<p>Pretty interesting. I recently got some cheap Meshtastic devices just to play around with and it looks like the longest line of sight from my house is about 20 miles. Might have to leave one at home and see if I can directly connect to it from the general area it is showing.</p>

<p>Ugh, maybe I need to see it inside an actual car but overall looks like it could belong inside a small truck/SUV if you took away the Ferrari logos.<p>I like the physical controls. I actually just traded off my truck over the weekend and the climate controls being through the screen were a major part of that decision. It still seems like the switches here are pretty minimal and might be annoying - do you have to go through the screen when your windshield starts to fog?</p>

<p>I'd imagine scratchers would be almost impossible unless you could somehow get all the tickets from every place they are sold. I'm not into gambling, but I guess it might work if there is X number of prizes/money per roll of tickets.</p>

<p>I've also got a Flexispot (from Amazon, assuming its the same brand) and its been good for a little over a year now. Seems well built and sturdy at any height.<p>I don't stand a lot, but it is nice if I wake up and my back is sore. Also gives me better adjustability with the office chair, lets me set the height just right.</p>

<p>Same. Got a laptop and Blackberry at my first job out of college. Didn't take too long for me to realize that it actually sucked.<p>Later worked as a govt contractor and could leave my laptop at the office 90% of the time. Never realized how good that was until I switched back to a job with an on-call rotation.</p>

<p>I remember having some goofy message for my voicemail when I was in college. Some recruiter left me a voicemail scolding me for being so unprofessional... finally changed it several years later when I upgraded phones.<p>Custom ringtones on my old Nokia were always fun. I guess I'm old and lame now and just have the standard iPhone ringtone.</p>

<p>It's not really. Any decent bike shop has bins full of spare parts and take-offs. Then you always have eBay, Marketplace, etc. to find something strange.</p>

<p>Same thing here. I dumped Alexa stuff 4ish years ago for Google Home devices and its become somewhat of a let down. They really don't seem to have anything new while Amazon keeps releasing new displays/speakers.<p>My Nest Hub Max will only show the camera in the old Nest app while it never loads in the Google Home app.<p>I'm thinking I may have to try something else in the near future.</p>

<p>Worked for a govt contractor years ago and I would imagine the payout from the govt contract was at least 2-3x. There were usually 2-3 layers of people getting paid and I don't think any of them were hurting. Of course no employee was getting a massive payout compared to private.<p>Govt > contractor > sub-contractor > employee was pretty common. I never knew of anyone being a direct contractor to the agency since the contracts were so large and involved a lot of employees.</p>

<p>Same. I pulled down my dad's old camera from the closet a few years ago and it probably hadn't been used since the 90s so the batteries were dead. Threw in some new Duracell batteries and played with it a bit before putting it away. Opened it a year or two later and the batteries had swelled and leaked everywhere. Had to use a pair of pliers to extract the swollen batteries from the battery compartment. Such a huge pain.</p>

<p>This seems like a very difficult way to do things unless you really needed to mess with items in the background.<p>I would think there is still plenty of room to crop a single image down from something like a new Canon 1D. Even just making a composite image if really needed sounds much easier.</p>
