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!

I can’t throw stones when I have a stack of 27 sitting next to me.

But I’d also add “Heard this is really good, too bad the author went crazy.”

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!”

Funnily enough, this was addressed directly in the comic with the Morlocks. The mutants unable to pass and were living in the sewers under New York.

X-Men #169 to their ultimate elimination in the Mutant Massacre in #210-214, X-Factor #9-11, and New Mutants #46. Also touched on Thor, Power Pack and Daredevil.

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.

I’d love a variation where a time traveller goes back to see Jesus and can’t find them. So they start asking around… “Jesus of Nazareth? No? Sermon on the mount? ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God’? Ring any bells? Come on! Raised Lazarus from the dead? Loaves and fishes?”

And in so doing, generates the Jesus myth…

The independent scene has gotten stronger lately, but it’s still a shadow of what it was back in the 80s. In fact, you could argue that Image is no longer technically indie, they’re right up there with Marvel and D.C.

But back in the 80s we had Eclipse, Pacific, First, Comico, Eagle, this was before even Dark Horse and Valiant came along.

2 hour video, is there a tl;dw?

Yup!

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.

Punk is a small part of the whole story…

Think of the early issues as using the same stable of actors in multiple projects.

Yeah, Maggie is a space mechanic and yeah, she’s also living in a run down part of LA with her crust punk friends.

It’s like watching Wes Anderson movies, yes, Bill Murray is a scuba diver here and a millionaire businessman there… Same actor, different stories.

The First Fifty set is worth owning.

Getting a million people to Washington D.C. is a tall order when places like CA, OR, WA are 3,000 miles away, plus people have to, you know, work and stuff.
