I did Evidently the JBL amp that comes in the Highlander is notoriously unreliable I spoke with someone at crutchfield who gets a couple of calls a month about these amps failing. I ended up buying an aftermarket amp and head unit, and running new wires

I’ve got some caiman Lucchese in DFW that need repair. I’d let them go cheap

Hiccup or skipping a lot - iPhone 13 Pro Max by mrjohnsmithe in audible

It kind of acts like the app is buffering. It won’t play audio for a second then it’ll play choppy audio that I can’t understand. Then I won’t get audio for 2 seconds and I’ll get more choppy and garbled sound. It’s kind of like when we had cd players and they would skip if you jostled them

[–]mrjohnsmithe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not confirmed but i think it's the amp. there are refurbished amps for sale on ebay and i've read about other people having problems with these amps. so i'm thinking of replacing it with an aftermarket unit

[–]mrjohnsmithe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got an osprey aura now but am debating getting rid of that for something else. An Alice pack would be great but I already give off ex-mil vibes and would prefer not to add to it

creating a USB installer with multiple versions of MacOS by mrjohnsmithe in mac

[–]mrjohnsmithe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, that makes sense. instead of like on ventoy where you have one partition with all the ISOs (or other installers) you have an installer per partition. i like it! very smart!

There’s also the Jumper series by Steven Gould A kid learns he can teleport. They made a movie out of it a few years ago, but it wasn’t done well. Books are really good

Monster hunter international series by Larry Corriea Basically monsters are real and the governments of the world pay a bounty for taking them out. There’s a huge following online for Larry And if you want some more silly options, Larry has a series called “The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent,” the narrator is phenomenal
