I can only speak to my own experiences but plenty of Lowes have cameras pointing at or away from their parking lots around my area. Same with HD.

It was a short trip back home - I couldn’t get my CarPlay to recognize anything resembling a “stop navigation” button.

Just tried it on mine - worked fine. I can’t see a way to end the trip via CarPlay though.

According to Musk, wasn’t FSD just around the corner? Multiple times?

I don’t trust a word that guy says.

I’m not an OSRS player but an RS3 player - they’re generally hitting it out of the park on this side of the fence as well.

Really like the idea of RFID cards - I was brainstorming something like that years ago for the kid, but never chased it down.

(Un??)fortunately, I am usually the one slinging CDs for people to listen to, people just like being able to offload that and listen to curated music, vs. "throw on spotify whatever" and having it just _play_.

Definitely did it sequentially with a single CD drive. I'm sitting on maybe 100 albums, max. It takes ~15min per album to process, which pulls in song metadata, lyrics (synced, if possible), album art, etc.

Local used CD store sells albums for 7USD - could even get two a month and put money away on months you don’t want to buy anything.

Yep - I’ve noticed I’ve stopped “having music playing” and I’ve more started “listening to the music” if that makes sense.

Also just fun to be a plain-old jockey when you have company over, rather than just let “Appotifydal Top 3”

Really wasn’t a knock on NB - don’t worry hehe. I’m at least glad it gave me what I expected. I listen to a good amount of stuff like Aesop Rock and you tend to just get a bunch of his own stuff back, generally.

Took a quick look at Noiseblend, seems nice! Will play around a bit more with it when I’m actually at a computer, but I find that I end up getting into a downward spiral of recommendations (not from yours - just in general) that reinforces what I listen to, versus expanding based on what I listen to.

I listen to a good amount of underground hip hop/backpack rap kind of stuff and I find that so many recommendation systems just recommend what I already listen to.

Oddly enough, I randomly asked Claude one day and got three novel album recommendations that no other service really gave me :shrug:
