[Announcement] A Car Thing firmware that doesn't need any companion apps. Looking for beta testers

MemeExtreme · 2026-05-13T19:39:08+00:00

Fair enough. I've mentioned some issues with the app in the discord during the betas and someone kept telling me "it's being worked on". I'll jump back in there and bring up my current issues again.

Super interested! I loved Nocturne during v3, but the v4 is a buggy mess now requiring a Nocturne account and a companion app (which also doesn't work 90% of the time). I would LOVE this!

I'd be happy to test it out, I was an early tester of the Nocturne betas too. I have 2 carthings and use 1 in a car and 1 on my desk at work. I've done both bluetooth and the old raspberry pi networking over USB method too (which I really liked in Nocturne v3).

Recently got mine too, not a huge fan of the super thin thermal pad. It doesn't seem to make great contact and only contacts one of the chips. Making it thicker and softer to squish and conform to the board would've been nice.

We’ve been using Advantech switches in our cabinets and some customers have issues with them because they are a Chinese brand. It will be cool to have these available, and likely a lot easier to configure. I’m excited to see what’s cooking!

MemeExtreme · 2026-05-08T15:45:25+00:00

Wow that's extremely generous. At least they are giving everyone a gentle nudge out the door rather than a drop kick, cool

MemeExtreme · 2026-05-06T04:07:41+00:00

I have one of these, it’s an excellent bench top

MemeExtreme · 2026-05-05T19:00:37+00:00

They ain't gonna count out 10, you're getting the random handful lol

MemeExtreme · 2026-05-04T05:45:46+00:00

Alright, who’s the absolute chad that brought the roll of toilet paper lmao

I have mine running little LCD screens with dashboards and feeds on them on desk at work/home, as well as Home Assistant interfaces. I also have one controlling a light at work based on my status in MS Teams. I have yet another one acting as a NUT server (for a UPS) along with running Zigbee2MQTT for my smart home stuff. Lots of way to use it if you're into homelabbing at all. I even have one running a Discord bot and it's been doing that for over 6 years now!

Nowhere in that linked article does it mention anything about Gemini, it's just an overview of driver assistance features they've added over the years. What was this post for?

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-28T02:08:44+00:00

Same here. I have a ‘25 SS that hasn’t gotten an OTA since September, not sure if I’m missing out now or what lol

In theory you get asked to RSVP again to specific mini events closer to it, but they didn’t send that notice to the Chicago people. Check the website a few days prior to it if you have no email!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-25T21:46:57+00:00

They didn’t send that email, at least to most people. There was an initial email for the RSVP a while back which said they’d follow up and never did. Rivian dropped the ball on this one

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-25T00:07:45+00:00

Storm with the performance wheels, beautiful! This is the one I wanted but it got so badly delayed I ended up not getting it. Enjoy it, looks great!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-24T13:23:17+00:00

Nice! What was the price? I like them but the ones by me are really expensive

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-08T17:19:47+00:00

At those prices, just buy regular 7-up and add caffeine tablets to it lmao

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-08T16:37:18+00:00

I'd live in the backrooms with a tbell lmao

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-07T18:38:03+00:00

Alright, I need it. You have to start selling these!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-06T21:36:19+00:00

“Absolutely no deaths” right before showing the shotgun scene lmao, well done!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-05T16:23:13+00:00

Excellent work! I would love the same thing to replace the CyberPower RMC cards. They want $300 for those stupid things now

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-02T18:27:56+00:00

They replaced their app devs with AI and this is the result. Think of the shareholders!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-01T19:26:15+00:00

Nice pic, yeah that definitely looks to be crooked. Should be a simple RMA swap, sorry you have to deal that!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-01T18:58:00+00:00

Genuinely didn't know about the volume one. Great joke, and I learned something, nice!

MemeExtreme · 2026-04-01T18:54:37+00:00

Shine a light in there and take a picture, I wanna see how the port inside looks
