  • Even the 11 clock position makes no sense, most amps will go from 8 to 4.

    Edit, I see what they did. In the picture they used 7 to 5 o’clock as min/max, (which is essentially the same as my 8-4). For some reason they adapted the o’clock numbers to the dial number which is not helpful.

    The o’clock numbers are meant to be a static reference point with 12 always at the top most position. You don’t bend the clock scale to match the knob min/max.





  • Not really the answer to your question, but maybe my recent experience will help.

    A lot of apps can export settings. Having recently joined the alternative android club, that was a definitely a time saver. On my last phone transfer I spent a few day when I had time reconfiguring every app, this time around all my main apps were pretty much fully setup in an hour.

    For an “app list”, I just took a screen shot of my home screen layout and app drawer. Had everything downloading in about 10 minutes. Home screen took a bit to put back together. If you can export the launcher config, maybe restoring it after you’ve downloaded everything will restore home screen layout too…no clue, I never tried that one.



  • Adding on to the Subaru info, on the new models the fuel economy is a much smaller white bar at the very top and can be changed to something else such as the much more useful “miles to empty”.

    Yes the giant touch panel thing sucks, but at least the important stuff like wipers and lights are still physical. Climate control UI is rough, but not the worst I’ve seen. The climate auto mode does a good job. Generally I only have to set the temp which is a physical up/down button and the car will adjust vents and fan speed accordingly (defrost buttons are physical too).









  • I wound not mind ads if they met the following conditions (in no particular order).

    • Actually vet them, no scams and viruses.
    • minimal obstruction to what I’m there for. A bilboard on the side of the highway is fine, but when they put in the road, there’s a problem.
    • Mix it up. YouTube playing the same ad 500 times in a row is obnoxious.
    • No yelling/loud shit. Play your ad, don’t blow out my speakers.
    • If on a silent website, video ads must be auto muted.
    • if I’m on data or a metered network, don’t auto play ads and keep the total data usage to a minimum.
    • Medical and health ads aren’t allowed. You can have PSAs about conditions and that there are treatment options, but it should your doctor researching and recommending specific medicine not a patient going in with some ad.
