Hi all, I just want some advice on how my CV looks. Be harsh and don't sugar coat nothing, that's the only way I could fix it up and land a proper job.

So finally I can truly appreciate Poweramp after years that I've actually bought it and did not keep on using because UAPP was better till the latest beta of Poweramp. I've even bought a nice skin now.
Currently my highest end headphone is my Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e and for a bit more portable approach I'm using the CMF Buds 2 and for curiosity and exploration in the high fidelity audio world I bought a small cheap Girftu USB-C external DAC that uses the CX31993 32Bit audio chip.
Now regarding the Poweramp fidelity score to my experience and current testing does not determine at all how the music sounds in your ear, it's more about how many data is being transfered from the music files through the path to reach your output device* (I could be wrong here also). Since my Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e headphones only support the APTx HD Bluetooth Codec and the cheaper CMF earbuds supports the LDAC Bluetooth Codec thus naturally more data could be transferred to them between the audio patch but that mean nothing because the Bowers & Wilkins have bigger drivers and more premium materials inside to offer a better sound quality regardless the lower Bluetooth Codec.
My music files are in FLAC format anything higher is useless for my current mid range gear.
I will be sharing my findings with the external Girftu DAC and my Bowers & Wilkins Px7 own internal DAC that can be accessed using it directly the USB-C connection (that's why I was using (UAPP) before.
So my take here? Just forget about the fidelity score don't stress about it, and make sure your bit perfect mode path is well configured and enjoy your music!!! 🎧

Request to display Bluetooth Codec info just like the bit perfect icon when it's being used.
I was playing with Poweramp new bit perfect option and I was bit jealous of this perfect view of the audio path being displayed with even the Bluetooth Codec info, I'm sure it would be a small but appreciated update for us also.
That's it, hopefully someone from the development team see this post.

Update to my previous post about my stuck shifter lever.
Here is the link to my previous post
https://www.reddit.com/r/cruze/s/glLUrs6448
I bough a new battery and that did solve the low speed can bus code, bur I feel ashamed the issue was just a broken shifter linkage point. Picture attached. For the time being I've used a bit of super glue given it's plastic to plastic contact and I'm going to check online to order a few of the rubber brushing (that's what it's called right?) I will wait till the super glue strength runs out to properly fix it when the shipment arrives.
Now to proceed to super clean the interior of the car. Just wants to share my shameful moments and update with you all.

Shift lever stuck in "R" manual overwrite by the side panel with a screwdriver let's me move the lever but the car still says it's in "R" while the lever is in P, also brake pedal feels a bit stiff stuck midway down.
So hi all, as i described in the post header above I'm stuck in this situation at the moment, I had a towing truck bring the car back home I was stranded in the supermarket parking lot (yeah the look of shame of got when my Cruze was getting towed).... as per now the battery is low but I have a battery booster but that clearly is not the problem since it should be enough to start the car(but some posts does seem to say the battery should be in perfect condition to prevent electronic issues with the shifter electronic locks? But the booster should provider suffice voltage for the important components to start the car right?). Thus is my shifting sensor gone bad? I'm not getting any codes when scanning the car with my bluedriver odb2 scanner as per writing this post.
Any one experienced the same issue with there gen2 2017 Cruze?
Any help and tips would be helpful, I got some job interviews to attend this week what a perfect time for the car to start acting up.

Just wanted to share this cool Deepseek news.
This combination would be great for lots of new users and even experience OpenClaw users. I think with 10 USD credit should be enough to experience OpenClaw with deepseek for weeks for soft to intermediate usage. For anything serious the truth is that you will definitely need to pay for something better.

Yesterday I shared my cheap use case with OpenClaw and Deepseek API use, I thought why not share a backup method I'm planning on use and let OpenClaw generate me a short and direct backup document for me to keep on my files.
I'll post the picture of the generated document in first comment bellow.

I’m using a cheap VPS from Hetzner, which costs me about $5/month. To power OpenClaw, I’m currently trying out DeepSeek with just a $5 credit.
So far, I’m really enjoying the experience. I’ve had OpenClaw set up some fun cron job reminders that I receive via my linked Telegram bot. I also updated OpenClaw to the latest version it seems much faster now when starting and stopping the gateway.
For a more advanced setup, I asked OpenClaw to install a Grafana dashboard and configure it to track my DeepSeek API usage and other LLM costs.
**I previously used OpenRouter, but I made the mistake of leaving it on auto mode, which burned through my API credits quickly because it kept selecting high-end models, and yes this is completely my fault for not researching open router first.** That’s why I switched to using DeepSeek directly through their own API/payment setup.
For security, I had OpenClaw harden the VPS and generate a full security inventory (in PDF format) of everything installed, including what might be risky.
Last but not least, I also installed Netdata to monitor the VPS with clean, real time graphs.
BONUS FUN: I even had OpenClaw install a “Jarvis” style voice (more like a fancy butler) that reads out short cron job updates or system info.
All of this is costing me about $1 so far for a few hours of heavy DeepSeek usage. I don’t think I can get it much cheaper than this right now and honestly, I think it’s a great balance.
Feel free to rate my setup, suggest improvements, or recommend even cheaper models than DeepSeek that still perform this well 👏
