I just managed to get the Car Thing to talk with an LLM - it's pretty neat

I know it happened almost a month ago - but if you want a neat recap of the last year of the car thing, there is truly no better resource I could point you towards!

Just made a new tutorial for setting up DeskThing Huzzah! It's been nearly 7 months since I last uploaded @.@ www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW2b...

32 feet of raw USB power! Somehow it still works though. Anyone able to test further? This is all i got.

DeskThing just had v0.11.1 release! First update in 5 months - and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride There's not much of the original code left anymore www.reddit.com/r/DeskThing/... deskthing.app/support

Hey just wanted to share that DeskThing will have a table at Teardown 2025 ✨ So if you’re in the Oregon area June 19th-22nd come over and join us! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

Local audio is hard… With the help of @joeyeamigh.com - we now have a new app called Local Audio which updates live to music state changes on Windows, Mac (theoretically) and Linux! deskthing.app/support if you want to test it out before the public release (you’ll also have to join the discord)

quick preview of Thing Labs’ BridgeThing, coming soon! this is the original spotify webapp running on-device with a custom Rust backend to connect to the phone long way to go, but making great progress!

Finally off break ✨ Time to start DeskThinging again

Credit to TheBigLoud for this one! He did a fantastic job making the website ✨

ooh, the new @deskthing.app website is super sick! (deskthing.app)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

There’s really no such thing as a “simple feature” And if there is, I’ve never encountered it

This is the longest video I’ve ever published. But for the sake of getting our Spotify Car Things working again, it’s worth it. Special call out to @dammitjeff.bsky.social for the great stand. youtu.be/yYKXvpjppsE?...

Attention Kernel Engineers: The Spotify Car Thing revival project needs assistance with graphics acceleration. The device features a Mali G31 Bifrost GPU on an Amlogic S905D2. Currently, graphics performance is severely limited with Panfrost,

DeskThing v0.10 just dropped!!! More details abt the release are on Reddit and Discord For now, you can basically customize anything abt the app!

The original Car Thing has officially just turned to Trash Thing - at least that’s what spotify wants for it F to pay respects for the original operating system:

Really grinding to get this update out by Monday (the brick date) I don’t think I’ll get all the features I want - but that’s what patches are for!! Button mappings are 100% working though!

Workin on the new client. A big focus for this one is customization. Customizable button locations Customizable colors Custom MiniPlayer height Custom fonts Custom icons You get the idea. Hopefully this will help you make DeskThing an extension of your setup - not just something on top

I think the car thing hacking scene has changed forever @embed.dog really did something amazing with terbium Hacking your Spotify Car Thing from ANY PLATFORM youtu.be/RxUmyFUajiE

Linus Tech Tips just mentioned DeskThing on the WAN Show I think I've peaked as a developer. www.youtube.com/live/rIQlOYS...

v0.9.0 just dropped and I'm genuinely so glad this nightmare has a good ending XDD 8 hours of nonstop debugging and banging your head against a wall has an effect on you - but it's just a daily experience as a developer

Can whoever found my video with the search term: " beethoven piano concerto 5" please let themselves be known? I'm seriously concerned...

Just found I can load DeskThing faster than a song can finish youtube.com/shorts/N8QvG... Hopefully we can get flashing to be just as fast
