I took a similar approach to this article on the MMI software for my 2021 Q5.

partial emulation of the user space on a near equivalent kernel. java backend w/ angular frontend for the UI.

I was exploring ripping out this terrible workflow of not being able to change the user profile unless the car is started, which means I'm often stuck craming myself into my wife's seat preset to star the car lol.

the f/w uses dm-verity however so I'm not sure what flashing would entail. I'm also afraid to try.

I'd rather try to get privilege escalation on the car itself.

this was maybe a few hours one evening.

What kind of "Remote" would one use to mimic say an Android TV box or normal cable company Set-Top experience?

Asus has had some of the worst naming conventions on their laptop over the years.

Good luck figuring out which Zenbook UX3XX compares to which, with every configuration under the moon available.

I was a fan of Wunderlist until MS scooped them up and churned out To-do.

I ended up moving to Google Notes. I mainly use the widget as a way to keep myself reminded of things I want to do (with no deadline). My GF and I share a note for Groceries which works well.

Too little to late 4 me sry MS. Lack of alphabetically sorting my list was enough for me to switch.

I have about 2 years of work experience due to co-op, and a previous relevant job prior to co-op.

I'm thinking about 4 months to decompress.
