1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I am chilling with the homegirl rn

 

They went freaking ballistic when I got home; they're good though and back to their lazy routine

 

hahaha they're not used to being separated from you for so long huh

 

she's sleepy lol we have been going on 2 short walks a day and it's kicking our asses lol

 

I'll let tomorrow me worry about this one.

 

How'd you know I wanted a snow fort??

 

You can come take all the snow you want!

 

Maybe we could send a dump trailer full to Tyler's driveway

 

If we brought a trailer load of snow to the bay it would cause a few major accidents!

When we went to the snow last weekend there were countless people stopped on the side of the road pilling snow on top of the roofs of their cars then hopping right back onto the highway, people out here are so fucking dumb

 

A quick pump of the breaks and there not going to see anything in front of them.

 

Close! It’s in Manhattan.

 

Actually 1, surge.

 

It's been out for a few months, in Australia at least. There are review vids on YouTube from at least as early as September.

Given that it's a touch screen device with wifi, I'd bet $5 it's based on Android. Whether that's a pro or con is up to you.

 

Might as well just use a Raspberry Pi and touchscreen for less money with more features then

 

Big reason I've liked having Scanguage in my vehicles is because of how unobtrusive it is. New one is a bit much for me. Fewer color screens the better.

 

Woah

 

My thoughts exactly. I expect the dot-matrix LCD, physical buttons, and simpler software to hold up better over time than a touchscreen running a full operating system.

Android hardware can be pretty cheap if you don't need state of the art, and you avoid the Google licensing fees if you don't include Google apps (including the Play Store).

I'm not a Linux or Android dev, but I assume Android has an advantage of Raspberry Pi in that it comes with a well-understood stack and tool set for developers--even if the hardware itself costs a bit more, the overall development process can be cheaper. @0xDEADBEEF or @Wulf might have better-informed thoughts though.
