So I see the CH341a, but what are the other two PCBs that are stacked on top that the ribbon cable is connected to? And how did you find out you needed them?
Overall, that’s awesome work! Couldn’t have broken it any worse than it was, so why not take the chance and it paid off.
wtf
Tripled our ARR
I mean going from $100 to $300 is technically tripling. It just doesn’t mean anything
Putting in 12-15 hour days
Ultra hard pass…
Yea good thing you didn’t. MSHTA is the app that lets you run Microsoft HTML Apps (usually used for their help articles). Those can contain JavaScript or VBScript code. And since you’re pasting it in a Run box it’ll happily execute it, even if it’s a remote source.
Generally it would only run as your user (you’re not admin are you?), which would still be enough to make your life miserable, but it could also try to run known exploits and raise itself to admin and own your whole computer.
There are also instances that most likely exist just to suck up data for AI/LLM training. People were up in arms about it happening on Reddit and trying to torch their comments when here they’re giving it away for free and there are less bots because it’s a newer platform.
I mean he did The Critic as a flash based webtoon when Comedy Central, ABC and Fox didn’t renew it. And those were some good episodes too.
I love my Elite but I think it’s absolutely stupid that I have to connect to one of their servers in order to change activities and buttons. There is literally zero reason for that. You could easily have an app that connects locally to the device and can do it there. I could see needing their service if you want to download new remote profiles but that should be it.
The internet was simultaneously the best and worst thing for humanity.

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”
The number of F-bombs in Final Fantasy 16 is quite impressive.
I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet
Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?
I know Androids can have user profiles which is what you’re talking about. I wish iOS would do the same thing.
I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:
Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.
Yeah I’ve used the Audi one and it sucks. Especially traffic, so many missing streets and odd routing.
Frankly CarPlay and Android Auto suck in my opinion compared to iDrive 7 on my BMW.
But… that being said, I do support choice. I wouldn’t even consider a car that doesn’t allow CP/AA as I think it should be up to the consumer to pick which one they want to use.
Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.
So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.
I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.
Ironically, we do have a common enemy: The billionaires. Problem is the enemy has managed to brainwash almost half the populace into fighting for them.
A lot of movies go through rewrites and updates before they get released, so saying it’s bad now may not be indicative of the final product. I mean look at Sonic. If that movie got released during its unfinished phase everyone would have hated it. That’s why they do test screenings and ask for feedback before release. Sometimes the movie will drastically change from its original.
