Why Does Every Car Infotainment System Look So Crappy? User interface design is hard, but we’ve been getting better at it over the years to the point where even a thermostat is easy to use. Automakers, however, seem to have their heads in the sand, taking their design inspiration for their infotainment consoles from old Winamp skins instead of any type of modern interface. It's been a good 1. Does Just Hook Up Work ScamHow many outlets per Hook? While we will never limit how many outlets you can add to a Hook Hub, there is a practical limit of 12-15 outlets beyond which remotes may. How to Hook Up a DVD Player. DVDs are ubiquitous in the entertainment world today, and DVD players can be purchased for less than the price of a nice dinner. Most automakers have their own brand of infotainment systems and their bad design is more than skin deep. For example, Audi has MMI, an insane system that uses dials. Good Will Hunting (1997) Quotes on IMDb: Memorable quotes and exchanges from movies, TV series and more. I have been with a man for 6 years now and he says he loves me in the morning and when going to bed we don’t have sex (he is not cheating) (I am not denying him or. ![]() Winamp, our go- to desktop media player, is shutting down on. Pair that up with a number of rentals over the years and I’ve seen about every car infotainment system around. With a couple very rare exceptions, they’re universally horrible and feel like they’re designed by someone who hasn’t used a computer since 2. Most automakers have their own brand of infotainment systems and their bad design is more than skin deep. For example, Audi has MMI, an insane system that uses dials for menu navigation instead of a touchscreen unless you pay to upgrade it. Audi isn’t the only one to eschew modern innovation either, BMW’s i. Drive and Mercedes’s Comand both rely on dials for input as well. For years, Lexus has relied on what was basically a mouse for navigation which is as insanely stupid and challenging to use in real life as it sounds. Most carmakers at least use touch screens, though their interfaces are cluttered and ugly. Ford has SYNC, Nissan has Connect, Toyota has Entune, Kia has UVO, Subaru has STARLINK, and so on and so on. As an example, here’s Entune one of the worst options, which looks more at home on a laptop running Windows ME than it does in a brand new car: Or look at this insane mess of nonsense, from Cadillac’s CUE: On most of these infotainment systems, the menus seem devoid of logic, settings you need to access frequently are often buried beneath several submenus, and when there is a touch screen, they seem sluggish and clunky. There is a 1. 00% you will need to look in the manual to change a very basic setting. What operating systems does Subversion run on? Subversion is written in ANSI C and uses APR, the Apache. Even something simple, like icon design, is the worst. The icons on Chevy’s My. Link look like they were pulled from a cheap clipart collection: On most of infotainment systems you’ll find horrible icons that are probably included free with MS Word, weird fonts that don’t suit the screen’s size, and app integration for services that I’m pretty sure nobody actually uses. Like, who goes to movietickets. I use whatever Aha radio is? After sitting in a bunch of cars, I was actually longing for classic Winamp. Heck, cram this into a Toyota’s center console and I’ll buy it today: I’m not going to even touch on how bad the navigation systems included with these things are, but rest assured, they’re as horrible as you remember. For whatever reason, classic car GPS systems have been behind smartphone options for a long time, and even if it didn’t take 3. It’s not all bad news, of course. Tesla at least seems to be on the right track, though the 1. I imagine it’s a huge distraction. ![]() Not that I’d know, since I can’t even afford to sit in a Tesla let alone drive one. Volvo also seems on the right track with Sensus, which for some oddball reason is a vertical screen instead of horizontal, but is otherwise the minimally designed interface that you’d want in a four ton moving vehicle. It’s easy to use, you can customize it to a small extent, and it’s generally inoffensive. It’s also brand spanking new though, and the previous Volvo systems weren’t much to look at. Then there’s Apple Car. Play and Android Auto, which feel like what happens when the carmakers give up on their own systems and just let someone else make it. Both options leverage the power of the phone you already use for music and navigation to power the car’s infotainment options as well. This comes with its own set of pros and cons. Android Auto and Car. Play are pretty much universally improvements to automaker’s awful first- party infotainment options, but they still have some issues. Namely, apps have to actually support the two services, which means that you can’t always access every app. For example, with Car. Play, you’re locked into mostly first- party Apple apps, like Apple Maps. For i. OS users, this is a huge downside, because even though Apple Maps has improved over the years, it’s still not as good as Google Maps or Waze. Thankfully, you’re not locked into Apple Music or Apple Podcasts at least, as Spotify, Pandora, Pocket Casts, Overcast, and others support Car. Play. Android Auto is a little better, but still pretty limited in the third- party options you have. With either option, there’s a good chance at least one of the apps you use for audio won’t work with it. One minor quibble with both is that you’ll still need to actually use your car’s shitty infotainment system occasionally, as neither Car. Play nor Android Auto can handle any car- wide settings changes. Still, both are an improvement, and if nothing