I tried it on a Microsoft wireless hdmi dongle and it seemed to work fine but I was just using it to display some documentation or something. there wasn't lag but I also wasn't doing much

I like having full control over the LEDs on my electronics so that I can turn them off, or at least set them to the dimmest possible red

blinding blue and white LEDs on everything are a plague

I got a wireless charging pad made by anker. it has a blue LED but it's really tiny and discreet.

thanks, anker

so i went and bought a dumb pioneer receiver with a flip up screen

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071X596WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

for my car because it was the only one with carplay that fits in the old style single DIN space in my car. literally yesterday i ripped apart my dashboard getting the old one out

and then the people on the lotus forums tell me that most people who have installed a flip out display have had to CUT OFF THE END OF THEIR WIPER STALK to make the display not hit it on the way out so i was probably gonna return it and just hot glue an iphone to my dash or something.

then alpine announced this today which i don't generally like because it has that dumb hover look that the new mercedes cars have but i guess it's probably the best choice and it fits in a single DIN space so hey.

https://alpine-usa.com/company/press/ces2018/2018/new-9-inch-ilx-f309-in-dash-system-from-alpine-electronics-will-hover-into-many-vehicles

supposedly shipping in feb. I guess i will throw this old stupid parrot asteroid that crashes all the time in the garbage and wait for the alpine. If you were thinking about buying a parrot stereo for your car, don't, it is beyond garbage. runs bad andriod, crashes and randomly turns the stereo on and off without user input, the fm tuner app unexpectedly quits all the time, etc.

so CES is... good?

these probably have an actual crossover in them unlike the originals

i have a USB port in my console that will charge my phone and transmit audio

it also has Bluetooth

that combination has been more useful then any car dashboard has ever been. I wish they would just replace the dash with a magnetic port for your phone

surprised no one posted about toyota's guild navigator tank, the e-palette. an autonomous mobile store. this is now the fourth time i've seen bullshit like this, what the gently caress

quote:

It'll be fully electric and support autonomous driving technologies either from Toyota or from the companies that use it. It's an open platform for ride-sharing, retail, delivery, or really anything a business can think of.

"Just think how great e-Palette will be at Burning Man," Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation said during the press event.

Toyoda started off the press event announcing, "It's my goal to transition Toyota from an automobile company to a mobility company." He announced the automaker's latest competitors, Google Apple and Facebook.

at least the general trend of sticking screens on kitchen appliances and prepending the name with the word "smart" so they can double the price and cut the service life from 25 years to 5 by discontinuing software updates seems to be coming to an end

looks fine to me. some of the finishes they offer aren't my taste, but idk who is going to pay $4k for speakers that look like they are meant to complement orange shag carpet since anyone with that kind of cash for speakers has probably updated their decor at some point during the last several decades
