working in cybersecurity nowadays:

@om_patel5 Do you think he has to plug the watch in every day to keep it alive lmao

THIS GUY TURNED AN OLD SMARTWATCH INTO A DIGITAL SHIFT KNOB FOR HIS 2001 AUDI AND THEN MADE IT EVEN CRAZIER
instead of throwing away an old TicWatch, he 3D printed a custom housing and mounted it on his gear stick
he vibe coded a custom WearOS app that uses the watch's built in accelerometer and gyroscope to read the physical angle of the shift stick and display which gear you're in
the hardest part was driving on hills. going uphill would throw off the angle readings and show random gears. he had to build dynamic calibration into the algorithm so it could adjust in real time
his car is a 2001 audi B5. the old communication protocol is so limited for gear data that building his own accelerometer app was actually easier than pulling from the car's computer
then he went further
he vibe coded an invisible touch spotify controller into the same shift knob
swipe up on the knob to skip a track. swipe down to go back. tap to pause. all using the watch's touch screen while your hand is already on the shifter
no extra buttons, no phone mount, no looking away from the road. your hand is on the shift knob anyway so the controls are right where you need them
the watch also shows whatever is playing via bluetooth between gear changes
3D printed the enclosure, vibe coded the app, and turned e-waste into the coolest car mod on the internet

the craziest part about Cham that nobody talks about is how he actually got into this world. he wasnt born into money or connected to silicon valley at all. he literally just started showing up to tech conferences in like 2008-2009 as a rapper and people thought he was joking. he met Mark Suster at one of these events and they clicked, Suster was building Maker Studios and Cham put in $1.5 million of his own rap money. when Disney bought Maker in 2014 for $500M (with performance bonuses up to $950M) his payout was reportedly over $20 million. thats a 13x return on one bet.
but heres what really separates him. he didnt just get lucky once and coast. he put money into Cruise Automation in 2013 when it was literally a startup nobody heard of. three years later GM buys it for over a billion dollars. then Ring before Amazon scooped it for another billion+. then Lyft before they IPO'd.
in 2015 Upfront Ventures made him their entrepreneur-in-residence which was the first time a rapper had ever held that position at a major VC firm. and instead of just stacking his own bag he started running pitch competitions with E-40 and Daymond John specifically for minority and women founders. gave $100k to a trucking startup called Fleeting that won his competition.
his net worth is estimated around $50 million now and honestly the music money is probably the smallest piece of that. dude said it best in an interview once, he said he walked around the music industry for years and saw alot of rich people but never saw wealthy. got into tech and sees wealthy every single day. thats a fundamentally different understanding of money than 99% of artists ever develop
