  • can I for example upgrade the OS?

    I mean, technically, sure.

    But what I suspect you’re really asking is “has someone else done the legwork to create a stable build of a modern version of android for what is probably a very underpowered device since it’s in a vehicle.”

    The reality is you would probably have to dig into the hardware, find appropriate drivers, and then dig into the AOSP and build a stable Android build for it from there. And depending on it’s age, you might only be able to upgrade it to a certain point and not all the way to current Android. (For example, LineageOS no longer directly supports Google Nexus devices because their hardware is simply too old to work with the new versions of Android)

    Because sadly, the likelihood of someone already having done it for an obscure vehicle head unit is less likely than, say, a flagship phone that tons of people own. It’s not impossible, someone may have already done the work, but I’d wager on that not being the case, because I’ve had just slightly unpopular phones that there are no LineageOS builds for, for example.

















  • Ok, probably thought about this too much but here goes:

    The reason Musk is obsessed with plausible deniability and things like faking his scores is because he believes he is some kind of trickster god who you can never prove one way or another since he keeps his personal life fairly private (other than all the fucking xeets and children).

    So, he’s giggling behind the scenes going “Ha ha you can’t prove it!” even though anyone with a fucking brain knows what’s going on, and what’s sad, is he think that makes himself clever. What’s even worse is it seems he enjoys knowing people know but can’t prove it so he can keep dangling it saying “ha ha I dictate reality what are you gonna do about it.”

    It’s fucking childish insanity.

    Vivian is a thousand times the person this dork could ever be, and she did a better job than I did of expressing how easy and dumb and not-clever it is to hide behind “plausible deniability” when you’re basically screaming your violent tendencies out loud for all to hear.




  • It’s feels like it’s because deep down they all know ‘deport’ means ‘forced work camp’ since no country will actually take them.

    It’s so transparent and yet so few really do pause on this moment and understand the severity of what this means for this kind of talk to be normalized so soon. For a Seig Heil to be normalized so soon and excused as “misunderstood.” They have no principles, none, there is no bottom and they find a perverse joy in hurting those they have power over.

    People need to be aware of just how deep in this we are.
