Damn, where does the time go? Can’t believe it’s been over 12 months since the last entry. I really did intend to make this a regular thing this time. Oh well. Shit happens.

Anyway, while I’m here I might as well add something worth adding. So I recently bought a new 2nd hand vehicle; a 2015 AWD, diesel, Ford Territory Titanium to be precise. Now this sucker has all the bells and whistles for a 10 year old Aussie-made Ford–which isn’t necessarily saying much because Ford always seemed to be behind Holden and others in this regard, but I digress–and one of those is the console Media Centre. This bastard is run by Microsoft Sync™2 which is fine but blimey the information for it is sadly lacking in actual details. So here’s what I’ve learnt about using this 10+ year old software in 2025: 1) do not bother trying to use a USB stick larger than 32Gb because it can only read fat32 and no other format [despite what some other sites have claimed], 2) it does not recognise FLAC but it does recognise lossless WMA, 3) the bitrate doesn’t seem to matter but do not try to use a file with a sample rate higher than 44 kHz.
