Good question, I would have used the old app or just the normal android OS. Situation is quite particular since car has already built in Bluetooth and Sync. I would have kept the mi8se connected al the time to bluetooth. Having 3 devices: phone, pi and car system, would be quite a mess to make them work seamless. I think there would be too many functions getting overlapped

I know there are a lot of them, but they look very pricy for what they offer and mostly chinese solutions with bad quality and generally speaking non customizable ugly graphics. I would have liked to use my phone since it's pretty powerful and complete and I would have integrated it and the screen to the cockpit in a DIY way of some sort. Don't know if the kits you are referring to are the ones I saw, but is the Pi a good platform for the job? Obv. I want to spend as little as possible, with the phone only expense would have been the screen and some crafting to fit it in the consolle of the car

Don't know if it's powerful enough to be an Android Auto device or kind of that

Well, me. I mean didn't think it was that stange, they could be some sort of very powerful arduinos. If you have a broken screen of course

As far as you know, is that proprietary Xiaomi connector specific for the phone or is it the same on any Xiaomi? Would be a better chance to find some sort of adapter

That's as much bad news as you could give me tbh

As I suspected, damn. Some sort of conversion is not possible right? Using the usb-c as output?

Hi everyone, I've been looking for an answer almost everywhere but it looks like a difficult question to locate in a sub category and to answer to. Long story short, I have and old Android phone, Xiaomi mi8se with cracked and broken display, everything else looks ok. I would like to re-use it, attached to a biigger screen for a project. I just can't figure out what kind of connector is used from MoBo to the touchscreen display itself and how to find a compatible one. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much P.S. sorry mods if it's the wrong category, couldn't really choose which was best

Well it's what I'm going to do probably, other than underclocking the right bit with ThrottleStop Just curios, why weren't you worring about it? I mean it's a pretty common thing to worry about, isn't it? Thanks again btw

Well thank for the advice but I'm sorry I have to disagree on the "easy" definition. I mean I'd have to tear it apart and invalidating warranty, that's quite a risk to take. I downloaded throttlestop and now I'm trying to figure out from a guide or something like that how to optimize performance staying at lower temps, I really don't like it being and 100°C for 16 hours

Well the investment has already been the laptop, quite a big one honestly. Ryzen is very cool for the purpose I think, but it will cost a lot since I would have to buy new CPU, MoBo and Ram. Just in case, can you suggest me a good budget combination of those three? So I consider keeping my CPU and simulating on the laptop or completely changing architecture and also switching to AMD, correct? Well, I set the simulation to run on 4 core/threads and mesh size is just what it needs to be, I mean you can go bigger but it will result in not reliable results. It's a simulation that includes two bodies and contact, so it's quite heavy by itself Extra question, what benchmark should I rely on to value different CPUs for this purpose? Thanks again

Hi, I have a 4690K with beQuiet D.R. 3 and an XPS15 with a 9750 I'm running a lot of Abaqus and other FEA simulations for university lately and even tho I obv expected the i7 to be quite a lot better at it then the i5, the difference is MASSIVE. I though thermal limitations on the laptop and the overclock capabilities of the i5 would have compensated just a little but looks like no, the i5 looks like it doesen't almost want to run them, even "light" ones. Now I ask you, can I do something to make i5 at least useful? I don't really like the i7 having to run 100% at 100°C for 10 hours or more, I hoped I could make the other one do the hard work, even spending twice the time maybe... Does buying an used i7 4790 K or not, make any sense, can it get as good as the i7? Thanks for any suggestion you will give me, have a nice day

Eurobux still the most neutral then I would think about a Quadro maybe when I get a job and I specifically know what I Need to use. If anyone gas other bang for the bux option I'll gladly see every suggestion

I think a Quadro would be too much. I'll do mostly basic things and solids in the main courses, but I'm trying to get into the motorsport teams so there I would probably have to design more complicated pieces in CAD programs. Hope that XPS like spec and price combination is good and reasonable improvement from the casual/usual €800 laptop, tell me if it isn't. Eurobux made me laugh, never heard that before Surface Laptop is about the same price as the XPS but lacks the dedicated GPU and 256gb of storage... Do you think it's a good deal anyway? Don't see the point sorry

Second Generation X1 here costs more than €1700... So it's too much I thought giving a decent amount of budget would have made the chosen one lasting at least my five years of University, for example a Dell XPS15 with i7 and gtx1650 which is a tiny bit less than €1400 here with my student discount
