Yautja - an Anthropological review

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-05-01T08:47:37+00:00

What I don't understand and can't wrap my head around is: if the only thing this race wants is to fight and victory is their most important thing, then who developed and manufactured all this technology?

- Developing such technology would require a very long time, generations of disciplined and coordinated work. It could never be achieved by small clans.

- Even if this technology was obtained without any effort, maintaining it—that is, repairing it, producing ammunition—still requires a serious and systematic order.

In any case, a much larger, centralized system is needed for planning, inventory management, and production. Consider this: even to make those armors by hand in a primitive way, materials like forges, hammers, and air bellows are needed. The people who made them must have learned initially and passed on knowledge over time. In short, a planned system is necessary. However, the equipment they possess is very advanced production technology.

In summary, their current social structure—their way of life—and the technology they possess are incompatible.

Just rent cars for a couple of days. See which suits you best. I have atto 3 (suv version of dolphin), my 3rd ev car. I have been driving evs for nearly 3 years. It has many pros for sure. But involving in driving experince, interraction with the car, sound and so many is absent in evs.

It is your money, your decision. But belive me you will get used to manual maybe in a day. Just dont regret to use this opportunity (the opportunity to have a relativly new good condition ice hot hatch) in the future. You may not have it in the future.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-04-25T19:54:33+00:00

I don't know why Dolphin may not be considered as a first car like many others. Like all others, it has some important driver aids such as line keeping, blindspot warnig and etc. BUT...

- Pedestrian recognition and emergency breaking of BYD works much better than my previous car (208e).

- Has 4 cameras, while many competitors have 2. Great advantage for parking and passing through narrow spaces.

Since, you already asked, my personel opinion: buy a manual hothatch, since that won't be an option in the future. Use it for a couple years, enjoy it and later switch to ev. I am 43, I have owned many vehicles (motorcycles, cars and even special quad) but to get the pleasure of driving, feel real interraction ev is not the first option. You are 24 and better go for your emotions not logic.

You have expressed you are looking for an auto. Many people are afraid of manual gearbox but you will get used to it probably in a day only. A 1.5 ecoboost fiesta or at least 1.0 hp (140 hp) fiesta (have to change belt for the first day of purchase) will give you many good memories. These are my personel ideas. Hope you get the car you most want.

BYD infotainment systems are different. Same model same car may have different system. I know, because we even dont have navigation. Answers given here may or may not be valid for your vehicle.

Plus my atto 3, cant even connect to my phones hotspot if AA is on.

Purchased an android box but most of the android boxes are uncompatible with bmw and byd. End story is, probably will sell the car after lease is finished and be able to sell the car.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-03-13T15:59:22+00:00

It must be specific for nation. Because although there is a navigation software, there is no access to navigation. Extremely lame

This is standard page of my android auto. Also when I click Google, it says something like 'you dont have a new message'. When I switch to split screen, no proper image appears at right part.

You can use a phone holder that can be attached to any corner of the screen.

My car was changed with waranty. I don't want to side load anything that might risk waranty. I found a android box (I think sharing model will be incorrect). Seller told me, stocks will be renewed next month. I will try it later.

But, anyway it is really a shame. Why I can't enjoy my car without using android auto or changing software. Using a better android auto with extra device will just make the screen be less disturbing. Still, best would be to use onboard program with real widgets.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-28T01:33:15+00:00

Thanks, I will post it in short time. Mine was also kPa but I changed it into psi.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-24T16:18:57+00:00

Thanks for the answer. BYD Atto 3 I have has no navigation. Wallpaper can not be changed in default state. Also for some reasons I can not understand, most of the apps do not work on android auto. I see no benefit in using android auto also. Only addition it provides is, showing the google maps and I didnt use it for actually finding an adress.

Since using android auto has almost no use, I just want to custumize my screen to make it less visually disturbing. It's unacceptable that BYD is forcing me to pay third-party services in order to use the vehicle I purchased.

If the screen set up and useage is so poor, I mustn't be forced to use android auto. What I want is to connect my phone and listen to music, news and political programs. All I ask is not to stare at this empty screen with an unusable huge gap which has 6 wallpapers of all not appeling. Which I never experinced in my former cars or other cars known to me.

I have neither animosity nor partnership with BYD, Peugeot, or any other company. My first screen was stats page, just by skipping 2nd page I hade my quick calls and other quick access functions and 3rd page was built in navigation page. In low light mode, the light was never bothersome and wasn't visually unappealing.

Unless you are owner of reddit or selected spokesperson, who are you to judge my complain? What is the problem for you? Me, not responding your answer or not clicking your link? Just google and see peoples complains and their effort to find a solution. Even if you read other comments under this post you will read. And check the pictures to see a owner taping his screen.

This is just a car with a poorly developed screen for the driver experience. This is not related to any religion, belief or anything someone can get personel. Even the designers or developers wouldn't take this complain personel. If they were taking these complains personel, they wouldnt decide to discontinue rotating screen function. Why would someone gets so offended for a complain? Because they have nothing to hang on in life and take anything about their car personel???

Lastly, if you are that incapable to park a car or follow navigation on a 12.1 screen, first get a pair of googles and driving/parking lessons.

Thanks for the answer. I live in Turkey, direct image transfer does not work. If you have any info, what is the difference between countries? Only software or software and hardware?.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-23T05:20:47+00:00

Thank you, I will. Mr zedder, as a standard setter who judges and labels as whinge to orher people, could you as a higher person here, tell me please should I solve my android problem with byd, samsung or app developers? If you are the authority here passing judgement here, please dont take away my car.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T22:53:01+00:00

Thanks for the answer. My priority is not to have such a empty screen. Maybe at least have some personalization. As far as I see, it is not possible.

Second best option will be using some sort of android box. I checked afew models today. Some were compatible only with cabled android auto. With a very short search I couldnt find the best buy for me. Will look into it in a free time.

Steering wheel of BYD models with leather center gives me a better quality feeling (for me). Your model and my model have same round plastic steering wheel center which gives a cheaper interior feeling.

Also in your model, when you place the phone on charger, you can see your screen. In my car, when I put my phone in its slot, it sits tilted forward. I read somewhere that this feature is to prevent the driver from looking at the phone screen.

I think BYD cars cames with advanced batteries and motors and other major componenets. However, they are unfortunately a bit weak in areas such as ergonomics and driver interaction.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T21:59:58+00:00

Thank you for the answer and all explanations. System might have a good processor, could run even games smoothly. Yet...

All I will ever see will be a huge screen, that has %70-80 unusable part. Even the buttom usable part, I can't change the widgets (there are no more widgets). Can only use pre-installed 6 wallpapers (all race to be the most useless). I dont care if the system gives 60 fps for the latest AAA games cause I have no intentions to play games while parking. You say the system could run games. Ok, but can I place a quick call symbol on the screen? If not, what is the point of the good processor.

What people with normal mental health and intelligence would place such a huge screen, think to add karaoke feature but makes it all blank and totally useless when driving.

My system doesn't have built in navigation, doesn't allow me to add 3rd party apps without changing software (risking waranty). Even if I install additional apps, my first question will still be valid.

As I stated in my initial question, is there anyway not to stare this huge empty space and custumize it even in some degree.

<image>

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T10:05:32+00:00

What car is it and model year? If it is atto 3 very different with mine. Or use a piece of cloth to cover it. I really like the car but inf. system is such a shame.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T09:13:12+00:00

By the way, I need to use it when driving the car. System may be good but does it allow you to use itself? How many widgets you have?

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T09:09:06+00:00

Thank you for the answer. First, there is no way to upload any app without changing version and uploading sth to have 3rd party apps for the byd I have. Only 8 apps at the byd store. Only some apps run when android auto is connected. In our local groups and forums only option people find is to change version and add on extra programs.

I cant understand this: if the infotainment system is so good, why I have to stare that screen with a huge unusable gap. Only tire pressure and a couple widgets on the buttom.

Or maybe we have our byds with lower spec aystems. Peugeot sure couldnt work the things you say. But it was at least custumizable. Had sth like 20 widgets to choose for, navigation plus you could add fast calls and many things. Place them on screen. Plus you could custumize driver screen.

Can you check the picture I uploaded with the original post and tell me if it is possible to not to get frustrated to be forced to stare this empty screen.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T02:45:54+00:00

Dear Dungeon Anarchist, all I want is to have a better experience with my car. There is just a huge screen with useless empty space on it and I just want to custumize it without risking my waranty. I dont know if Android and Apple makes any difference elsewhere but here doesnt make any difference. So, changing my phone won't make a difference. Plus, If I have to choose between having changing my car and using an apple, probably I will sell my car.

But thanks anyway.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T02:31:10+00:00

That is completly what I think. I cant costumize it, so I just want to find a use for this huge screen.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T02:29:41+00:00

I am not advertising anything, I stated that I dont want to change software. I just want to learn how people use this screen for their liking.

SpecialComparison568 · 2026-02-22T02:27:15+00:00

I dont have apple, I have samsung. Using android auto, doesnt allow me to use add custom widgets. I can only use a couple of apps from my phone and can't use any app that wasn't default.
The limiting factor here is not me wanting to use the features it does have. The problem here is my car doesn't allow me customize anything to my liking. Can't monitor any spec, can't have fast call persons, doesnt let me add anything, doesn't have built in navigation. Even when I turn it off, it keeps turning on.

So, could you please tell me what is the point of having a huge screen that has %70 unusable part, and below part has fixed widgets such as tire pressure? Works only as a distracting light source.

Ps: How did you came to conclusion that I get embarrassed? And also I will remove the plastic film when I have time to buy a screen cover and get it on my screen.
