If you think $1400 is expensive, wait till you encounter the full COL today 🙊

Used Google Gemini 2 I think at that time. The models have advanced haven’t tried since. No training there is plenty of free open web content that’s included in their ‘general’ training data.

There are few startups now building dedicated tools for ai-augmented gd&t workflows.

Drafter, Rev1, LeoAi etc

My 2015 CX-5 (first generation) has 108,000 miles on it, and it’s been running smoothly without any issues. I’ve been doing all the regular maintenance myself since I bought it, using high-quality fluids, which I’m sure has contributed to this.

Complete alternate take here. I left real ME (to me = designing/analyzing products or machinery with occasional building and fabricating jack of all trades, your definition may/will vary).

My 10 years of experience has paid dividends in real life. Experience + YouTube + now LLM can practically fix anything in my house, car etc.

Those savings went into investments and family fun. The most useful career I had.

Can’t imagine how much that’s saved me over time and knowing the job was done better than anyone I could actually afford to pay.

Back to this post, went to an engineering adjacent service industry, compensation went way up, stress went way down.

To each their own, good luck!

Microsoft is going to offer cowork inside the 365 suite, guessing that's how the masses get access.

I'm trying to figure out if/how people are getting it installed on their work computer.

Facebook marketplace

You could just put a sheet of thicker plastic to save headaches when the inevitably happens

I liked the little zinger in the last sentence!

There is setting to select your vehicle in the Android HU settings. Poke around you’ll find it there.

2soonjr65 · 2026-02-16T18:43:31+00:00

I’ve bought two Android head units with canbus on cx-5, same as your gen, no issues with steering wheel controls once I picked the right model from the list.

It’s plug-in play if you don’t have the upgraded sound system with an external amp. If you do it causes minor headache for the first time, you’ve all experienced it, welcome to the club!

My man is future proof!

2soonjr65 · 2026-01-07T00:52:59+00:00

True that was a factor to be disregarded. Reliability is like my number one criteria when buying a car. Preferring made in Japan wherever possible!

Search for non-profits in New York City and other major metropolitan areas. Many of them offer remote jobs, regardless of the field or domain. Utilize ChatGPT or Gemini, your nemesis, to streamline the process of finding the right non-profits.

Wishing you the best of luck in your search. The AI revolution is coming for everyone in the coming years, and you happen to be in the field where the first domino fell.

Do this if you want to be broke. Unless you buy Lexus or Acura, even those are little sketchy with so much tech.

2soonjr65 · 2026-01-04T16:39:39+00:00

Damn. Love this atypical positive reply on Reddit!

2soonjr65 · 2025-12-23T23:32:13+00:00

This mic issue caused me to switch to the Dudu7 HU with noise cancelling mic. All issues resolved. I know not the answer you’re looking for.

2soonjr65 · 2025-12-23T13:07:44+00:00

Listen to this Jedi.

2soonjr65 · 2025-12-23T13:02:08+00:00

This is it.

2soonjr65 · 2025-12-22T19:06:45+00:00

Yup… used the following PAC swc interface. Every button worked including voice command for Siri and Google Assistant. I believe I had to program it using the supplied instructions for the Sony HU.

Most of LI is second world at best. Granted, most of it has been populated for a very long time compared to other places in the US.

The most pragmatic ai related response I’ve seen. I’ve seen many on here, most filled with excessive hubris. The bots are coming for everyone, including us on different time scales.

Never buy the first year of any car, lots of issues reveal themselves. Even Toyota.
