Yeah I've tried that search multiple times myself and end up back on Google for driving, it's just superior

My car has Bluetooth only. I wanted Android Auto because it was awesome on my phone, so I got an Android Auto tablet off Ali Express.

It's not arrived yet, I'm expecting it after the weekend, but I can't wait to have that UI back, that ease of use while driving.

It can connect to my Car by Aux or FM radio so can be wireless. I'll be changing to connecting to it instead of my car over Bluetooth. Then I'll be able to use the UI or Voice to control my phone while it's still in my pocket.

I hope it turns out as well as it is in my mind. For £30 it's worth a go

Just Google "Booting a pi from an SSD" and follow the steps

[–] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I can't remember the steps (they were simple though) but when my Home Assistant raspi SD card died, I bought a 128gb SSD from AliExpress and a usb-sata cable.

I then did something to the pi that meant it can boot from the SSD, and flashed the SSD using Balenetcher or RUFUS or whatever (same program I was using to flash my SD cards basically).

Then it was just a case of plugging in and turning it on.

Runs exactly the same as with an SD card with less dying because SD cards aren't meant for a lot of read/write but SSDs do.

Even if you manage to stop the WiFi hack he can still get in to your network through the ethernet ports. He could train an army of ants to pull a wire through a small hole in your wall and attach it to your router.

Just in case, fill all your unused ports with yoghurt. This will drown the ants

In a community without a lot of content, complaining about added content is a bit rich, but some people are just dicks, it's a fact of life.

We just take a tote bag full. If anyone says anything they have just lost our custom. Can't stop people smuggling snacks when nobody goes

I bought an E off eBay from a charity shop and mine did the same thing. The WiFi chip burns out over time and they dgaf.

My solution was to just buy another satellite or whatever you wanna call it second hand off eBay. Gambled that the WiFi chip still worked and yeah, paired it and going again

Hey original commenter here, just read your username and if Brad is short for Bradford I'm just over the hill from you

As a shop floor guy I identify with what you're saying and if you're not in one get in a Union.

But those guys do all the paperwork and business shit. If they don't do it right then it can blow holes in the business, which pays your wages.

For example, this week has been a shit show at work because the IT crisis happened. This has meant parts that we need haven't arrived, and lines have shut down.

Management have had their heads up their arse trying to keep shit running, sending folk home on holidays, hell lads are taking time off unpaid rather than bum around doing "preventative maintenance"

Someone has gotta make sure all that shit works out and it ain't me. I've just got to get the parts out when they're there.

All I'm saying is that in a good company there's less "Us and Them" everyone has a role that's recognised, and individuals are judged on their work rather than their position. You can have good and bad CEOs and Forklift Drivers
