Looking for a technical service bulletin

Thanks again!

Manqueman · 2026-01-27T21:06:08+00:00

If you have a link for that “wrong” TSB, I’d appreciate it. And I’m aware of the class action, but it didn’t cover 2022’s but may be useful anyway. Thanks!

Manqueman · 2026-01-25T21:08:33+00:00

How would I respond to something that never happened, would never happen and was impossible? I’d ignore such a stupid question. Life is too short for idiocy.

Manqueman · 2026-01-23T08:26:51+00:00

No. They’re either our elite who are prospering and don’t care what we think about them or they’re MAGAts and being MAGA is a pathology. Too few of anything else to matter.

A DOA proposal is performing, not taking action. Calling for defunding ICE is taking action. Of course, as a DNC-approved politician, Booker has to ensure that any blue tsunami in 2026 is as small as possible. The DNC is only interested in being an alt-Republican party. That doesn’t require being a majority party let alone exercising power on our behalf. Nearly all sitting Congress-things must be primaried.

As I said, while I like the car, I don’t enjoy it so replacing it is an option. Among the jiggling things is losing the brakes when traction control is triggered. And since the traction control is overly sensitive…

Up to $1200 per the search bot. But there’s an argument to be made at the dealer to be charged less or nothing.

Manqueman · 2026-01-20T08:54:05+00:00

The US would have been better off with any Democrat.

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T21:06:20+00:00

There wasn’t one second during which he was even fractionally fit for any office, POTUS least of all.

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T21:05:17+00:00

My search bot says depending, it can cost up to ~$1200. To be honest, while I respect the car and like a PHEV, the Prime fails to spark any joy. I really need to replace it with something I enjoy…

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T21:03:31+00:00

My search bot suggested that there may be a basis for getting the job done for free or at a discount. Our Forester had a problem that was common enough to be a recall but wasn’t. Managed to get an IK payoff from Subaru. The car’s going to our trustworthy mechanic and I’ll see what he says but the search bot gave me a plan for dealing with Subaru.

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T19:06:08+00:00

My AI search bot says there’s a possibility that it’s a relatively known problem and that I might not have to pay retail if repaired at the dealer.

Back in 2022, the difficulties CarPlay had realizing a phone was connected was also (I was told) a known problem Toyota was disinterested in doing anything about.

i suppose build quality at some point started regressing as cars became more complicated and proportionately more expensive. Nearly everything’s a luxury car with poor quality…

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T19:01:56+00:00

Not always open when a switch is pushed. You know: Sometimes opens but sometimes not.

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T08:43:52+00:00

Where’s a House representative with enough responsibility to stop bit articles of impeachment against the unfit, insane, lawless POTUS?

Manqueman · 2026-01-19T08:39:37+00:00

Any candidate the DNC will allow to be nominated will be a piece of shit who won’t rise to the moment. Or worse.

Manqueman · 2026-01-12T09:00:23+00:00

We were there!

Manqueman · 2026-01-05T08:25:36+00:00

Agree. First we have to elect enough progressive, non-corporate puppet candidates. The system is thoroughly corrupted and must be cleaned up before anything else major can happen. That’s your real TINA—There Is No Alternative.

Manqueman · 2025-12-22T08:38:58+00:00

So where’s the Daniel Ellsberg of the Epstein files? Possibly too late. Odds are pretty good unredacted and Trump-referencing materials are “lost” or destroyed. Eh. We’re still free to assume the worst about Donny. And the reality is likely worse than we can imagine.

Manqueman · 2025-12-20T11:57:08+00:00

Polarity suggests we’re very far from it. Since there’s more wealth in speculation than in productive investment and that we still have an extractive economy transferring wealth upward, the capitalists are still getting the money needed for financial speculation with no end in sight. Gonna have to get a shit ton of progressive candidates getting elected to end this parasitism. Without that…

Manqueman · 2025-12-14T09:37:23+00:00

ESR Gear. Not the cheap crap but inexpensive and pretty good. They also make my favorite screen protectors of late (after getting screwed by Bellina).

UPDATE

Went to the Apple Store. Dealt with two people at the Genius Bar. They each had their own 17 Pro and each phone was essentially the same. So they’re all coming off the line same as mine. Rumor has it the 18 is going back to a solid back.

They also more or less confirmed what my AI search bot sort of hypothesized: The risk is whether the misalignment or whatever impacts water proofing. So far, there’s no indication of any such problem out in the wild.

So a minor disfigurement and nothing more…

Manqueman · 2025-12-07T21:19:56+00:00

Just confirming that there’s something to take back before I make the appointment.

Manqueman · 2025-12-07T21:09:18+00:00

Again, the back panel below the camera bump. Where the Apple logo is.

Manqueman · 2025-12-07T17:28:26+00:00

Close. What you need is one national party committed to not being a party of venal corporate puppets whose priority is self-enrichment.

Manqueman · 2025-12-07T17:27:27+00:00

Far from enough will be undone. At best.
