maybe im ignorant but i use a bluetooth adapter on my phone to aux in my car and it sounds perfectly fine. before this car i used a cassette adapter from the aux on my phone and that sounded completely fine too. i dont really see how a usb splitter would diminish the quality either it's a digital output  can someone explain why thats bad

It's entirely possible my auxiliary port is just garbage because it definitely cuts out all the time along with sounding like poo poo. Like I have to plug it in the most absolutely perfect way and never touch it at all or it cuts off.

BalloonFish posted:I listened to an interesting radio documentary about advertising that did a whole bit about how former Eastern Bloc countries still have a very different cultural attitude to it: In the days of planned economies and communism most consumer items or luxuries were either desirable but unavailable or over-produced, outdated low-quality garbage. Almost everything else, and especially anything that wasn't the most basic or essential form of 'thing' was in short supply. So advertising was mostly superfluous - people didn't really want what they had and couldn't get what they wanted. A product that was advertised was either so terrible that no one wanted it or so rare that it might as well have been fiction. Conversely I have a lot of DDR made stuff though (I buy lots of old tools) and it's often good quality poo poo, DDR bench grinder, USSR micrometers and such. Also a pair of jerry cans in aluminum that are branded USSR, superior to their western counterparts in steel IMO.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I dont disagree but how long have aux ports been gone from basically all phones? Like 6 or 7 years now? News to me, terrible news. Guess my phone is 5 years now but it wasn't the latest model, I love the aux port, hate bluetooth. hot cocoa on the couch posted:my car has a cassette deck and i have a cassette to aux converter in it and now i have to buy tape to bluetooth which looks like it requires charging so that's epic. dunno what im gonna do for my truck, aux to bluetooth i guess which also requires charging I just went through a bunch of effort to make my own aux port for my cassette player in my car. I'll probably have this phone 2 more years unless something happens to it, will be interesting to see the state of things then.

bluetooth is fine when it is working as it should. when it doesn't work, it is amongst the most aggravating things ever unfortunately it does not work as it should 100% of the time or even close to that

The first thing I did when I bought my truck, since it was cheap and I had the money aside for the actual maintenance stuff, was buy a Pioneer CD playing head unit with bluetooth, a wired mic, an aux and a SiriusXM hookup and threw that poo poo into it. The bluetooth has been wonky for a long time but it works fine, you just have to set it up rather than it auto-connecting these days.

it's just inconsistent how well it works with any given pair of transmitter/receiver, whereas again the tech it replaced was extremely stable and nearly universal. a problem i still regularly have with bluetooth is on shared receivers. such as if you and family both play in the car, or home audio system. pairing and unpairing is just annoying enough that you dont want to have to do it anywhere near each time you use for example sometimes when my wife starts her car while i am in the house my phone will takeover the connection. yet sometimes the connection is poor when im in the same room as another receiver. it's bad

My car's Bluetooth is so garbage that 90% of the time I just listen to the radio. Unless it's over a 30-45 minute trip, it's just not worth the hassle of fighting with it to connect, MAYBE, on the 5th try.

My cars Bluetooth has been in pretty great. Blew my mind when I walked out to car and cnnversation continued inside, short drive and got out of the car and right back into my phone no I put from me. Seamless. Windows Bluetooth blows though.

this is more an iPhone thing but I really enjoy starting the car and with bluetooth selected on my receiver and my phone deciding it's going to play apple music or spotify instead of the podcast or audible book I was just listening to when turned the car off last.

Google assistant worked for like, a week with holding down home after I switched it from the power button, after they took away activating it with the search bar microphone. Now they broke that. I just want to set timers and sometimes... awkwardly fail at creating an event.

I guess this is technically something that's ALWAYS been shittier, but I have two or three 2-factor logins (banks/CCs) that will not use my Google Voice number because they're sitll scared of IP phones. So I have to use the phone's "actual" number, which I never use EXCEPT for these two-factor things. Is it a big deal? No, I suppose not. But GV had the advantage that I could theoretically login even if I didn't have my phone, as long as I have a computer I'm still logged into Google with through Voice's web app. And these bank and CC websites also refuse to use any form of 2-factor other than text or phone call.

While the above is of course just a performance art project trying to kill someone with an overdose of penicillin, GPT has actually been quite useful medical tool for me. It helps with checking medication/supplements interactions. It has also diagnosed a skin condition for someone I know which their lovely dermatologist couldn't(or didn't want) to figure out. You of course need to have an ironclad rule to never follow any medical advice/diagnosis it gives you unless it can provide a credible source for it. Only ever do what the credible source says. It's an order of magnitude better than Dr. Google and used correctly it could cut down on doctor visits(but of course it's just gonna be used by hypochondriacs to self-diagnose with the bubonic plague and lupus and clog up the emergency rooms even more)

as with every generation of ai tech, i think it has (increasingly larger but still very) niche applications where it could potentially be useful but the hype train must run its course. so it is thrown at every problem for a few years until enough people come to understand its limitations

Will the AI nurses be housed in robot bodies so they can lift/move patients and insert IV's and give injections and insert catheters and so forth? I'd hope so.
