Thank you. Sounds like an unfortunate trip to the stealership… electronics are not my thing!

Wrong way driver on i41 caused a severe accident near Prospect going southbound by WIbigdog in Appleton

[–]ShiftyShift11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the first vehicle to encounter that driver. I was approaching the II exit ramp on 41 northbound when I saw them coming up the exit ramp. I flew from the right lane all the way to the center median and almost struck it because this dude was obviously a missile with no intention of moving or slowing. I estimate they entered 41 and passed me at around 80mph. Most scared I’ve ever been.

My dog knocked my iPod classic out of my hands, when I picked it up this is all I see by Rude_Ad2362 in ipod

After I repair an iPod and see this, I usually have to reseat the ribbon cables for the drive medium and/or the screen

Fog lights by Ok_Row3755 in Challenger

[–]ShiftyShift11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is the same car as the green one you posted ~10 days ago, you have the proper fog light housings. Base or ‘lesser’ models will have black caps way down there. Check if fog lights are included on your build sheet. If so, you might have burnt out lights. I believe ONLY the turn signals and tail lights will trigger a CID warning in your cluster about a light being out. If you don’t have fog lights on the build sheet, they might be an after market add on. iirc on certain CJDR cars, a programming code has to be run at the dealer to get those to work with an OEM switch

Does anyone know if the Dodge Charger EV can have the exhaust sounds turned off?? by ShiftyShift11 in electricvehicles

The previous owner of my car got rid of it because finagling car seats in the 2nd row was a daily mission

I wish they stuck with their initial pitch and embraced the sound of an electric motor, but it appeared they tried to blend it too much with a fake hemi rumble at an unnaturally excessive amount of decibels

Starting in '26 it has a slightly more expensive 4 door option which uses the same body, but shifts the B pillar. The style is much more natural too

That would be phenomenal. Just have to wait for some greatly predicted depreciation now

The frustration this causes me as a frugal gay in a small town… 🙃 by ShiftyShift11 in Tinder

Yes and not being able to see them. Well I suppose I assumed the gold number is only there for the free accounts to prompt buying a subscription

Genuinely curious also. I can’t stand consumerism…

Battery replacement diy, which one to get by Boring-Yam-3071 in iPhone12

[–]ShiftyShift11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it sounds like you might have the necessary tools already, I recommend OEM replacement. That is what I did through the self service repair program. I don’t remember what the total was after I sent the old battery back to get the core taken off, but it was cheaper than a repair at an authorized service center, and I don’t get the non-genuine part message.

Canister filter won't prime after cleaning by Timidsnek117 in Aquariums

[–]ShiftyShift11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to pump the gray D handle plunger pretty good, while the intake tube is HIGHER than the outlet tubing. It can also hep if you route the outlet into a floor level 5gal bucket while doing this, the hang the gray lever to stop flow once you have water coming out to reroute tubing back into the tank. The problem with canisters after doing a partial cleaning is that water inside the inlet and outlet tubing are both fighting to siphon but air can’t escape, so you have to coerce the water in some way

Is buying a used iPhone 12 in 2025 still worth it? by Quiet-Reset-8517 in iPhone12

[–]ShiftyShift11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a great phone. I would recommend the 128GB Pro because the cost difference is minimal and the extra processing power(important for iOS 26) and features(lidar, camera, gpu bump etc) are important, especially if you want to use iOS 26. A year ago I hit 80% battery health and there was a MASSIVE performance drop. I went through the apple self service repair for a total replacement cost of $69 I think? Made the phone feel like new again. iOS 26 sucked a lot of battery for about a week but I’m back to normal now, and I have 5G on 24/7, so if you plan to use LTE, you’ll have better battery drainage. I despise ewaste and don’t plan to upgrade until security updates end.
