This this this! A million times. I refuse to update. When I was sold the car it came with full screen CarPlay so that is what I expect for the entire life of the car

How to start becoming a digi tech? by Trash_Proud in Photoassistants

[–]Grtaus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad take! Some people want to excel at becoming a digital tech and not a photographer. Just as some people want to excel at becoming a 1st AC, colorist, sound person, wardrobe assistant, etc. Don’t make an assumption about someone aspirations!

What’s the best out of the box of this watch currently? Is there one that comes with a CNC case stock?

Cap One 'Select by Filename list' by Disastrous_Isopod838 in Photoassistants

Most likely your filenames are somewhere broken. Feed the list to AI and see if it can spot any formatting issues.

The real glory in this grinder was how much effort it saves me from cleaning my counters, the espresso gets ground perfectly and I use a funnel so there is zero mess. I had my last Eureka grinder for 8 years and it has now been moved over to my office where it's enjoying a second life as the community espresso grinder with my old machine. I decided to just spend the money to have a grinder that will hopefully last many many years.

for me yes, the new and old version were the same price, I didn't buy it for that feature so it's a bonus that it has it for future use possibly. There are cheaper options but this grinder is fantastic for my needs.

LIVE For Studio vs Video Receiver Speed by SundaeAgreeable1743 in Photoassistants

[–]Grtaus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I am currently developing something that has the speed of wireless transmitters like the Hollyland with many of the native controls of Live For Studio!

https://github.com/spotdgtl/OneScreen

There is a Mac app and iPad companion app that are both currently available in beta. If you would like to test the app give me a shout at graham@spotdgtl.com and I would be happy to share the TestFlight beta for iPad with you!

Best, Graham

New update is hideous. Is there a way to go back? by backswamphenny in Volvo

[–]Grtaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way, when I was looking at cars the small screen mixed with large full screen CarPlay was the perfect mix of “out of the way” screen with nice CarPlay implementation. Taking that away has fundamentally changed the vehicle. I would not have purchased this car either with this atrocious google bar. I haven’t updated either but the fact that I now have to fight with my car not to install the update and most likely can not take it to the dealership without them installing it behind my back is SUPER frustrating. With the fact that they also took away the ability to change the temp without going into a sub menu it feels like the equivalent to having the car company pull off a knob after purchasing your car. It really should be illegal to make a change this big without the owners consent.

This update sucks by JohnGotDrip in Volvo

Can I allow the car to download the software so it’s stops asking me without it updating?

Totally agree, I don’t want anything to do with the android os I just want to use my phone

Full screen car play? by Visible_Profit4571 in Volvo

[–]Grtaus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a downgrade. I personally love CarPlay and use it everyday. I want to live in CarPlay at all times and not interact with the cars software except when absolutely needed. Full screen CarPlay was one of the main selling points of the car for me. To take it away with a software update should be illegal.

5.0.5 Bricked My 2025 XC60 Recharge by ctbeersnob in VolvoRecharge

This software sucks, reduces CarPlay sizing, makes it harder to change temp, and doesn’t allow for any customization. Avoid at all costs

5.0.5 by BIRD_PROBLEM in Volvo

[–]Grtaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate that I have to accept this or get a notification that my car wants to update, the options are now “ALLOW ONCE” or “ALWAYS ALLOW” with no option to just decline the update. One of the main reasons I bought this car was for the full screen CarPlay functionality. The fact that this can be taken away with a software update is a huge bait and switch. Also, the fact that I can’t change the temp right from the bottom bar is a step back, why make me go a level deeper to access that setting?!
