Not so on some Pixels. Tapping the build number seven times will reveal the developer options are greyed out and not available... Edit: To clarify, under developer options, it will be "OEM Unlocking" that is either available or greyed out, which is not available. I'll post a video of what to...

I will also say that as a novice level techie GrapheneOS makes it very easy to flash a phone. And Google makes it very easy to flash the phone back to the factory operating system. So when it comes time to sell or trade-in the phone, it's easy to have the phone back to the factory original...

Any new phone from the Google store will have Developer options available. If buying used, some sellers will show a picture of the screen with developer options NOT greyed out. If the devolper options IS greyed out, the phone is a no go for GrapheneOS or any other custom ROM. I also know that...

I use GrapheneOS. I recommend getting the newest Pixel you can afford. If not new, check Swappa.com. Just know that carrier "Unlocked" is not the same as a phone with Developer options. You need developer options to flash GrapheneOS so be sure of that. Also there is this quote directly from...

Last summer I had a similar quest to find a dumb TV. Discovered the entry level Insignia and ordered it from Best Buy. You get what you pay for. Was overall disappointed with the TV. I found the build quality to be sub par and the screen interface was slow to respond to commands. I sent it back...

Got my $25 dollar reward card today with no issues. Now just need to pick out a gift card.

Submitted!!! Great timing! I was going to do an oil change this weekend anyways. (y)

In March of 2022, I purchased 4 Jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 from Walmart.com for $24.97ea. For a total cost out-the-door including sales tax, $105.87. Shipped to my doorstep; not setting foot in a store. I then got (2)two $25 dollar Amazon Gift Cards from the Rebate. That equated to...

Nice, but this is a bummer: "Walmart - IN STORE PURCHASES ONLY. ONLINE PURCHASES INELIGIBLE"

Try this... they're calling it "TriangleDB". "Kaspersky recently reported on a new mobile Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaign that specifically targets iOS devices via iMessage..." Read about it here...

I agree, but when one truly understands the implications of metadata collection, it becomes more of a learning curve that's worth the effort.

Enough said...

Because I trade-in my phone every year, paying little out-of-pocket for the newest model. I use the quickest, easiest charger available at the time. That's probably 50/50, wireless/wired charging. Now if my long-term plan entailed keeping my phone like it's a family heirloom, I'd probably be...

Same everything as well. Although, they just added a $1.90 "Cost Recovery Fee" so I'm now paying more than $40. Even then, haven't seen anything cheaper.

I've bought a couple phones off Swappa with great results.

Pure Talk for cell and CenturyLink for internet.

Doing a little foot work here... Costco would charge $186 for a set of Dill sensors programmed. They don't "clone" sensors so I would have to have my summer tires reprogrammed in spring. Said they don't charge for that. Overall that's probably the least upfront cost. Then my local trusted...

I think eventually it will be worth it to invest in the Autel equipment. In the short term, doing a cost/benefit analysis, looking like I'm heading to HF tomorrow to buy the tire tool. I'll buy the tires from DTD and mount them myself. Once mounted, I'll take them to my tire shop OR my Honda...

Did you by chance get a price for that? Four sensors installed? Programmed?

So that's what I was looking at. A TS508 - $279 and a set of Autel TPMS for $119. Just wondering if there was more cost effective solution?
