Yes was all Nexus Phones up to buying the HTC ONE M8.. the first 10 minutes with Sense made me want to get a sack of doorknobs and book a flight to Their Engineering headquarters.
Is that why my nest thermostat is so bad at detecting if we are home that I returned it? Please use a source other than the manufacturer because your link is full of marketing fluff.
Reality is that Android is fragmented to hell and back. Even now a great example. The HTC ONE M8 HTC's Flagship has a very shitty Android that most people are flashing the phone back to the google Play edition to regain functionality of Android.
Unless Google tells all phone makers "FUCK YOU" and demands they can not call it android in any way if they modify it in any way like how apple tells AT&T and Verizon that they can not put their bloated garbage all over the phone... Then it will have crap integration.
My AT&T M8 came with so much AT&T garbage baked into the rom that I was ready to smash the phone after 48 hours. Then the HTC Sense crap coupled with the AT&T crap pushed me to the point that I risked bricking the phone and went to Cyanogenmod dailies until someone released a GPE recovery image.
you do NOT need to have a car specific OS, just fucking bring back "car mode" to Android. Android as it is works fantastic as a Infotainment OS once you disable the stupid screen timeout and add circuitry to wake/sleep based on car ignition status.
Dave from the NSA here, can you please move the change from the pocket with your cellphone to the other pocket? It's getting hard to hear what you are saying when you walk.
Also please go stand over next to that tall brunette to your left, her cellphone sucks and we cant get a good recording of her discussion about what her boyfriend did to her last night.
Odd, I work in the real home automation market and none of the Crestron, Control4, AMX or Vantage stuff is going that route. Only the very very low end self install stuff is "cloud based".
Maybe if you bought real home automation gear you would find that what you don't like is not in the real stuff, it is only present in the low end toy stuff.
listen, Life is NOT a movie, a hacker cant reconfigure the temperature sensor into a "FLIR heat sensor" to give them ANY information other than how hot it is on the ceiling in the hallway where you mounted it. That Passive IR sensor cant be magically turned into an HD IR camera, it's a single specific function sensor that can detect if smoke has entered the chamber, you cant turn it into a spy camera. Then you have a CO sensor that is specifically designed for it's task, again cant be reconfigured as a direction Co2 and other gas sensors to detect if you have been smoking crack in the bathroom again.
the ONLY data that someone can glean from this is local mounted temperature, alarm state and CO2 levels. Nothing else. even if you left for a 4 week vacation in your Paris apartment you cant even hope to get data if the house is unoccupied unless you set the thermostat to very low and it was the dead of winter.
Please, if you write an article, Know something about the subject, spend DAYS researching it before you publish the information. This is why "bloggers" have zero respect and are mostly ridiculed.
WE already have this problem. Many GM car failures are based on low end China parts. Bad castings on control arms, bad machning on wheel bearings, etc... It will the the same failure rate as GM DELCO genuine parts.
I know guys that look for remanufacturered older parts that fit before the real OEM replacements because the metal castings are Superior from anything 10+ years old compared to now. China foundrys are cranking out really low quality castings and GM does not care, they just hope they dont fail in 5 years.
we do it all the time on the modern boxes, guide data is back in minutes. Have not had any issues like that for the past 4 years, although we have only done about 160 installs like that in the past 4 years so we might not be seeing boxes that still use the really slow data stream for guide data. We stick to larger cities with a full digital roll-out instead of the old analog systems that used the very slow data side channel for guide data.
Plop a "kill-a-watt" on your cable box and turn it on, note the power used. now hit the "off" button the remote. See how the power use did not drop. That is because "OFF" is simply blanking the screen and turning off the front led's and display.
It's why most pro AV installs will put the cable box if it's not a DVR type, on a power sequencer that the control processor will turn on and off with the system. The drawback is some of the newer cable boxes take forever to boot after power is restored.
Poor people are fact because they CANT eat properly. I suggest you look at the price of real unprocessed meat and veggies as well as hole grain breads.
Poor people buy the $1.25 garbage white bread instead of the $3.00 a loaf whole grain. They buy Ramen, that is utter crap for nutrition. They buy prepackaged garbage because it's cheaper, a LOT cheaper. They buy the lowest grade of meat, typically hamburger in a tube that is 50% fat, hooves and tripe.
Veggies are expensive, $1.00 iceberg lettuce that is complete crap instead of the $4.00 Romaine lettuce.
DOUBLE the poor persons food budget and they can start to eat better. Also put a big ass tax on Fast food places that sell utter crap like McDonalds and Taco Bell. They prey on the poor with their $1.00 menu.
OLD trees? none. Michigan was literally stripped back in the 1600-1800's of all trees, I think up near Lake superior there is a park that has one of the trees that are older than 300 years old left standing. Idiot teenagers carve their names into it's bark.
Mostly because GM, Ford, and Chrysler are ran by some of the dumbest people on the planet. Which means we will get a standard that the European and Asian cars use along with tesla, and then something completely different from Ford, GM and Chrysler. Causing an even larger fall of domestic car buying with the executives having press conferences asking, "WE have no idea why people are not buying our cars"
Probably that work has crap monitors. It was very common here at the office until we replaced everyone's monitor with a 2K resolution 24" monitor. The email printing stopped overnight.
If your employer was not a bunch of cheap fools and bought quality IT equipment for people to use, they would not have to resort to printing hings they cant read well on a screen.
WE have a 10,000 acre tree farm around here and it is full of animals. In fact 90% of Michigan is a Tree farm as it was stripped of trees 200-300 years ago and was replanted, and then harvested, and replanted. huge swaths of the state are perfectly planted rows of pine trees and there is gobs of animals and bugs in them. So many that Freaking bears are now a common sight, and I saw wild coyotes for the first time in my life.

Yet older BMW cars can not control a modern Iphone.
My wife's 525 has the old 30 pin and even with the legit apple adapter, it will not control the music app in the iphone.
Just STOP.

And the gaudiest paint possible done by the cheapest body shop guy they can find.
That is exactly what GM executives have said for the past 10 years about the ignition switches.
They are hiring and look for someone just like you.

https://www.sparkfun.com/news/... 6 seconds on google turned this up. It even has links to the sensors data sheets.

The internet. feel free to peruse all the GM forums.
Agreed, Stop Buying GM.
Real Americans buy American made cars.... .Like Honda.

You do know the hard packets in the USA are nothing at all like what is sold in Asia at resturants? right?

We had a bunch of LG TV's arrive pre filled with cockroaches. It seems that China is also shipping free pets with many electronic products.
Actually you are off by a bit. HP motherboards are around the 15-20 euro mark. They use the absolute lowest quality parts they can get their hands on.
"Obviously the price is that you absolutely have to rewrite the software bottom-up, otherwise all that extra performance potential gets lost."
Which is a GOOD THING (tm). The current state of software quality is horrid, anything to force a rewrite will be a very good thing.
