  • I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

    I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn’t catching the screw… a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn’t hardware…

    He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach…

    But this isn’t the end. Oh no.

    When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

    A lot of friends.

    Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

    We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.






  • So my 2023 Limited trim Hyundai Elantra is the same way. (And correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure KIA and Hyundai are more or else ‘the same’ at this point? Made by the same people or something?)

    I ended up getting one of these: AAWireless 2023 - Wireless Android Auto Dongle - https://a.co/d/hXeBrWT

    It’s not ideal but at least it elimates some of the wire mess and my phone itself isn’t physically tethered any where.

    Works pretty solid for me so far.

    My solution is for Android but surely there’s something similar for iPhone out there too?

    Shouldn’t have to jump through hoops for this, especially for higher end models but here we are…
