Episode 248: More Reasons For Real Worry
Play Now!All too often today the forces driving the changes that increase suffering are hidden, unavailable for us to adequately understand, let alone change. Matt Stoller delivers yet another industry machination in this Episode 248: More Reasons For Real Worry.In this episode, I read from: Matt Stoller's article titled "It’s the Land, Stupid: How the Homebuilder Cartel Drives High Housing Prices." Beyond his primer on Georgist economic theory, it's yet another great tip off that something very fishy is happening beyond what the commercial news blatherers are claiming.Musically, I play: Podington Bear doing "That's Alright". Matt Stoller himself opens the show backed by KMFDM, and I close today with Mistle Thrush.

I heard you were looking for something to hookup in your car, but you can get things on the shit river that allow you to broadcast over the radio like fm channel 88.5. I have a link and almost hate to put it here because it feels like advertising, but (and that's a really big fat butt) https://www.amazon.com/Nulaxy-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Smartphones/dp/B018E0I01I/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=2VLQWMGFSA07D&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2nVSTDhtbPmdoRQxKpSP9hvqoom_2nY1fO7FU3nbu8B6BkxLkLthy2cSWVF0wVWz0bq4yaar6rfuq41r1qwsWfAK_9qswTrZMtnElpJLI4gBknnnPbvD1mk7PPfq_tmzQqf-n7yTxp8SVeJ9SYBZoQwVgJC2j8XsIuALrRg10XiEW_upkLsl0tO5qWK5tbTpCMTO9WtJ1SNlNM-LESwpFQ.OFnaXe2RrgFzSz-HMQUJ945Jq1N1ulFTaieQocJULJg&dib_tag=se&keywords=bluetooth+aux+adapter+for+car&qid=1724330176&sprefix=blutoot%2Caps%2C249&sr=8-18
ReplyDeleteUsually, all the crap in a URL after the question mark, you can remove. That's all behavioral data for the shit river that doesn't carry information useful to you.
DeleteHey, Future Farm!
ReplyDeleteI've used those broadcaster things before. Heck, back in the Radio Shack days, I had an electronics education toy that allowed me to make one. Hook up a tape deck to it, and you could really screw with people, who think "Hey, that's coming from the RADIO!"
The problem is simple: when there's a dominant signal, your little gadget, Shit River or Radio Shack, gets stifled, and you miss the lyrics to that seventies CD you already know by heart. (Okay, my neighbor misses those lyrics, in that case. My car still has a CD player….)
Which is why I want a device that sticks vengeance where it belongs: by not only thwarting the enshittified car stereo that we all paid good money to hear, but by giving them data that will really screw up their user profiles, and thus undermine their business case for the enshittified system.
I checked out your link. What irony! An interface for cars that don't have enshittified stereos! It gives hands-free calling, though, so that I at least have to endorse.
Thanks for commenting! Later!

I did sort of the opposite.
ReplyDeleteI use a transceiver device that receives bluetooth and outputs over a cable, which I plug into the auxiliary jack of my car. I bought the tiniest such device that I could find, and I highly doubt it's capable of selling my behavioral data.
So my phone connects to the bluetooth receiver, which produces an audio signal that the car can't make anything of but sound. I get a wireless connection, my car's manufacturer gets nothing useful.
Wow. I'm not sure I follow, but I can say my neighbor doesn't even have the aux input in her new car, which really sucks. I've been using old players through the input now since forever.
DeleteI have put the problem to a few people outside the 'cast, and gotten some interesting suggestions. We'll see if the neighbor can find any use.
Thanks!