else is at least a sign that automakers have given up entirely on trying to force their awfully designed systems down our throats. But still, not everyone has an i. Phone or Android device, and not everyone wants to link up their phone to their car stereo in the first place. No matter what, these car infotainment systems and their stupid names will be a part of lives for years to come, so it’d be nice if they could at least look like they were designed in the last decade. We don’t need much here! Just don’t nest menus deep inside other submenus, hand over your icon design to an actual designer instead of snagging some icon from Shutterstock, use large buttons that are easy to tap while driving, and spend a few extra bucks to give the whole thing a modern sheen so it doesn’t look straight out of 1. Look, I know this is hard and expensive to do. I know that cars often only have ancient hardware in them that can’t run much more than a text interface. I know this is near the bottom of the list of priorities in cars, but maybe it’s time to move it up a bit. Heck, you could even cut off access to any setting that could get me killed if I adjusted it wrong, then open up the entertainment portion Linux- style so I can install whatever I want on there. If nothing else, it’d be nice to at least have OS upgrade option so that I could at least have hope of change. Unanswered Questions on Sandy Hook's 3rd Anniversary. By Makia Freeman. As the Sandy Hook 3rd anniversary rolls around this December 1. December 1. 4th, 2. When I say horrific, I am not referring to what you may think was the horrific aspect of the event: the gunning down of 2. That is unquestionably horrific, but to date there has hardly been enough evidence to prove beyond all doubt that actual people were gunned down. Sandy Hook has become colloquially known as the Sandy Hook Hoax or Sandy Hoax, the first false flag in recent history to be exposed as an entirely fabricated event, replete with a fake setting (a fake school) and fake victims. It marks the first in a series of false flag hoaxes where fake victims and fake victims’ families (crisis actors) have been used. Since the majority of people still cannot fathom that Sandy Hook was a staged event, the template of using crisis actors has been used again and again (e. Now that we are passing the Sandy Hook 3rd anniversary, it’s time to turn back the clock and re- examine some unanswered questions pertaining to the event. By the way, if you think Sandy Hook no longer matters, ask yourself why Amazon (on behalf of the US Government) felt so scared it had to engage in censorship by trying to ban Jim Fetzer’s book Nobody Died at Sandy Hook (available for free here). Sandy Hook is still very relevant, because it was a scam of massive proportions. Take a look how many false flag mass shootings are still being carried out monthly and even weekly (e. Paris, San Bernardino) to terrorize the public, push gun control and achieve other political and geopolitical aims. Sandy Hook: 3. 3 Unanswered Questions. There are still some who cannot bring themselves to believe that criminal elements within the US Government could pull off a false flag hoax like this. Yet, it must be remembered that in this day and age it is all too easy to fake photographic and video evidence. Photoshop and other software programs allow the user to construct any kind of photo they want. If you want to know some of the truth about what really happened at Sandy Hook, 2 of the best documentaries (out of many) that expose the absurdity of the official narrative and provide alternative theories are We Need to Talk about Sandy Hook (various independent media analysts) and Unraveling Sandy Hook in 2, 3, 4 and 5 Dimensions (Sofia Smallstorm). Here is a list of 3. Sandy Hook: Sandy Hook: Foreknowledge and Preparation. Why was a Facebook webpage for the alleged dead teacher Victoria Soto of Sandy Hook Elementary School posted before the event occurred? Why was the United Way charity webpage for Sandy Hook posted before the event occurred? Google caught evidence of foreknowledge: this United Way charity website page was launched on Dec. Sandy Hook actually occurred! How did the Arlington Red Devils website post the book on Talking With Children/Students About the Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting on 1. If this were some kind of technical glitch, then how did Google’s bots manage to record a cached page for 1. Sandy Hook shooting happened? How did John Trentacosta (whose house was next to the Lanzas with a lot of activity occurring there at the time), who was CEO of the local Newton bank, start a victims’ fund on the same day so quickly after the event, after receiving in his words “countless requests” to do so? Is it just a coincidence that Trentacosta was also a member of a new council of the New York Federal Reserve, the Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council? According to various researchers, why was the Newtown community seeded with new families in the years leading up to the event? According to Wolfgang Halbig, why were 1. Sandy Hook: Media Switching Stories. Why did the media keep switching its narrative as the story unfolded regarding the actual weapon used? Finally they settled upon a rifle. But how could a rifle kill 2. Sandy Hook: Inconsistencies with Witness Stories. Why did known actor and Sandy Hook witness Gene Rosen keep changing his story about how he encountered the 6 kids who allegedly came to him? In different interviews he variously claims he found the kids just after feeding his cats in the loft, just after going to breakfast and just after coming home from breakfast. His testimony completely conflicts with that of the school bus driver and the official report. There is also video of him near the fire house walking around slowly, plus a video of him rehearsing his lines with the cameraman . How was a skinny 1. Why was there no evidence of blood? A total of 2. 