I'm the owner of a 2020 Volvo V60 that has been at Waterloo Volvo since March of this year, racking up an increasingly terrifying bill of various parts and wiring harnesses all ordered one after the other from Sweden.
Despite my frustrations with their shop, they have been very good about keeping me in a revolving door of 2025 and 2026 loaner cars, especially the XC40 and XC60. Despite the occasional glitched audio or freezing bugs, I think they really have done a good job with the Android Automotive integration. It's nice having it logged in and able to see my Google Maps search history, but without having to actually have my phone on me or plugged in for CarPlay. For example, if another family member borrows the car and all that stuff just works for them too without them having to separately configure their phone.
I would be nervous about how well it all will be supported over the long term, especially once these cars are >4yrs old and off lease. But at that point you can always fall back to projection.
> Patreon for memberships, Ko-fi for tips, Discord for community, Gumroad for selling stuff, and the list goes on. We thought there had to be a better way.
Yeah, the better way is ditch Ko-fi or Patreon and Gumroad because using 3 platforms when 1 of them can do it all isn't sane. You're basically like "instead of having to buy 3 cars - one for groceries, one for errands, one for work. Buy our car, it can do it all!" when 1 of other cars can also do all that just fine.
Patreon has memberships, chatting and a shop (which you can also use for tips)
Ko-fi also has memberships, chatting, tips and a shop.
And both also have the option of connecting Discord.
Like, cool that you're making a competitor but that's a weird way to market it.
What's going on here? The site talks about tracking gift cards, you're talking about people, CRMs, personal relationships and keeping in touch with people?

I submitted the problem a lot of people are experiencing in this exact thread. Here's some insights from your AI, maybe you can implement the solutions it suggested.
Historically, it was a rather famous page. It's a watchblog by the German security expert Felix Von Leitner. It exists since 2005, but since May this year, he didn't write anything until one new entry that you can see here: http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202512
