Same. It did come on the first time asking for WiFi info, but I just pressed the "input" button on the remote and selected HDMI2 and haven't interacted with anything but the power button since. Maybe he's trying use the "smart" functions to play local media through a USB stick or something??

The yaris was discontinued in the US. As were pretty much all cars that size. There are basically no cars that size anymore here (fiesta, fit/jazz, spark, mirage, Mazda2 were all discontinued here)

You probably forgot what the floppy photo viewer was called because it had the most generic name possible: Microsoft TV Photo Viewer. https://youtu.be/QlexitdsWK4?t...

If it from this study? https://insideevs.com/news/731...

Because that was from fleet operators. The actual people driving those cars don't have to give a flying flip about the fuel costs... plugging in is an extra "not my job" moment like throwing recycling in the recycle bin instead of the nearest trashcan.

We've got a phev at home (Honda Clarity) and my wife dives it. She can barely remember to charge her cellphone, but averages about 1500 miles every 6 gallon fill-up (7 gallon tank, but shows zero bars at 6 gallons so that's where it gets filled).

Comes home, plugs in, walks in.

They had the Chevy Spark... nee Daewoo matiz they discontinued in 2022. Badge job for years. If you're not looking for as small, the Opel Astra is in the same segment as a Golf, they could spin up a Chevy Astra line in a very short time if they wanted.

In Brazil they have the Onix subcompact. Again, it'd be easy to start a us line, they have everything they need.

They have zero desire to sell anything like that here and their dealers shunt anyone away from small, low commission cars.

If this means I can get my hands on something like a Honda S660 in the US, then I'm all for it.

Last year on Black Friday I decided to replace my aging Ryzen 2400g with a 5700X because it was on a good sale (and the latest gen CPU my B350 board supports). When I added it to my cart, I noticed a ram kit had been added as well. 2x16gb DDR4. Free with purchase. DDR5 was the going concern, why not make loss leaders of all this old DDR4 and increase sales elsewhere, eh? I doubled my CPU cores, per core actual speed, and went from 16gb->48gb for ~$150. Today that exact "free" RAM sells for $165 https://www.newegg.com/corsair...

nVidias Linux driver's are crap. Constant breakage and problems with sleeping. X with Nvidia and kde is basically a total loss at this point. AMD drivers "just work" for all this. No breakage for half the kernel updates, abandonment to a million old sub branches for different hardware. Hi AMD for Linux, yeah.

It's actually worse than that. VIA raised the per-unit licensing fee from $0.20 to $0.24. rather than eat the $0.04 per unit cost increase, Dell and HP disabled the codec.

KDE Connect is the shit. I use the help out of it. It "just works" (at least with Android). I haven't had it fail to quickly recognize my device on the network except once in the last year (and that turned out to be because I'd turned off WiFi like a dope). I also like the feature that it pauses all playing media when someone calls you. And the phone-as-touchpad/keyboard. And the media controls.

Anything but their own genetics. Someone else's fault, always.

The greatest conceit of our time: "You can't trust an expert in the field because they are an expert in that field." What all the YouTube nonsense boils down to.
