I know there has been a massive recall, they've extended the warranties, and they've upgraded the knock sensor to detect when the engine's about to blow up... But they claim this is all related to a manufacturing defect that left metal debris in the engine.

Let's say that's true, outside of that giant problem is the engine itself an okay design? Would it be a good engine had they not had this debris problem?

I assume if your engine blows up and they replace it for free, the new engines they're building don't have the metal debris problem?

My 03 Sonata lasted 325k miles without any serious transmission or engine problems, so when I was in an accident and had to buy a new car immediately, I

I currently have the TaoTronics Soundliberty 79 because I read from several YouTubers and bloggers that it has one of the best microphones. I would agree, it has a great microphone and I've never had any complaints on phone calls.

But... the battery is starting to crap hour and it's only like 10 months old. Sometimes the connection between the buds glitches out and the left and right channel aren't in sync. I don't like that you can't turn off the buds without putting them in the case. Worst of all - I've never been able to get them to fit right. It's fine when I'm seated, but even walking I have to constantly readjust them. The wingtips provided are too small to actually work in my big ear

We give our users iPhones. They signin with a an Apple ID they create using their corporate email.

A few years ago this was fine. We have access to their corporate email, so when they left the company we would send an Apple ID password reset to their corporate email, login with their Apple ID and wipe the phone for the next user.

Then Apple changed the way password resets work. You can't just reset an Apple ID with an email. You have to have access to the phone itself. If the user doesn't tell us the PIN then there is no way for us to get in.

So now if we don't know the phone PIN and Apple ID password we have to do this...

1. Wipe the phone.
2. It's now device locked to the Apple ID -

My grandmother is getting up there in age. She had Google Speakers before, but I really wanted Amazon's Drop in feature so that I can call her if she is not answering (Duo calling on Google devices requires you to manually answer). I just picked up an Echo Show 10 for the living room, a Dot for the kitchen, and a dot for her bedroom.

Problems...

I want to be able to drop in on all of her devices.

-- If I'm not in her household there doesn't seem to be a way to select which device I drop in on, it always goes to the Echo Show 10.

-- I can't add her to my household, I already have two adults.

-- I tried to add myself to her household. It doesn't give me any error messages, but it doesn

Our CUCM is integrated with AD.

In AD my number is 1234.

In CUCM my number is actually 4567.

When I go to Users in CUCM and search for myself, my number appears as 1234 (pulling from LDAP). When I search the corporate address book on a my phone, my number is 1234. The only way I've found to correct this is to go into Active Directory and change my number there.

Is there anyway to prevent CUCM from pulling and using the LDAP phone number and instead just auto populate whatever number that user is associated with in CUCM?

I don't care about thinness, the screen, battery life, build quality, etc... the only thing I care about is performance. At least 8 GB of RAM and a CPU that isn't super slow.

So far I've found...

https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/9008531/Lenovo-IdeaPad-L340-Laptop-156-Screen/

Is the i3 8145 that much slower compared to the i5 8250? If not, I'm leaning toward the Ideapad because it visually looks less cheap to me.

Any other laptops in that range? Everything else I've found uses an AMD A9 or A12, as far as I know that's much slower than the I3.

I live in the US.

I'm looking for something probably impossible...

• <50k miles
• <5 years old
• Very reliable
• <=$10k
• Large enough for a big 6' 3" guy

Due to reliable I've scratched off the following...

• Anything Chrysler/Fiat, Smart
• Focus and Fiesta - Dual clutch transmission involved in class action lawsuits. Ford is extending the warranties.
• Anything with a CVT, but especially Nissan CVTs
• Anything with a Turbo - Unnecessary added complexity, another part to break.
• Try to avoid GDI - Not a game stopper, but carbon build up and added complexity

Here is what I've researched and looked at so far...

Soul - Can't find any in this price range (Occasionally see 2013 base Souls at t

I'm looking for an Android phone that...

Required:

• Is around 5"
• Supports T-Mobile's Band 12, VoLTE
• Has NFC (I used Android Pay all of the time now)
• Has 32 GB of storage
• Is around or less than $300

Would be nice to have:

• Waterproof
• T-Mobile's Wifi calling
• USB-C

I don't care about the CPU, camera, or screen quality/resolution.

The only phone I've found that meets this criteria, although it's $350 instead of <$300, is the Moto X4. I'm not sure I want to buy a phone this late into it's life cycle.

Specs...

OS: Windows 10 Home
Mobo: ASRock B350 Pro4
CPU: Ryzen 1700
RAM: Unknown, but looks cheap 16 GB (I didn't build this PC)
GPU: Zotac GTX 1070

Problem...

Jan 3 - Bought the computer and fresh installed Windows 10 (was loaded with crapware)

Since then I've had a few crashes:

• ? Playing PUBG hard crash (no BSOD, just the screen went blank and audio froze)
• ? Playing PUBG hard crash (no BSOD, just the screen went blank and audio froze)
• ? Playing PUBG BSOD (didn't record what the error was)

Upgraded BIOS from really old 2.6 to Newest / Upgraded GPU drivers

• Feb 13 - Playing PUBG BSOD - "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"

Ran Windows memory test (standard) - Passed

• Mar 4 - Using

My grandmother got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10 about three years ago. In three years it's received two updates. The first update was just some sort of security patch. The second update was to Lollipop (from 4.4 to 5.0).

I'm looking for new tablets. I don't want to buy a tablet that's never updated and I don't want to spend $600 on a Pixel C (might as well buy a Surface Pro at that price).

Are there any tablets out there that get updated regularly? Is Samsung better on their newer tablets?

I bought a couple of the $40 Verizon E4s to give to some relatives that have old 8gb prepaid phones.

When people say the bootloader can't be unlocked do they mean can't be unlocked easily via Moto's unlock system or can't be unlocked period via any means?

If it can't be unlocked how bad is Verizon with updates? I saw that Sprint released a July security update, but my phones have something pretty old like May. Will I still get updates if my phone is (SIM) unlocked and not on Verizon?

2003 Hyundai Sonata LX V6 @ 285k miles - Seems to be semi popping out of drive at stop lights.

If the car is moving forward at all - No problems.

If the car comes to a complete stop, like at a stop sign or stop light, it sometimes sort of pops out of drive. The "sort of" means that the car no longer is drifting forward and it feels like it's in neutral. If I'm in a slight incline the car will start to roll backwards. As soon as I press the gas hard enough it seems to pop back into drive, I can feel a jolt and sometimes the tires squeal.

If I notice I'm in this neutralish state shifting to neutral and back to drive makes it feel like it's in drive again.

I noticed this once a few a w
