Just got my Dudu7 setup

Going to be spending the next few weeks learning what this bad boy can do. Wondering if anyone had any tips or learnings that made their experience any better?

So I just purchased a 2017 Forester XT Premium

One of the first things I want to do is get a new modern head unit. I’m tossing up between a Dudu7 and a Teyes CC4 Pro. I don’t mind paying extra for quality as my last cars’ unit was super slow and drove me mad.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for these products or something similar?

My main preferences are something that has a good handshake with the car’s OS features while also being reliable and won’t crap out after 6-12 months. Anything else is a bonus

Cheers!

I just purchased a 2017 Subaru forester and I’m having trouble deciding between the 2 head units

I don’t mind paying for quality as my last car had a very slow and painful head unit that drove me nuts.

I’m not too fussed on slight audio quality differences mainly on performance, longevity and that it will have a clean handshake with all of my forester’s features. I.e eyesight, lane assist etc

Anyone have any experience or done their own research on the two?

So, my wife WFH every day. She has a great job working in insurance and spends most of the day baking and about 2-3 hours answering emails and calls. She's super efficient and finishes all of her work before midday so she can get into what she loves most - baking.

When we met she never really had any hobbies and I always pushed her to get into something. I've got ADHD so as you can imagine I have a tonne of interests and am always bouncing around finding something new to get obsessed with. During Covid we really got into watching MasterChef and so she decided to start dipping her toes into baking as I'm sure a lot of people did.

Fast forward to now and we now have a spare room dedicated entirely to all of her baking equipment. I'd say there's maybe $50k NZD worth of stuff in there. Ranging from cake mixers, thermomixes, a tonne of different baking trays and containers etc. Because she works from home I don't see most of the stuff she orders online arriving. What started as a small shelf quickly evolved into me having to buy 4 heavy duty shelving units to hold everything.

Anyway, in our country, the prices of certain things have skyrocketed in recent 1-2 years. Butter and eggs have become somewhat of a delicacy. Our fridge is constantly full of butter and baking goods. She bakes a lot, and before you ask no I don't eat it that often. I recently lost 20kg and one of the big things that helped me do this was being firm with not eating the baking lol our housemates however love it. I work in the office 4 days a week and it's to the point now where it's my morning routine to grab whatever baking she's done to take with me into the office for my workmates to eat.

Recently, one of my workmates asked her to cater for his baby shower and placed an order of $100 worth of baking. This morning as I was leaving I asked her what I was taking for him and she presented to me what I would consider to be about $300 worth of baking. Definitely costing us more in ingredients and time than what he was giving us.

AITA for wanting to tell her to slow down on the baking? We're at the point in our lives where we need to be looking at buying a house and settling down but we're constantly working our way out of debt and I really think a big portion of it is baking purchases racking up on our credit card. We share finances but as she setup our credit card I can't actually see her transactions only my own. I'm happy she's found a hobby she enjoys but I'm worried I'm going to sound unsupportive by talking to her about this.

TL;DR - My wife spends a tonne of money on baking goods and equipment and I'm thinking about talking to her about slowing way down and possibly setting a budget.
