I had a car stereo like this and I soldered a 3.5mm jack to where the audio comes into the main board from the CD player. The pins were even labelled.

A CD had to be playing for the amplifier section to be activated, so I burned a CD of silence that I made in Audacity. 👍

I smell an HP.

It works great for my family! Only annoyance is having to run flatpak update often.

It hasn’t been updated in five years. I’m not sure of the current state of things in Android, but apps used to be able to access all kinds of personal data with zero permissions: listing all installed apps, access to sensors/accelerometers, battery level, when charger/headphones were last plugged or unplugged.

R6700 can run FreshTomato firmware.

Edit: If you do flash custom firmware, be sure to figure out exactly what model of R6700 you have; I think this is one of those in which v1/v2/v3 all have completely different hardware inside, and flashing the wrong one can brick it.

I’m guessing that PCs preloaded with Windows 12 will have locked bootloaders.

I pulled that out of my ass, but it seems to work. 😅

Low-key is kids’ slang for slightly or with subtlety. A bit like “on the down-low”.

I think they said if Putin was a god, he would be Loki. You know, he who stirs shit on an apocalyptic level.

It turns out that there isn’t one big break, there are many small cracks that have been patched. I was reading about 13% performance increase in benchmarks, which seems significant.

It is highly unlikely you will be able to hear a difference.

If you have golden ears or are just that worried, why not use a lossless codec like flac?

Correct. Like “plunge” without the “lu”.

Thanks! I had not heard about the MOS glue logic ICs being flaky before.
