  • GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused version of Android, is adding Android Auto support

    Jump

  • If you're talking an Android tablet/headunit, separate from Android Auto, that makes sense... But Android Auto is essentially a simplified interface for specific apps installed on your phone, and is generally quicker and safer than using the phone interface. No one here is arguing for a separate android console interface, so I'm not sure we're talking about the same things. The whole point of Android Auto is to take a separate interface and OS out of the equation and to allow you to use your phone as the brain.

  • What apps were you hoping for it to support?

  • I am not sure how it could be much more intuitive, at least from a touch screen perspective. It's just a touch interface with an app drawer, nothing much more to it than that. However, if it wasn't a touch screen I could believe it not being very nice to use, as I have a friend that has an Audi that does CarPlay but the screen isn't touch, so he had to use physical buttons to use the interface. THAT is definitely not good.

    As for the apps, I use Signal, WhatsApp, Messages, Spotify, YT Music, Waze, and Google Maps and they all support AA, so at least for my purposes it does what I need from a car apps interface standpoint.

  • The main argument I have against just phone + bluetooth is that you have to unlock your screen, keep it on, and it's a smaller size. I have wireless android auto set up, along with a magsafe case+charger, so my routine is to get in the car, slap the phone on the charger, and everything just comes up on my head unit display. For me it is way more convenient than having to deal with my phone display, and the larger screen is also better for navigation.

    I have yet to hear any real negative points against AA or CarPlay for that matter, mostly it comes down to preferences like yours rather than actual interface issues.

  • I am curious why you think that? My reasons for liking it are the fact that it essentially just works, and gives me a consistent UI across multiple vehicles. What are your issues with it?

  • What Film Are You Surprised Didn't Get A Sequel?

  • Wow, I had no idea this was removed from circulation... It's one of the all-time great episodes! I understand the problems with Michael Jackson, but I don't think this episode should be deleted from existence.

  • TurboTax Parent Company’s Latest Argument Against Free Tax Filing: It Will Harm Black Taxpayers

    Jump

  • I highly recommend Cash App Taxes if you can believe it. I was skeptical but it was totally free both state and federal, whereas everywhere else appears to charge for state. Did mine last year and it was awesome, I previously was using TaxAct until they started increasing prices year after year and also kept getting worse at upselling for the state filing.

    Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

    Jump

  • Wow, was not aware although after just looking it up, evidently it is only for 'premium' rides and not standard. As if having someone not talk to you should cost extra. 🙄

    Jump

  • Cool, now both Lyft and Uber need a "no extra conversation" option too. I don't want to talk to the driver when I use rideshares, I hate the incessant small talk they want me to be a part of. I know some people might like it or at the very least not mind it, but I absolutely can't stand it 9 times out of 10. Give me the option to specifically not have it please.

  • Have watched TOS - Enterprise. Will watching Discovery-SNW increase my enjoyment of Lower Decks?

    Jump

  • A lot of things related to Discovery are supposed to be secret, so if they stick to canon, there shouldn't be much mention of Discovery at all I think. As of now there hasn't been much if anything related to Discovery discussed as far as I remember.

  • Gargoyles Remastered – Announce Trailer

    Jump

  • Well shit! That's awesome. Can't say that I'm a huge fan of the graphical upgrade actually, at least during gameplay. Looks too much like a flash game or something. However, maybe it'll feel different during play. Definitely glad you can switch styles. Still will be getting this just to support Gargoyles stuff. Wonder if they'll add any voice work from the original cast? Can never have too much Keith David.

    Jump

  • Classic goof here, you used scenes from two different seasons! Geordi is wearing operations gold in the top photo and command red in the bottom! Never mind the fact that they are wearing two different uniform styles.

    I certainly hope someone is fired for this blunder.

  • Good, I hope this means we get even more turn-based RPGs again. I'm 100% fine with people enjoying the new action-oriented RPGs like Final Fantasy has become, but I love turn based so much more. I didn't like that it felt like there couldn't be both on the market. There is just something way more enjoyable to me about turn-based as opposed to mashing buttons and twitchy moves like I'm playing God of War.
