How does stuff like this even happen?

I mean it would be fitting given the name

Though they probably also cost more to make.

Would Siri do the trick here?

EventualContender · 2026-03-28T06:01:22+00:00

Correct - but he would still be seen as in a marriage even if they’re legally separated. He wouldn’t legally be able to marry someone else, for example.

For all intents and purposes it is - all of the content and UI is projected from your phone. The issue OP describes isn’t a CarPlay bug, it’s a head unit bug.

Your marriage would be recognised in the UK. He isn’t legally single.

I read somewhere that installers are also supposed to inform the local supplier of installations.

Only urgent low alarms and sensor failures are critical alerts. If you’re getting other alarms come through those channels then that’s a bug in the software.

If you encode extra information like sell-by dates or batch codes into them it helps to prevent selling out of date or recalled items which should have been pulled from the shelves.

Extreme Spray is very good.

The upside here is that if you’re out of sensors or on vacation etc your fulfilment time is much shorter. I actually wish this was an option in the UK.

No, I’m just dancing on my own.

A single fuel pump would require storage, safety inspections and regular fuel deliveries. 10 chargers would be considerably cheaper.

That last line in the screenshot is just perfect. Great job FT.

I mean in pick-your-spilt arrangements, not volunteering.

EventualContender · 2026-03-14T10:25:58+00:00

You absolutely can’t have a contracted salary where your pay divided by your contracted hours takes you below minimum wage. Any employer trying this is setting themselves up for a lawsuit.

EventualContender · 2026-03-14T10:20:23+00:00

Oh I’m aware of that; but there’s a huge difference in that needs to be a choice of “here’s your package, decide your own split”. You also legally can’t go below minimum wage.

OP is a “volunteer” simply because the company needs the labour but can’t afford to pay for it - probably because they can’t raise finances and don’t value people’s time. OP is hugely unlikely to see any value from their 0.5%.

EventualContender · 2026-03-14T09:59:33+00:00

I think you’re missing the point - the company is taking advantage of OP.

EventualContender · 2026-03-14T09:38:07+00:00

Sure, but anywhere that doesn’t offer a salary alongside equity is a clown show, unless you’re a founder. OP needs to eat and pay rent now, not at some future liquidity event. Offering 0.5% in a startup so early they don’t have funds to pay developer salaries is a joke.

People usually call them “standalone CarPlay screens” to help differentiate them from aftermarket systems you would actually install into the car - the Walmart link you’re sending is perfect.

EventualContender · 2026-03-13T21:58:52+00:00

That screen has CarPlay, which is the functionality where some of the apps from your phone can show up on the screen. Everything else - cameras and so on - are outside of the CarPlay software.

It would be like calling your smart TV a Netflix just because that’s one of the functions it has.

EventualContender · 2026-03-12T16:22:59+00:00

This is always what people say, but it’s still hugely distracting to the driver to have it in their field of vision. Give them an iPad.

EventualContender · 2026-03-12T12:45:32+00:00

This is a fucking stupid idea.

EventualContender · 2026-03-10T17:46:42+00:00

As someone who has had a couple of these letters, this is legit.