6 fatalities (children and adult) would produce at least at a conservative estimate 2. Thus would require a concerted blood cleanup (blood is considered a biohazard in this type of situation), yet when Sofia Smallstorm asked who did the cleanup, all the departments were ignorant of it and even claimed that no one did the cleanup. Where are the alleged 6. Sandy Hook Elementary School? Why is there absolutely no photo or video evidence of any dead bodies? Why did coroner Wayne Carver say the following? Uh, we did not bring the bodies and the families into contact. We took pictures of them, uhm, of their facial features. We have, uh, uh—it’s easier on the families when you do that. Un, there is, uh, a time and place for the up close and personal in the grieving process, but to accomplish this we thought it would be best to do it this way and, uh, you can sort of, uh . According to Wolfgang Halbig, why do the records show no social security numbers for the dead students? According to Wolfgang Halbig, why do the records show no report of actual shots fired? According to Wolfgang Halbig, why does the Sandy Hook shooting crime not exist on the FBI 2. According to Wolfgang Halbig, why does the tax accessor’s website shows the victims’ families got free houses on Christmas day when all Government offices are closed? Why were all the ambulances parked at the fire house away from the crime scene (except one on Dickinson Dr. Why were so few EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) allowed in the school? Sandy Hook: Faked Photos and Evidence of a Drill. Why does the iconic image of the teacher leading kids out of school contain evidence of Photoshop doctoring and fakery? The iconic image of Sandy Hook – the evacuation – shows numerous signs of fakery, from Photoshop doctoring to EXIF data. Why does the Sandy Hook Timeline of Evacuation not match the video evidence from the trooper’s car stationed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School car park? Why was there a big electronic sign erected at the entrance to the Sandy Hook Elementary school stating “EVERYONE MUST CHECK IN” if the event were real and not a drill? Why was there an active shooter drill at around the same place and the same time as the Sandy Hook event? Every recent false flag since at least 9/1. Why are people walking around the Sandy Hook fire house in circles like a movie set? Why was there such a lack of urgency in the emergency personnel who were responding for many hours after 1. If Sandy Hook Elementary School was a legitimate and operational school at the time of the event, why is there evidence that the school shut in 2. Hurricanes Irene and Sandy? We know FEMA and the US Federal Government supplied money to Newtown to revitalize it. Why does the local business Apex Glass claim they were using the school premises for their glass business (apologies but the interview revealing this information has been taken down by You. Tube . Why were the entire school grounds of what we were told was “Sandy Hook Elementary School” demolished and rebuilt? Does this remind you of how the metal scraps from 9/1. China before they could be examined for evidence? Why did Town Clerk Debbie Aurelia and Connecticut State Attorney Kevin Kane refuse to release the death certificates and the names of the “victims”? Why did Connecticut officials conspire to pass an unprecedented bill banning FOIA requests and access to death certificates and other information, normally part of the public record as a matter of course for centuries? Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy signed the bill on June 5th, 2. Why were there so many black and silver (Government- type) cars around the school and fire house in place before the event? According to Sofia Smallstorm, why were the exact number (2. Christmas trees for the memorial already sitting outside the fire house before the event occurred? Why do so many of the victims’ family members appear to be acting, smirking, giggling, snickering and outright laughing after the event, such as Robbie Parker? Sandy Hook: Strange Comments by Officials. How does one explain the highly strange behavior of Wayne Carver, the chief medical examiner and coroner? Why did Carver say that “You can control a situation depending on your photographer, and I have very good photographers”? Why did Carver say that “I hope the people of Newtown don’t have it crash on their heads later”? Why did Lieutenant Paul Vance threaten to prosecute as a crime anyone who reported information that contradicted the official narrative? Why did the Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy say that “The Lieutenant Governor and I have been spoken to in an attempt that we might be prepared for something like this playing itself out in our state”? Even Sandy Hook is infected with one eye Illuminati- Masonic symbolism. Just a coincidence? Sandy Hook: Aftermath. Why did no one sue the school or the estate of Nancy Lanza? How is it that no parent wanted to see the dead bodies of their children in the school? Why were all the funerals conducted with closed caskets? Conclusion: Sandy Hook – The Template for the False Flag Hoax. Sandy Hook smells rotten, and just as 9/1. Sandy Hook to become the template for the false flag hoax. Let us always remember what happened and continue to investigate it, so that future false flag events, and false flag hoax events, can be quickly spotted.*****Want the latest commentary and analysis on Conspiracy, Natural Health, Sovereignty, Consciousness and more?
