#Carthing
DOOM running on the Spotify Carthing, the image was built with a nix config (built @joeyeamigh.com), built entirely inside of a Docker container (built by me)

Next step is trying to get the flashing script running inside of a docker container for 100% portability

Introducing GlanceThing!
github.com/BluDood/Glan...

This is my new project for Spotify CarThing, which turns it into an action pad to control Spotify, and do actions on your computer. If you want to breathe new life into your CarThing, check it out!

Since there's no more accessories for the spotify CarThing, i uploaded my custom 3D print file so anyone can go download it for free! Would REALLY appreciate a rating if you end up using it💙♥️ makerworld.com/models/750082

Having a little fun with the Spotify Carthing

I love flexing about the stupidest of things.

“What? Who me? Yeah, I have the third top post in a subreddit all about the niche product Spotify CarThing. Oh, you want my phone number? Yeah, sure 😎”

Also super proud of this video because for once I actually contributed!

I designed and programmed an app for Deskthing called WeatherWave! :) Me! I did this!!

Shows your time, weather, and album artwork all at a glance. You can install it FOR FREE with the release of Deskthing v0.9.0 🥰

Custom DeskThing firmware loaded onto the CarThing now that Spotify is turning it into a brick. 3D printed an undermonitor mount and boom! Can control music, weather at a glance, and system usage stats.

Fun little device, real glad it has a purpose now aaa

Spotify shut down the CarThing almost 1 year ago. I haven’t updated my Spotify app since then and it still just works.

I’m getting my $30 (that you already refunded me) out of this thing so get rekt Spotify.

Couldn't get deskthing to work reliably on this but Glancething seems better. I just wish I knew how to disable it going to sleep because then I have to disconnect and reconnect it which is annoying. Spotify pulling this doofus ass ewaste shit can get fucked though.

Starting to mod my Spotify CarThing. If you're looking for a tool to flash a new image onto one, check out Terbium.app. It made the process incredibly easy #carthing #spotify #modding #hardwarehacking #gadgets

Can’t wait for someone to find a way to reverse engineer these and give them new life just like how people have done with the Spotify CarThing.

Tried hacking my carthing with deskthing. It's neat but it needs a lot of work before being convenient to use for most people. Better than e-waste but I def wouldn't recommend buying one on ebay to hack.

on todays adventures in vs code: redoing my website to be properly one page
integrated my lastfm-carthing codebase to make the lastfm widget. each page is just a variable in a js file (could be a bad idea but we will see)

I finally want a Spotify CarThing and can’t find one for less than $250 😫

Just saved my CarThing from a bricked fate! If you have one and you want to save it from becoming a paperweight, I can't recommend @deskthing.app's tutorials enough! Super easy to follow and everything works great!

I was today years old when I learned the Sonos can power Spotify’s CarThing!

#CarThing is now my DeskThing! Firmware flashed successfully. Happy to keep this thing out of the landfill 😁

Now to get a 3D print for a custom mount/dock.

Friendly PSA to anyone who owns the Spotify CarThing:

You can easily flash the device and use it as a desktop music controller! Either run the program “DeskThing” from your computer or with a Raspberry Pi you can run “Nocturne”, which will allow you to keep using it in a car!

As someone who did a little bit of work on the first gen CarThing, I absolutely love everything about this! 😁
