I uninstalled it after the whole security debacle discussion on GitHub. But the browser was quite enjoyable to use indeed.

Huh. Didn’t even know about this. Maybe I’ll browse their episode list to see if there are some episodes that are interesting.

Currently have a Volkswagen and in comparison to the Tesla app/car infotainment:

• VW infotainment is laggy
• VW can’t remote lock/unlock
• VW doesn’t have the ability to use the car cameras as dashcam
• VW app can’t connect to my car half the time because the 12v battery is too low
• VW car lock/unlock when you approach/leave doesn’t work half the time because either the 12v battery is empty ( because it’s been parked for 2 days ) or because the car is in some kind of deep sleep.
• sometimes the Spotify app just doesn’t work and I’d need to reboot the car.
• android car tries to steal control all the fucking time. Can’t use android car and use the Spotify app in the car. Nope, need to use the Spotify through android car. They want 15€ a month, but 90% of the features just don’t work once you hook the car up to android car.

I asked about it in a dealership ( the 12v battery ) and they say it’s probably not even related to the 12v battery. The app can’t connect to the car sometimes when it’s attached to a fucking charging point.

I’m not unhappy with the VW car, but the software compared to the Tesla is wildly underwhelming in that regard. Tesla I could just walk up to the car, get in, and leave. With the VW the car only starts waking up the moment you get in the car. You can stand next to it talking for 20mins and once you get in the infotainment still needs to fucking boot. It doesn’t take long, but it is annoying ( to me ).

Build quality, comfort, … the VW is miles ahead of tesla. But software-wise I feel they are still lagging behind. It also feels like the compute power in their id5 ( based on a rental I drove around for 3 months ) is some cheap tablet you get for free with a subscription to a magazine which is very disappointing considering the car costs 50k.

I agree that the Tesla software feels pretty mature and stable ( infotainment/app ).

Note: wouldn’t buy a Tesla either or trade in this VW for one.

I have no experience with other brands besides the VW and the Tesla.

I like the timer and the error icon on a fail. I can’t recall how often I think: damn this is taking too long. I should’ve timed the command

Why are people texting their physics teacher?

Good thing by then we’ll have oracle LLM. You may only use it for writing software. But we’ll definitely charge you for answering questions about life the universe and everything.

That’ll be all your profit this year minus the C-level bonuses please.
