512MB was a huge flash drive now it's not enough ram. Turns out Spotify can't open-source Car Thing because it's a potato https://www.androidauthority.com/spotify-car-thing-open-source-3449487/

Yeah, that’s definitely not enough RAM to run any kind of lightweight UI. Especially not an automotive music remote control client 🤔

The 3rd gen Nest Thermostat also has 512MB of RAM, and it isn’t too much of a potato to be a thermostat, complete with animated UI. Author of this article has a severe lack of imagination
