The Nav system on my Audi Q7 BLOWS compared to Android Auto. It can’t seem to understand a damn thing I say.

I ran into this with my 2013 Kia Sorento ICE (which was subsequently totalled. :( )

When you replace the on-board infotainment system, there’s an interoperability package that has to be installed to make sure the existing functions of the vehicle continue to work.

Think of it like a translation layer, everything on the dashboard that went through the old system, has to be hooked up to the new system. Also complicated by steering wheel controls.

When it was all said and done, I had the full array of cameras that I wanted (turn signal cameras are amazing!) and everything worked…

Except the one little button that changed the interior lighting. It was forever stuck on red.

Now, for an EV, it’s essential everything work properly. I can totally see GM shutting that down.

This is kind of like the complaint about EVs not having AM radios… yeah, there’s a reason for that!

Plus $95 for a “physical edition” with no disc. :(

I was willing to buy the game… for $60. But not a digital code. I get that they want to push people to Gamepass, but $60 is 3 months and at the end I actually own nothing?

The writing was kind of on the wall for Avowed when they announced they were dumping it after the holidays.

I was like “Oh, like Forspoken? Good luck!”

The mechanics were all in the cart, it pushed the figure forward rather than having it pull the cart.

Still, a neat bit of kit!

Best bet?

Figure out what you want to do, then look for those locally.

Say you want to work in industry “x”. Search for that in your town, hit up individual web pages and see what opportunities are out there. Go there in person if you have to.

Here’s an example… Say you’re in the Portland area and you want to get into knifemaking.

Sub in your own city and industry of choice.

See my “set 2” links above. (at the time) $3,200 8K television, “If you want the brightest image possible, use the default Dynamic Mode settings with Local Dimming set to ‘High’, as we were able to get 1666 nits in the 10% peak window test.”

HDR still trash.

Yup, yup. Highly rated when I bought them, but in actual usage? Not so much.

I WISH it was the default settings. I went through every calibration and firmware update I could find. Even the model specific calibrations on rtings.com. Nothing made a difference.

It appears to just be a flaw in Samsung’s implementation. After going through all the Samsung forum information, the only suggestion that’s guaranteed to work is “turn it off”.

I’ve been told HDR is not for bright rooms, you have to make everything dark…

Yeah…

“Even playing in HDR…”

Maybe that’s part of the problem? HDR implementation on my Samsung sets is garbage, I have to disable it to watch anything. Too bad too, because the picture is gorgeous without it.

HDR Off:

When I’m on camera, I never do a background replacement and I’m always in front of bookshelves. Anyone can ask “What’s that thing behind you?” and I’ll take it down and show them.

Also a good idea to have a password or code phrase. This is something that’s been advised for child abductions for years now.

“Your mom sent me to pick you up.”

“What’s the password?”

“. . .”

The hand in front of face thing is interesting, and in the video you can see clear distortion around the headphones which could have been a result of a replacement background.

I’d have requested they turn off all filters and see how they react to that. “Oh, I’m not running any filters.” would be a clear lie and a reason to end the interview.

I don’t know that it’s possible to drive a bot crazy yet…

Eh, it’s a country. I do dig American Chinese food, I know it’s not the same.

Chinese slave-workers helped build the American West, their contribution and sacrifice is rarely recognized.
