holler if yorur computer is broadcasting an ip adress

bumper sticker idea: honk if your car has an IP address

@codl ...oh no this might actually be true for some cars, fuck :|

@codl wait shit this reminds me the Jaguar iPace has a full fuckin' touch lcd screen and it can pair up with an iphone so you can play videos, browse the internet and everything on the dashboard, so theoretically

THEORETICALLY

you could run doom on a car these days
AND PLAY MULTIPLAYER WITH IT TOO

@Nine @codl tesla cars literally have cuphead preinstalled on them
though tbf mentioning tesla in a "computers in weird places" thing is cheating

@codl @sobsz @Nine ethernet is actually getting more and more common on cars to replace CAN for some stuff 😬

@EeveeEuphoria @gulfie @codl @sobsz aw dang network tank is getting a bit empty, best fill it up at the pump

@codl @sobsz @Nine bandwidth mostly, CAN doesn't reliably work over a megabit/sec so it's hard to push like video or a lot of sensor data over that and also it sucks for various other reasons

@gulfie @sobsz @Nine ohh hmm. if it's ethernet for video and whatnot and CAN for highest-priority stuff then sure, but if everything moves to ethernet that worries me

@codl @gulfie @sobsz @Nine you mean ethernet media, right ?

because I know that there's some protocols specifically designed for RT on ethernet

(I'm thinking about https://sourceforge.net/projects/openpowerlink/)
