That’s awesome! I think there’s a newer generation of CarPlay from Apple that lets the auto-makers use the Apple UI for everything, including the spedometers, climate and other gauges. If that data can be integrated into third party apps, I think developers would come up with some really cool things.

I really wish my Hyundai would let me do that, maybe I should look into Nissan for my next car haha. How have you been finding the Leaf? I’ve only heard good things about it from others.

I seriously wouldn’t buy a car at this point if it didn’t have CarPlay or Android Auto in it. Navigation with Google Maps or Waze is vastly superior to anything a car company is ever going to come up with (props to Apple Maps too for making big improvements in the last several years). Integrated music experiences where I can directly see my Spotify playlists or favorite tracks without touching my phone is just something I’m used to and couldn’t go back. Having a voice assistant that works from Google / Apple (I know Siri is rough sometimes lol) will always be better than any voice controls a car company comes up with. Oh, and huuuge points to Overcast for just reliably being the best podcast app for many years and having a super easy to navigate CarPlay app. I’d lose all of that and more if there was no integration with my phone and we went back to the awful bluetooth pairing that we had before with terrible UI design and no support for third party apps.

At this point, that’s more important to me than whatever engine they’ve stuck in it. Just give me good mileage, pass inspection and last at least 150k miles and we’re good. I’m not drag racing so I don’t need a rocket ship lol

It has an adapter to plug into the CCS2 standard-compliant connector, right? Otherwise you’d be left out of the vast majority of the charging network.

They’re working in Bean

Would also add Arctic to the list. The dev is very communicative with his community and has been releasing regular updates. The app is very stable, even though it’s just a TestFlight release and runs extremely fast (Avelon is also very fast too).

It also has fully working mod tools now, which almost none of the others have.

Bean is definitely one of the furthest along and is also out on the App Store. I’ve also found that Thunder is really polished and has a different take on UI compared to some of the others.

I have found myself using Arctic and Bean the most right now, but there’s really a lot of great options out there.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I think LW is on 0.18.5, which is what I’m running and I get push notifications with no issues.

No, in Bean. I believe they also work in Lemmios

Fair enough, it’s awesome that we have so many great choices right now! The apps are all maturing and gaining features and in a year I’d bet we have several very solid options to choose from.

I do keep my fingers crossed that Christian will release an Apollo for Lemmy someday.

Install and run a reputable malware removal tool. I’d recommend hitman pro. It should be able to clean your PC. Norton is garbage.

I had thought you’d installed Norton 360. I just realized 360 Total Security is a different company altogether. I’d instantly remove that from your PC, that’s a Chinese security software that looks like it’s named itself to be similar in name to Norton 360 (US developed but still not great). Any software that’s trying to draw people in by looking like something else is a big red flag.

Security software runs at a very low level and generally has full control over your PC if it wants. It needs to be something reputable. For me that means a few things: how good is it at defending against threats (both known and zero day), how many resources does it use on the PC (I still want to be able to game), how much do I trust the country where it was developed. The last one isn’t a one size fits all and really needs to be person to person. In terms of raw performance and security the two best are likely Bitdefender (Romania) and Kaspersky (Russia). AVG (Czech Republic), ESET (Slovakia), Webroot (USA) and Sophos (UK) are all decent options with good security and performance. All of them cost less than a single game for multiple years of protection so I’d pick one, pay for it and keep it running always.

Can’t believe the first season back is already almost done! Any word yet on if it’s been picked up for season 12?

fry,
@fry@fry.gs avatar

No I’m… doesn’t!

Avelon has been pretty awesome and so has both Bean and Acrtic. All 3 are looking like solid options.

Are you using an app or the web interface? It works on Lemmy, maybe it doesn’t work on kbin?

Here is what it looks like on Lemmy: https://fry.gs/comment/116299

Just a quick note that there’s no content on that link because that community hadn’t federated to that instance before. Any new content will, but old content doesn’t usually pull very far into the past.

You already linked the lemmy.world link above, which has federated content, another example would be lemm.ee

Typing in the link as I did above will create a link for each user that appears native to their instance, rather than sending them to lemmy.world, kbin.social or lemm.ee

EDIT: I’m not entirely sure how to get this to work right on kbin if the above method isn’t working. If you have a suggestion or something different to try, would definitely love to make sure I’m linking in a way that works for the kbin users too!

You should be able to edit your post with the link. Should make it easier for people.

Ah, no worries. Totally missed that, my bad.

I’d sticky your reply then, but it’s not a feature yet :P

Haha, too true! They can never just give us a useful tool without “Microsoft-izing” it first
