that whole situation is weird. a lot of the price drop is due to the Saudis ramping production back up again because they decided they would rather be the majority volume exporter to the market at a lower price which gives them a better diplomatic position than moving less volume at a higher price. the lmao part of this was they only decided to ramp production back up after other countries sunk trillions in developing new fields that were only profitable at the elevated price point and now have to almost immediately be shut back down after producing fuckall

see, uh, one of our programmers was having a wicked huge j/o session and slapped his salami off the keyboard while shoving the wide end of the mouse up his rear end, and somehow that resulted in some code that changed your background to a full-page Denny's $5.99 Grand Slam ad. sory.

android auto works like carplay, insofar that it's a "dumb" system for display/control of a phone

one thing im curious about is if apple and google have their hands tied by car manufacturers when it comes to updates. if they are, isn't it possible we'll get to a situation where lots of cars on the road are running old vulnerable versions of carplay/android auto? then all you need is somebody to connect a compromised device, and if the car doesn't have good separation of its other systems, boom a script kiddie sends you off a cliff

years ago in jakarta i remember seeing a sim card at 7-11 that billed itself as "the world's first halal" cell service provider. i wonder if that was version one.

Ahahahaha

it seems like cloudflare has started to reject certain ssl connection methods and now all the lovely old android phones can't use Awful.apk to browse the forums anymore. there it defaults to those old methods and fails.

if I was a worse person I would end support for those 4+ year old phone OSs right now instead of at the end of the year like I was planning

two months sooner than planned? do it and don't look back

thanks for putting up with us in the awful.app thread

yeah i was gonna say that google apparently has no problem with oems installing competing assistants. idk if that means you can install one from the play store, which seems unlikely given how deeply integrated they should be. the best i can figure is amazon doesn't want to work with moto to install it on the software

remember how weird amazon was about the fire, they really really don't like not controlling distribution.
