I've got a 2008 Outlander XLS which was my wife's truck, but became our spare vehicle. My daughter is (*hopefully*) getting her license on Monday, and I'm giving her the Outlander.

She's **dying** for Apple Car Play, and I'd like to keep the factory head unit (*Nav and the internal HDD, but not a Fosgate system*). I've searched the web and this sub, but everything is either for newer Outlanders, or the entire head unit is replaced which isn't what I want.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an add-on unit or something so I can get Apple Car Play to work through the stock head unit and speakers?

TIA!

Last night [Adult Swim] aired S2E2 - Mortynight Run, which is the episode where Jerry snuck onto Rick's ship and as such, Rick and Morty dropped Jerry off at the Jerryboree. During the scene(s) of the inside of the Jerryboree, we're introduced to Paul Fleishman (Beth's husband in "a" reality where Beth remarries), and a Jerry that is rocking a goatee sans mustache who appears to "run" things there.

In S8E8 - Nomortland, we're introduced to 5 o'clock shadow Jerry, aka Mooch, Paul Fleishman, again, this time with a 5 o'clock, and Boss Jerry who has a regular full grown beard and moustache, not a 5 o'clock shadow. Our Jerry is nicknamed "Eagleman." Throughout the episode, when Boss Jerry blocks Mooch and Eagleman from traveling to alternate dimensions, Boss Jerry sends Mooch and Eagleman back to Mooch's original dimension (where everyone has a 5 o'clock shadow). When Eagleman and Mooch go to Mooch's house, Paul Fleishman answers the door and invites them in as this is "a" universe where Beth remarries.

Am I the only one realizing that S2E2 - Mortynight Run foreshadowed S8E8 - Nomortland? Even the episode and season are extremely similar (S2E2 & S8E8). The only big difference is Boss Jerry. The Jerry from the Jerryboree in S2E2 only had a goatee with no moustache, whereas Boss Jerry in S8E8 has a full beard and moustache. Jerryboree Jerry also only wore a black T-shirt, and Boss Jerry wears a white T-shirt and a black leather jacket.

This would also explain where Boss Jerry got all of the "left behind" Jerrys from (presumably the Jerryboree) that wear the red bandanas. Only thing unanswered is how Boss Jerry got a Rick to be his lesser. 🤔

I've got two (2) DS211j units and a DS413j which I'm using for a small home lab/test environment. Unfortunately neither support DSM 7+, so I can't run Synology Photos.

I'm currently using DS File on my phones (mix of Android and iPhone) which works for the most part, but I'm looking for something more along the lines of Photos. I saw Synology had an app called Moments I think? Anyone here use Moments and if so, how was it?

I'm not sure if I can side load or whatever Photos or not onto either the 211j or the 413j, but to be honest, I'm not really looking at "hacking and whacking" to get Photos installed. I'm always looking for used Synology units so I'm sure I'll find one at a decent price that does support DSM 7+ but until then, I'm stuck with these 3 NAS units and DS File. I do have a few Buffalo TeraStations too, but they (from the super quick search I did) don't have an app like Moments/Photos.

Any suggestions on a better way to backup photos and videos from my phones to either of the Synology NAS units I have or even the TeraStations would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind running an app on each phone, but I'm looking for simplicity.

Last night while watching Season 9, Episode 2 (Rick's Days, Seven Nights), when Rick's leg phone rang I could have sworn I had heard that sound somewhere before. I couldn't stop thinking about where I heard that song/sound before, but it finally hit me around 3 AM this morning when I woke up randomly. The ringtone is one of the songs/submissions from Season 2, Episode 5 (Get Schwifty).

Anyone else catch this and if so, is the ringtone from the Get Schwifty episode? I love the subtle little Easter eggs/things that they incorporate in their episodes.

I've got a friend who is currently over in Japan, and I see that a lot of the "*cooler*" pens are only (*or widely*) available over there. If you guys and gals had the opportunity to have a friend bring you back a pen (*or several*) back to the US from Japan, which ones would you recommend?

I tend to like pens with a smaller tip (*0.35 - .07*) and a thicker barrel (*like the SARASA Grand or a little bigger*). I'm also not looking to spend a fortune nor have my friend run all over the country for me.

TIA!

not sure if the flair selected is the proper flair - apologies in advance

At my previous employer, back when COVID and the lockdowns started, they mandated WFH instead of going into the office. We used our personal PCs, connected to the company VPN, then RDP'd into our work PCs to access our files and company shares.

We were allowed to install O365 on our personal PCs too which was great as my rig needed to be upgraded, so I now had an excuse to justify to the Mrs. why I needed a new, better rig. I bought a brand new machine spec'd for gaming which I setup two profiles on — one for me/personal, and one for work. During this time (WFH), I had changed teams/positions and was given a company laptop and phone which also had O365 installed and activated.

I've since been let go and as such, they Soft Deleted my creds in Entra ID, so I lost access to O365. I want to reinstall O365 on my main rig (I replaced the SSD with all of my work related stuff on it with a better SSD, and did a fresh OS install) as well as on a brand new laptop I just bought which is still in the box. Ideally I'd like to not pay the $99.99/$129.99 a year for O365 while maintaining full access to Outlook and the rest of O365 (I don't really need a lot of OneDrive storage as I have a Synology NAS here at home). Any suggestions on how I can get O365 without paying an arm and a leg would be greatly appreciated! Not really looking at using LibreOffice, or Google Workspace.

(sorry if this is a little long winded as there's a notification suggesting to explain everything in extreme detail.)
