How I tested my new car stereo that can play MiniDisc. Who needs Android Auto anyway?

While most people upgrade their car's stereo to android auto, I'm upgrading to MiniDisc.

CarPlay or Android Auto? Nah MiniDisc Car Stereo.
I don't want my car's console to have a tablet in it. I'd much rather have it play one of the best forms of physical media.

I heard the iPod Clickwheel Games Preservation Project got all of the games on it recently. How hard can having a Windows formatted iPod be?

A friend let me borrow his PS3 to see if I could fix the boot problem it was having and I guess I did, just not in the way I expected.
