A head unit is the actual radio hardware in a car. Some of them can be replaced with after market hardware. Yes, when my phone is connected to the radio by Bluetooth, I have to keep the unit on and set to the Bluetooth input in order to hear notification sounds. If I have it off, or set to another input I won’t hear any notifications that come in.

In my state it is against the law to hold your phone while you’re driving so I keep it connected by bluetooth for calls. It’s not a problem when I’m listening to music or podcasts which I frequently do. It’s only an issue when I’m not listening to anything. I’ve looked into updating the car’s software but it’s already on the most current version.

Unfortunately I don’t have Android Auto capability in my car but thanks for the reply. Maybe this will help someone with a similar problem.

I’ve seen a few bands release a limited number of cassettes recently. For example, Rancid is selling Honor Is All We Know on cassette.

Most of the smartphones sold in US are not iPhones.

This is just a demonstrably false statement that’s very easily fact checked. I’m not saying that to defend Apple. I’m a Google Pixel guy myself.

Thanks. It was one of coolest thing I’ve ever had the opportunity to see in person. That and Armstrong’s suite at the Air and Space museum. I posted some other photos if you check my post history.

I’ve never owned an Apple device in my life, but I would consider buying this for $200. That’s more than worth what you’re getting.

$3,500 is a joke though. I could spend less than that building an absolute beast of a gaming PC and get orders of magnitude more use out of it.

There will be ads everywhere.

Too late.

Yeah, I agree. I don’t understand that part. I just want to be able to change the theme. I don’t need anyone else to know that I did.

Even though I have the exact version mentioned in this post, I have been unable to find any flags in the debug menu that will enable the ability to change colors in a chat conversation. For some reason neither the post or the telegram channel it links to, do not mention which flags to enable. I’ve seen it mention on other platforms that “bugle.enable_custom_themes” is the specific flag, however that does not exist on the current beta version as far as I can tell. The version I have and the one mentioned in the post is messages.android_20240125_01_RCO0.phone.openbeta_dynamic.

If anyone has a suggestions, please let me know.

Wear it on your ankle and make up a cool story about your criminal past.

I have around 12 watches. Only 2 of them cost more than $200 and both of those were gifts. I’ve never had the desire to have a smart watch let alone one that costs $1,000 but I can see the value in having a device that can measure certain parameters for medical reasons.

I really tried to get Jellyfin to work but I had so many issues. After a lot research and tinkering I finally got it to work… for about 30 seconds. No matter what I played the video would freeze shortly after starting and the audio would continue. Didn’t matter if I was remote or on the same network. I gave up.

Removed by mod

They blame Android for that for some reason. Makes no sense.

I’m curious about this as well.

I have not read a single comment anywhere on Lemmy on any post about Sync that takes it to the highly exaggerated level you made it out to be. On the contrary, I have seen many many users express appreciation to the dev and acknowledge how well the app is designed, but respectfully voice their surprise at the unusually high cost to remove ads. Just because a person thinks $20 for an app is a bit steep, doesn’t mean they think the dev is a “FUCKING WORTHLESS MORON”.

The story is basically that it’s a really nice looking app, but $20 to remove the ads is a little steep comparatively. They also have subscription options which rub me the wrong way. Those are just my opinions though. If it was the only app available I would probably be much more vocal but the fact is there are dozens of other apps and more in development so it’s not that big of a deal.

It’s an alleged superconducting material that will work at room temperature.
