Joke is on you, my hips are narrow.

that plastic is no bueno and breaks down over time leeching toxic shit into the water you pour in there.

Michael Cera? Being tested by Jason Schwartzman?

Jason Schwartzman? Testing Michael Cera?

Looks like molded plastic.

808 for those phat beats, yo.

I use it as an RSS reader too. Preinstalled, free, Google designed GUI, it's all good. I see no reason to change it up on my phones and tabs.

Battery level?

Weird, this is definitely already implemented on both 5.0.x devices I own (stock GPE GS4 and Nexus 7 2013)? I have a pattern lock screen on both phone and tab.

for $36k+ VAG has to really update this pathetic excuse of an infotainment center. My ancient mobile phone is bigger with higher resolution.

Mostly agreed, and I would be totally okay with a dead basic head unit, but the current iteration of that infotainment screen is like a awkward, in-between mutant.

The funny part is the streaming versions of the music are often times better quality than the tracks I've been "carrying" around for well over a decade. There was a point around the gen3 iPod that everyone - including myself - ripped all their CDs to 128kbps MP3s (or that god awful Apple only codec that iTunes…

Ah I see what you mean. I had a huge music collection and realized that with streaming services I only had to upload the oddball stuff (like import singles, live rips, indie publishers) and that was way below the 20K limit. Everything else I would just stream.. You must have a crazy huge library of b sides!

I've noticed no such thing and is on par with every other streaming service out there. Phone apps allow you to control quality. Desktop client might just depend on your ISP and local connections.
