The Great King Virtue Is Dead!

based anti-drm post

oh wow! i doubt im going to use that feature because android auto is insufferable but that’s still really neat!

I assume you must’ve tried openboard. What issues did you have with it? The predictions have been more than satisfactory in my experience.

then use a phone mount like a sane person. i cant drive without gps either but there are so many reasons these fuckass tablets are an inferior option, most especially that they would force me to use google maps

I’m just fundamentally against those tablets in cars. I’ve never seen a single good implementation of it. This first question I always have is… what can this do that my phone cant do easier, faster, and better? And 100% of the time I’ve had to ask this it has been nothing. I just use a phone grip on either my dashboard or my windshield and that accomplishes the same thing without having to use the massive, clunky, and usually dysfunctional tablet stuck on my console. Another enormous complaint is that most cars that work like this also remove aux/tape/cd and then BURY the bluetooth audio option underneath a bunch of finnicky android auto shit that has so many different problems all of which wouldn’t exist in the first place if i could just set my phone in a clamp and plugged in the aux cable. The only benefit android consoles have i can tell it has is being big if you have bad eyesight.

bandcamp-dl is a blessing. i used to use zotify too back when it actually worked and it was a godsend!

that sucks i guess??

real answer? im way too stupid to figure out how the hell to use it. i spent 3 straight days trying to get it working a couple years ago with no luck.

That’s a fair point to be honest but it would mean more job openings for me, so… /j

actually phenomenal sentence to read on my screen
