I believe there’s also some dashboard touchscreens you can separately buy that use CarPlay.

So for now, using one of those instead of the system built into the car is a potential way to circumvent automakers that are keeping your data/texts.

At least if you want the benefits of using a dashboard touchscreen that your phone connects to.

They are pretty much the sole reason I still use instagram daily. Fantastic content

Yeah at my alma mater the “dining dollars” only covered pretty overpriced crap.

My degree program -> required to be full time and live on campus in specific dorm buildings-> the specific dorm buildings required you to purchase one of the two highest meal plans.

So just to complete specific programs you had to spend $1,000+ a semester on a meal plan for pretty terrible food that you would never see the value of, even if you didn’t want it.

And on top of that, you’re likely paying far more for all of it in the long term via student loan interest.

That made it all the more infuriating to me when my limited set amount of “dining dollars” in the plan (usually $100) only covered stuff like a $4 bag of fruit snacks or a $3 snack-sized bag of potato chips. This was back in 2015 too.

For profit higher education is greaaat.

I like this and will probably end up using it for things I can’t find online.

I’ve been building up my collection via buying the content directly on the iTunes store, and am slowly moving copies of everything onto SSDs for long-term. I’m subscribed to cheap charts alerts so I get emails when anything on my wish list is on sale, and basically price watch so I don’t pay full price for anything. You can get pretty custom with the alerts. I haven’t looked in awhile, but there’s also a buy sell trade subreddit for digital codes where people will sell their content really cheap.

For now, I can stream my entire library via the Apple TV app which is pretty convenient. Eventually I’ll want to add more to my actual library/storage that isn’t available via iTunes, so I’ll probably search online and use the method you shared when needed.

Agreed on it being really convenient once you have your library set up. The first month or two felt a little sparse as far as exploring, but once I had a decent base of my favorite content, nothing beats having it consistently there all the time. I don’t miss streaming subscriptions at all.

All my homies love Bernoulli
