it's the little details that matter. The new "Sweet 4x4" macropad has a specific board shape in the corner allowing you to perfectly bend all the diodes you need to solder. excellent idea by @dries
This will make the hand assembly in our workshop at @fri3d a lot easier.

Show threadsugar🍬🍭🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Aug 1, 2024
@unnick @doskel@a.doskel.net the way neofetch recognizes river wm in wayland session when lsof or fuser doesn't exist is by checking whether a process containing river in its name is running

which may not necessarily be a window manager, or even a river for that matter, it could be a driver for instance (would make sense in context of a car, i feel like)
Show threaddoskelAug 1, 2024
@sugar @unnick you're exactly right! i ran ps aux | grep river and it was just some driver, so good guess too!

okay so it uses regular alsa as far as i can tell
Show threaddoskelAug 1, 2024
okay so the car just uses regular alsa, and integrates normally and everything. this is surprisingly not that cursed.
Show threaddoskelAug 1, 2024
this is way more normal than i though. the compositor and all that are fully proprietary which is kinda weird but the audio is just normal alsa

@doskel (nvm about generation - 2016 so 3rd gen)

@wolf480pl plug in a flash drive with some files on it, let it install some stuff, go into a menu, and hit the "start wifi ap" button. dead simple tbh.
Show threadWolf480plAug 1, 2024
@doskel nice!
Do you know if there are different variants of the infortainment system for those mazdas, or am I guaranteed to get one that's hackable if I buy a 3rd gen Mazda?
Show threaddoskelAug 1, 2024
@wolf480pl it's almost certainly going to work; afaik if the firmware version is supported, it's going to work, and most of the versions are supported.
Show threadJPAug 1, 2024
@doskel i wonder if the OS itself was a whitelabel/reference layer that they slapped some JS onto. seen that with firmwares in things like routers and set-top boxes
Show threaddoskelAug 1, 2024
@froztbyte im looking at it, and afaict Mazda did basically none of it! all the JS is from Johnson Communications, and they've developed it for a while apparently; the distro has a bunch of bits from other embedded vendors, so im honestly not sure...

@doskel@a.doskel.net wayland first got popular on embedded and automotive

because X sucks so incredibly much at it that it's either no windowing system at all or wayland in cars

@doskel this makes a lot of sense. Most modern OT systems are running nodejs on an arm processor to manage their field buses. We all live in hell, apparently.
