yeah, i glanced over the president of toyota being named toyoda

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

these speakers have very visible mounting holes for a front screen

you're not obliged to look at the drivers

i googled this to learn wtf the exact terms were and such, and the first line of the 2nd paragraph in the first article on google read:

"The US firm said it was teaming up with London-based Wenn Media Group to carry out the initial coin offering (ICO)."

and i immediately closed the tab

the last couple of sets i built have neodymium magnets under the veneer at the corners in case i ever wanted to attach screens, but they look so nice without them that i just never bothered making them.

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?

the pioneer DEH-80PRS is still the only good non-OEM digital receiver produced for a car. it is the only one with a non-segment display that you can use without looking.

all touch screens in cars should be illegal, or at the very least disabled while the engine is running

the purpose of not letting you use it while it's idling and stopped is to punish you for having a touch screen

This is the ideal loudspeaker. You may not like it, but this is what peak acoustics looks like.

stacked large advents are also acceptable, as are anything on klipsch's "heritage" list.

why buy new speakers when there are perfectly good old ones that sound as good and look better

new speakers may sound the same but they are a lot smaller, my new bookshelf speakers are equivalent to floor standing speakers from the 70's

infernal machines: Oct 11, 2012; we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

Same but any interface not directly associated with control of the vehicle.

E: I'm not a fanatic, I'm willing to allow manual adjustment of environmental controls when the car is in gear but stationary, provided that the break is applied at that time.

also if they touch anything but the steering wheel, the car should spontaneously combust, tape the owners death, and post it on YouTube as a warning to all humans

here's the off brand stupid crap I so dearly crave

quote:

If you�re like most of the world, that means starting the day off with a steaming cup of Joe. You brew a pot or K-cup or whatever and then pour it into your travel mug and head off to work, hoping that your insulated vessel will keep the precious liquid hot enough for you to get your day started. Or you start with a cold drink in a thermos, likewise hoping it will keep cold throughout the day. But what if your bottle could do more than just contain liquid? What if it could heat it to maintain your desired temperature throughout the day? Or likewise cool it? Or even boil water to purify it for drinking or for use with freeze-dried food packs while camping? Or if it could actually be used to blend up your smoothie or to brew your coffee? I give you�the Cauldryn Fyre!

No joke, the Caudryn literally stopped me in my tracks as I passed the company�s booth at the Sands Expo. A water bottle you control with your voice using Google Home? Madness, I thought! A water bottle that offered smart device app control? Why? And also, how? A water bottle that can keep my coffee at the exact temperature ALL DAY or boil and purify water in the face of any zombie apocalypse?! Tell me more!

The secret of the Cauldryn resides in its modular design concept with a removable base system which the company describes as being similar to Legos. �We just keep asking, what else can we clip on?� Current clip on modules includes a blender attachment ($29.99), a percolator attachment ($14.99) and the heater. (A cooling attachment will be along soon! As well as a �glamping� friendly LED lantern with bug zapper, as well as 360-degree field Bluetooth speaker!) The rechargeable battery pack screws into the bottom providing all the Cauldryn�s power.

The bottle has a 2 cup capacity and they claim it can boil water twice on a single battery charge, or be used up to seven times for water purification. It also has settings for maintaining temperature. The device can also be used for charging another device.

Oh, and with Google Assistant, you can simply use your voice to start a brew cycle or ask the Cauldryn to start boiling the water. Welcome to the future, people! Available now for $149.99.

computer modeling has allowed speaker design to get much, much better than it was 40 years ago plus there's bass management and subwoofers which weren't really a thing in the "hi fi" days
