Maxus e-Deliver 3 i Norge har IKKE Android Auto eller Apple CarPlay

-

 This post will be in norwegian, as it (as far as I know) only applies to the norwegian market. English tldr at the bottom. 

Jeg har nylig blitt deleier av en Maxus e-Deliver 3, og har oppdaget noe som jeg syns må få større oppmerksomhet. 

Alle anmeldelsene jeg så rundt denne bilen i forkant, viste at denne har Android Auto og Apple CarPlay.
Men når vi kjøpte vår, oppdaget vi at USB-porten tiltenkt dette manglet. Ifølge forhandler ble vi fortalt at bilen er tilpasset det norske markedet og har dermed DAB-radio i stedet for Android Auto og Apple CarPlay... 

Det var ingen dealbreaker for oss under kjøpet, men veldig surt å lære først når vi sto der og så bilen med egne øyne i Norge. Så om du vurderer Maxus e-Deliver 3 og den er importert av forhandler, vær klar over dette. 

Hvordan DAB er implementert er noe teknisk interessant. USB-porten tiltenkt Android Auto/Apple CarPlay finnes tilsynelatende likevel, om så virtuelt. Jeg har ikke (enda) undersøkt baksiden av dashbordet grundig. Personen vi snakket med hos forhandler kunne ikke utdype så mye, men selve medieenheten var tilpasset DAB, hvertfall på maskinvarenivå. Men i programvaren har den ikke en egen DAB-seksjon, som FM/AM radio. DAB-kanalene finnes som "filer" på "USB-minnet". Virker litt hacky og snedig etter min mening. Selv skulle jeg ønske man kunne bytte dette tilbake, men for oss som har garanti på bilen og DAB er konfigurasjonen ment for norske forhold, ser dette dystert ut. Vi får klare oss med smarttelefon i holder på dashbordet.

English tldr: The car does not have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in the norwegian market. Because of the weird norwegian radio situation that no one asked for.

Hidden settings in the Raspberry Pi Imager

 So I've written a few micro sd cards over the years for my various Raspberry Pi projects. I always found it a pain to every time enable SSH and Wifi before boot by placing the ssh file and wifi profile on their respective places on the sd card before the first boot. Doing it manually with keyboard and display is even worse. I recently found out about the hidden options of the Raspberry Pi imager , and want to relay this information to my readers.  So when you open the imager, it might look like this: Now, press Ctrl+Shift+X Tadaa! MUCH better, I now look forward to flashing for my next project!

Getting Company Portal apps locally using PowerShell (no auth!)

As you may know, I work at Intility in the application packaging space.  I've been doing that since about 2015, and during that time I and my collegaues have developed standards and systems to help us package apps better and faster. The so far last and unifying system is AppPackBot, which you can read more about at Intility Engineering . I won't (and quite frankly can't) go into all the nuts and bolts beyond what that blog post says, but I wanted to share something. You see, there are mainly two "app stores" in a corporate Windows environment. Good old Software Center, and the new Company Portal. Software Center can be programmatically interacted with using the CCM_Application WMI Class . But Company Portal, not so much.  I burst out laughing when I read this attempt to install an app from Company Portal using PowerShell. Tldr: Using the companyportal: protocol to open Company Portal with a given app guid, and then sending a ctrl+i keystroke that equals clicking
