Yeah what’s up with that?! My new car comes with a host of connection possibilities, but lacks a simple jack. I still use that 5th gen iPod, is it too much to ask for a connector?

I know all that, the point is modern infotainments do way more than just play music. Look, I wish it was different, but most cars built today have controls in the infotainment that you can’t have anywhere else. Like very specific settings for interior and exterior lighting, consumption metrics, creature comforts, just to name a few. That’s not a simple case of getting the wires correctly installed like it was before. And good luck finding just the right car with a dumb head unit, even simple cars today are fitted with this stuff.
I highly doubt an aftermarket unit will work. Today, most units are integrated into the entire car system. Removing the unit from my car would mean losing access to a lot of functionality. I doubt the car would even accept a 3rd party unit. And this is not a Tesla.
I switched to Orion browser two weeks ago and it’s really good. Haven’t seen any ads on YouTube anymore, no ads on other sites either. I’ve made it my default browser. Only thing that doesn’t work for me is the consent-o-matic.
I’ve had metal anchors in my walls that corroded over time. I’m not sure if corrosion causes expansion, but all those bricks split. That would be my only worry.
Thanks for explaining and sorry you had to do it twice. On beehaw, where I’m at, the other comment doesn’t show up. I checked your instance and the person asking the question is from lemmy.world, maybe that has something to do with it?
What was the reason to simplify it? The before looks great to me, but I’m no expert. The after also looks great, maybe more like a real stream.
Man, me too! I haven’t been exited for a movie to come out for decades, but the first movie was awesome. I loved the books and the movies does the story justice.
I've been meaning to create an account on Beehaw, your post was the final push I needed.
I'm a senior dev, also with 15 years under my belt. It may help with gauging what to do with my 2 cents.
You've been put in an impossible position by the firm you are working for. This is definitely not a "fake it till you make it" situation, this is a quick way to burnout. Please listen to the great feedback in this thread: this is not your fault, you're actually doing a great job by keeping your head above water. But this is not the way to start your career. What you need is an appropriate role where you can grow. This includes mentoring and space for you to make mistakes. I personally don't think you'll find that at a consulting firm. They are notorious for dropping their employees in jobs that do not match, counting on you to fix it or cash the checks until the client to drops you. Very few people will dust off and continue, I know I couldn't.
You deserve better. You deserve a place where you can be open about your abilities. You deserve a place where people have you back, this is very important. Places where this culture exists are definitely around. Your best bet to find this is at companies that have their own software product, they usually will want to invest in their employees' skills and know how to get you to a next level.
Good luck man. It'll be a little rough before it gets better, but you've got this! Keep us updated.
I love this kind of no nonsense answer. Reading the title made me worried there would be endless discussions coming, but this is refreshing.
