I wouldn't consider myself a shoegaze fan, but I am aware of the category and have a few tracks in my rotation -- Catherine Wheel and The Chameleons come to mind.
My long weekend project was to install front & rear dash cams in the new rig. Rather than run them to 12v or USB ports, I picked up a constant power cable that plugs into the OBD-II port. Running the 4m cable through the trim & headliner to the rear camera was quite a project. I had to avoid the rear passenger airbags, and then run it from the headliner through a rubber hose in the hatch hinge that insulates the electrical for the rear wiper & backup camera. There was barely enough cable; 5m would have been much better. Getting a 90° Micro-USB connector through that hatch hose (which was heat-shrunk on the car side with just enough of a hole to work the cable head inside) was a total PITA — it required four hands, a hemostat, and fishing line. Oh, and lots of cursing and hand cramps.
Running the cable through the A-pillar to the front camera wasn’t as bad, but removing the trim was not pleasant. (Removing any trim on a brand new vehicle is fraught.) Now everything is connected to a permanent power supply for parking monitoring.
The only thing that annoys me about the job now that it’s completely done is that the cables are USB-A on the OBD-II end to Micro-USB on the camera end, ensuring I will need to repeat this task whenever the time comes to upgrade the cameras. Anything other than USB-C is completely unsat in 2023.
They do make connection adapters...
I don’t think that’s an excuse for selling products with connections with hardware specs older than most college students. It’s not an amplifier for a home audio system, after all.
Plus, I’d rather not have the cameras’ operation be relying on third-party adapters of unknown quality. It would really stink to need the footage, only to discover an adapter had silently failed.
not providing that as an excuse, just a shortcut for us lazy retrofitters
Still haven't found an umps scorecard for yesterday's game
Not as egregious as some past games.

Add the Padres to the group of teams Diamond Sports isn't paying. They have a joint contract so the current bankruptcy case doesn't apply to them. MLB takes over after today's game so they might only be available on MLB.tv now.
