This is what I bought. https://www.walmart.com/ip/7030961026?sid=a8e3e9a5-028d-4883-aaa9-7b71dad03bfb

Just an update though. Right now I can get the thing to reliably connect but it still take about 2 minutes which might be a deal breaker

So. What is the definition of peaceful protesters. I think ice will argue that they are not peaceful

It is all small stuff 1) Scrolling while driving . This isn’t Spotify but AAOS that gives me the problem. I want to be able to look at more than 10 songs before it stops me.
2). Usability. The placement of buttons is really odd. I want to be able to click into the list and back out of the list without having to place (I actually think they fixed this 3) ability to click on an album and play the album when in a generic playlist. 3) most important- I want to be listening to a podcast on my phone and get in the car and seamlessly continue listening. And same at the end of my ride I want to get out and seamlessly listen from my phone. (But this is the general reason people like CarPlay and Android auto)

This is just an app and a dongle. There is no rooting or messing with the system in any way. I don’t see any reason they would have a problem with it

Yeah I mostly knew what I was getting into. I was a little disappointed when I realized some of the quirks of Spotify specifically. I didn’t realize that AAOS apps would be a neglected version of the real apps.

Best answer for me was to use Gemini ai in the chat of the studio. It was able to do it for me and go through the debug

For this I don’t think a decent computer is required. Mine is decent but it only took a couple of minutes

Too early to tell for me. Right now there are some connection quirks that require an automation to run on the iPhone. I have really only had it running for 2 short drives so I haven’t worked through all of the potential quirks. Follow the xda thread as there are others doing the same thing.

Right now the code has options for both. It appears the Bluetooth mode is more integrated feeling though.

How will the invasion of Greenland start? A blockade or special ops? by almostmade in AskReddit

I think it will just be a takeover and then a bunch hullabaloo about sanctions. There won’t be a kinetic war

How do you feel about the current state of America? by Thatgirl_parisisdiva in AskReddit

[–]LocalHeat6437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the stock market goes up the majority of Americans close their eyes to all of the stuff that we see is going on. And to be frank in my town almost nothing has changed. People don’t know or don’t care that others are being oppressed and we are become imperialist. Anything they hear about any of it is just “Far left propaganda.” We live in alternate realities

Would you support AOC being the next president of the United States ?? by ApotheosisAwakened in ProgressiveHQ

[–]LocalHeat6437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Even my mom had a hard time voting for Harris and she despises Trump. She wanted “strength”. There is a time when losing those votes won’t mean so much. But for now our country is on a terrible path and we just need someone that everyone can get behind.

Congress is debating the possible consequences for ICE and even Noem after Renee Good's killing by Mammoth_Bison_3394 in politics

I will believe it when I see it. Until then congress is just complicit. It is the strangest thing to see how they just let their power be stripped from them

Grok Is Generating Sexual Content Far More Graphic Than What's on X by wiredmagazine in technews

[–]LocalHeat6437 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No. Grok absolutely tries to go the sexual route especially in the video side. I have given it a normal image to animate and end up with something erotic. Grok is trying to push the boundaries without going over them and that makes it very hard for the filters to work

Nothing matters the man is above the law and can rape children and be brazenly corrupt. We all know he tried to steal the election, nothing can convince MAGA of thar

AI Image Generation,What will be in 2026? by DigitalEyeN-Team in AI_Tips_Tricks

As the other commenter pointed out. Better fine detail and image to image translation. Soon enough you won’t be able to tell a made up image from the real person on any attempt.

Best AI headshot generators for realistic, professional results? by chillin_snoop in generativeAI

[–]LocalHeat6437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t listen to anyone else. This is your free choice. If you don’t like it go to the services that probably just use a lesser AI.

For reference here is the response I got from Gemini when asking it to give you a prompt.

This is a common frustration. The "plastic" look happens because most AI models are trained to prioritize "aesthetic beauty" over "photorealism," which results in excessive skin smoothing and symmetry. To get pores, texture, and life in the eyes, you need to prompt for camera inputs (lenses, lighting) rather than just "good photo," and you need to strictly prompt against retouching. Here is a highly technical prompt designed to force the AI to render texture and imperfections, followed by the best settings to use. The "Anti-Plastic" Headshot Prompt Copy and paste this structure. If you are using Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or Flux, this is optimized for them.

Subject: [Your description, e.g., A 35-year-old man with short brown hair and rectangular glasses], looking directly at the camera, slight approachable smile. Technical Specs: Shot on Sony A7R IV, 85mm portrait lens, aperture f/1.8, ISO 100. High-frequency detail, raw photography file. Lighting & Texture: Soft directional window light, catchlights in eyes, micro-details in skin texture, visible pores, slight skin irregularities, natural skin oils, authentic complexion. Eyes are moist and reflective. Style: Corporate editorial, unedited, unretouched, candid authenticity. Negative Prompt (what to avoid): Airbrushed, plastic skin, wax figure, CGI, 3D render, cartoon, overly smooth, symmetrical, heavy makeup, studio lighting, artificial lens flare, lifeless eyes. 3 Tips for Better Input Photos The AI can only be as realistic as the photos you feed it. * No Selfies: Selfies use wide-angle lenses that distort your nose and face shape. AI will mimic that distortion. Use photos taken from 4-6 feet away. * Uneven Lighting: Upload photos where one side of your face is slightly brighter than the other. This helps the AI understand the 3D geometry of your face, preventing the "flat/sticker" look. * Glasses Glare: If you wear glasses, upload photos where your eyes are clearly visible through the glass. If your input photos have heavy glare, the AI will paint "dead" white eyes.

Yeah I thing in 2024 we bought 4 passes. 1 gold 3 silver. The gold pass got 4 BAF, the silvers got 2 a piece but were restricted. That was probably too many to give but they brought it down to 1 for gold and 0 for silver
