman who says Barnett raped her multiple times over several years.

The woman, referred to as Jane Doe in the civil complaint filed in a California district court, alleges that Barnett “trafficked” her from Australia to the UK in 2017 and “tortured” her between then and 2023, keeping her as a “sex slave”.

Post in thread 'Pizzagate / Pedogate'

Jul 17, 2020

It's like how Chris D'Elia put out a video completely ripping on people who think there's pedophilia in Hollywood, and people went "hey, Chris, buddy, you seem awfully defensive about this." Then, a few months later, the floodgates opened and his creepy behaviour got exposed. He doth protest too much and all that, you know?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNRJOI4aOTc

In June 2020, D'Elia was accused of sexual harassment, grooming, and solicitation of nude photos by multiple underage girls.[29] D'Elia denied the allegations, saying that he had neither "knowingly...

I detest modern cars with proprietary nonsense, everything computer controlled, and filled with electronic nannies that yap at you constantly. However, I also detest EVs, because I live in a frozen wasteland where batteries don't work, charging infrastructure doesn't exist, and also I don't fancy being roasted alive in an electrochemical fire because a rock happened to penetrate the battery. At least if my gasser catches fire, I can put it out with a fire extinguisher. A lithium battery fire is a full on nightmare that requires a full fire department response to stop.

I plan to drive a series of 2015 or earlier Toyota pickups until they pry them from my cold dead hands.

The only thing that would change that is if Toyota would release the Hilux Champ stateside.




This beautiful thing was developed as a work truck for the 3rd world market. It retails for approximately $12,000, only weighs 2700lbs, can be had with a 2.4l turbodiesel making 250-ish lb/ft of torque, is body-on-frame, front engine, rear wheel drive, can be had with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed auto tranny, crank windows, no touchscreen or infotainment of any kind. You can order it as just a chassis and cab too, and build it out as a camper or an SUV. All they need to do to make it perfect is offer a 4x4 version and maybe an extended cab or crew cab version.

But we will never get it in the US because of the goddamn Chicken Tax. Reaffirming my position that Lyndon B. Johnson is the most evil president in US history.

I hate Lyndon B Johnson for the chicken tax and Reagan and Hughes for the 1986 machine gun ban for civilians act.

Slate suffers the same problem that every electric vehicle manufacturer suffers from.
It has to look fancy and unique as much as possible at any cost.

Idk if this is a controversial opinion but i kind of like the thread sponsoring feature, especially now that I'm seeing correctly sized banners for it.
It makes the site feel more alive even when the post doesn't fit the banner.

but yeah I think the argument by most people is that they should be allowed to upload banners. I'll allow people to upload custom banners/skyscrapers/squares and that will be the advertisement instead. if you don't want to it will just show the post.

I'd thought I'd only see it for the one day, but I'm chuckling that the sponsored Sharty post, "Poop and niggers dying" is being featured for more than 24 hours and I keep encountering it. GREAT VALUE!

Wasn't that Jan the nuzlocke guy obsessed with her at one point? I remember him going after Alpharad pretty hard out of jealousy.

back in my day radios were one of two standard form factors and you could simply replace it.

Perhaps the one upside to infotainment culture is niggers don't steal your radio unit with a crowbar anymore because you left your windows down or doors unlocked for a 5 minute CVS trip. Did you ever have the kind with the removable faceplate to deter theft? Some people lost them, or had just the faceplate stolen out of spite.
