I’m looking for graduation gift ideas that aren’t just novelty items or things that end up forgotten after a year. I’d really like to get something practical, well-made, and built to last. My budget is around $150–$200 and I’d prefer something they’ll use regularly rather than something purely decorative or sentimental.
For those who’ve given or received a graduation gift that held up over time, what was it?
I’ve been looking into car coding recently and it’s something I could actually see myself getting into more seriously.
I’m not from a software background but I’m comfortable working on cars and understand how things fit together. What interests me is being able to change or enable certain features, like lighting behavior, comfort settings and other built in functions. The part I’m not clear on is where to start. There seem to be a lot of different tools and software depending on the brand and I’m not sure if it’s better to focus on one platform first or try to learn a bit of everything.
For those who’ve gone down this path, how did you get started with car coding? Did you stick to one brand in the beginning or try to cover multiple?
I swear I’ve switched like 4 times in the last few months. Every time I try a new cheap vps hosting provider thinking ok this one looks decent and then something goes wrong. Either speeds drop randomly or CPU gets throttled hard at peak times
It’s not unusable but it’s just annoying enough to make me look elsewhere again. Kinda exhausting tbh.
Do most people just stick with one and deal with it or is this normal when you’re going the cheap vps hosting route?
