My first car was a 1991 VW Fox. For it's age it held up well, never leaked oil, but definitely had a decent set of issues. My favorites were loosing the linkage on my way to a breakfast date, and blowing my coolant hose up as I was arriving at the local sledding hill. Luckily there was a house next to the hill and the guy saw the smoke coming from under the hood and got us some duct tape to piece it together to get home, and I had water bottles in the back. Still my all time favorite car but I couldn't get it to pass inspection because of the frame damage from the rust belt.

Briefly had a 2008 Subaru Impreza, but that's my dads car now. Previous owner jumped it backwards and blew the TCU and destroyed the transmission. We swapped those out, which was the easiest swap I've ever done on a car; bar from dropping the transmission from the jack onto my hand. Last I heard my dad recently replaced the shocks on it.

My current car is a 2010 Jetta that has a massive oil leak, I just keep it topped up and 5 quarts of oil in my trunk, gotta be damage to the filter housing and I have a new one but I've put off doing it for like a year now. I also blew a tranny about a year after owning it, then I also lost the transmission in the car ;) (My dad hates this joke lol) The previous owners took it to AAMCO and the gear oil had been grossly underfilled. Swapped that out and it's been running great since. In hindsight I should've done the filter housing at the same time as the transmission but I still thought it might've been the vacuum pump seal and replaced the gasket on that before learning it wasn't. It was leaking a bit anyway so I'm glad I did.

Flipping through the reviews, looks like they learned nothing from FS2020. Everyone still stuck in download simulator. If you've purchased this and gone over the 2 hour mark steam support is usually really quite lenient. I had about 10 hours in menu for FS2020 when I finally called it.

I had a CRT as our family's main TV until 2017

I'm using the stick pixel os (rooted) and keep my bootloader locked with this https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot

I recognized the skeleton before I even saw the post title

I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

Removes the ability to zoom between the lenses. I welcome the change, I've had experiences where I'd want to be at 5x zoom and would accidently flip down to 4.9x and swap lenses.

This is an optional setting in the "pro" tab in Google camera

Factory reset protection. It'll ask the last Google account logged into a device before you can set it up if it's not reset from the OS (recovery).

It's a Google service that does this, so it's kinda stuck on top of android, no matter which phone it is, including pixels. It's been super trivial to disable this service for long enough to get past setup, where you can then sign in with any Google account and the device will function as normal.

iCloud locks however prevent the phone from going past the setup screen if you don't have the previous login. This is baked deep into the OS, and while it can be removed with a jailbreak, it's near impossible to jailbreak it before getting past setup.

You can actually just enter "a" for username & password, don't even have to make it look like an email

If I remember right, neo backup was in its infancy when I was looking. Will have to revisit. Swift Backup was already established

I did this to a PNY drive once and they RMAd it for me! I was up front and said it was 100% my fault and I had already had it for a few years. If you've got a laptop that has a mounted slot you can probably slide it in to get any data you need off of it
