And so that's what we got.

And I'm sure they're beautiful aluminum pieces.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

multi-part construction they showed them screwing them together it's like screwing the like a precision machine fine threads with aluminum glide like i'm sure it's all beautiful but i don't think those air vents are good air vents they don't they're they're better than they're better than having to adjust them on the touch screen i would give him that like it's not a bad interior i'm just disappointed that he didn't have any better ideas or seemed not to understand what the

the scope of the things that you can do in the auto industry in this area and things that people have tried before but maybe he doesn't care maybe it's just like i want them to look like this and i'm sacrificing the flexibility of air adjustments so they look nice yeah i gotta say those air vents really blow john wow oh one thing that one thing they think they're the first people to do and i give them some credit for the key thing ferrari's had these beautiful keys for a long time that they give you a little place to stick in the dashboard lots of cars do that because they want you to put their beautiful key somewhere in the dashboard although sometimes their key is not beautiful ferrari's usually look nice

It's color ink.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It's yellow all the time because it's yellow ink, but it takes zero power when it's just yellow all the time.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And only when you put it into what I assume is a little inductive charging thing in your car, it sucks the yellow.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

But I think that's clever for, you know, just like fanciness.
