Forced To Listen To NPR

This is weird.

Big Brother is watching.

 

lol, rhe only solution is to replace radio for a cool 1500 bucks. double lol, there aren't any.

 

Could be worse, imagine having to listen to 'Rick & Marty Ton'O'Laffs Morning Show'. in a continuous loop....

That said, it's a pretty weird glitch.

 

the car max ad with the cd player being stuck on nookie by limp bizkit was pretty amusing.

 

Crappy firmware in the radio. The station used a graphic file without a file extension in the RDS feed (puts the station logo on radio displays that support RDS), and the radio firmware can't handle it and gets stuck - permanently.

The developer who wrote that software, and the people who QA'd (or the managers who prevented proper QA from happening) it should be fired after being first being required to personally do the fix on each and every radio in the wild.

The fix is to remove the radio from the dash, place it on the bench, open the case and connect the firmware programming cable and load revised firmware. Then test, and put the radio back together and re-install in the dash.

Surprise! Stupid hurts and is expensive.

 

Good thing there’s all that fancy stuff in there. I’d hate to just be able to listen to the fucking radio…

I used to listen to NPR for international news and classical music

but around 2015 my self-masochism did not suffice for their brainwash (-attempt on me) any more

 

2 thumbs up!!! will say was different and a place of different things. was great to listen to going to work..relaxing. ... then has gotten very Mainstream complicated past few yrs... used to have great stories and helping stories. not so much near as I can figure anymore.... makes me sad everything is of a negative sense now days...

 

Couldn’t they turn the radio



OFF????

 

just buy new car.... that's what it all comes down too... simple I'm mean cmon....what they want ..seriously though it's all messed up!!! idk if really anyone knows what's going on... will say out of control... after market radio probably might change thing or 2 but for how long? on star....Xm radio etc.. if you have it use it someone controls it... seriously don't mean anything by that... but who's numberes are down and how can they control get them back?

 

Reminds me of a co-worker that used to listen to Howard Stern.
Just hours of mindless drivel interspersed with the occasional stripper/pornstar.
Thank god he went to Sirius XM and got the fsck off the public air.

 

I listen to NPR everyday on my short 4:45-5:10am commute to work. Its to the point where if I was blind fold and someone else drove me I could tell you where we are just by what what segment of the news is being delivered. lol

I'm starting to think that @In Your Corner may be right about me...

 

So that means you're at work right now? Goofing off on the beeb on company time? I wish I could find a gif of a famous person saying, "YOU'RE FIRED".

 

uuuhhhh, I'm on break? lmao

 

Yeah, Brahms, Beethoven, Wagner et al. are indeed well re-known brain washers.........

 

Explains why your brain seems, uh, waterlogged?

 

And a lovely morning to you too honey!....
