I agree but it's not always black and white. It's a pop up every once in a while that I click an x on and move in with my life.
I'm not defending it, but I'm also not loading a new OS on my truck or spending time working on changing it. I obviously hate the popup and don't want it but it's been 3 years, its just something I have to do and move on with life in 2 seconds every few months.

For reference, for anyone who isn't familiar with the 2004 movie Dodgeball.

The difference with vehicles vs computers is everything is so god damn expensive and/or hard to fix. So it will never be worth the risk of failure because I need it to function for emergencies, work and life. RAM wins this round unfortunately and I guess I just have to deal with it for now.

2022 model and about every three months I'll get one for Sirius XM or something related to that. It's only when the vehicle starts up and initializes. Its annoying but Ive been on the Internet since the late 90's, my ability to practice the 5 D's: dip, dodge, duck, dive and dodge for popups is muscle memory.

A lot of random things that weren't explained. Chinese writing? Is there a purpose to the wrist band that was found? With the pattern buffer glitching, it feels like this is a part 1. Who were the other aliens and how did they get the visor?
I know they tried to explain it but why did the building vaporize that guy?!
Note to self, never go on a first away mission. Skip it and go on a second or third once all the kinks are worked out.

Qb series Samsung are commercial displays but no Netflix or smart features. However, they are about double the price of a standard tv. Will last forever though. I would rather buy a less expensive and not connect it to the network.
