Also the old way with a cable was always fucking up and getting stuck or just being way off. Digital ftw.

idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI don’t know, I have a lot of old laptops with perfect screens, and usually some soldering dies first. My previous monitor’s inverter died, not the panel, it was perfect. Burn in is only a serious problem on oleds, rare on tft. Other parts will die before the screen in a car
Modern analog speedometers are just small servos, displaying digital data from the computer, actually an lcd has far less parts, far fewer point of failures

Yup, has multiple 80s VWs that had broken speedos a one point or another, and US old cars tended to have fluttering wildly inaccurate speedometers too. Have had good results with most stepper motor based garages do far but most of them are under 12 years old that ive seen.

Yeah, your laptop ain’t gotta survive upwards of ~160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit parked in the sunlight. Heat not only kills babies and puppies, it also kills electronics…

apparently they use small stepper motors for the dials, it’s why there’s a homing sequence at the start (where all the dials go to 0)
