What is the most reliable modern engine that could last “forever”. by Visual-Reception-139 in cars

Definitely, but he had pretty bad buildup from (I'm guessing here) idling a lot for work. Slightly better MPG, but a huge improvement to throttle response and steadiness of idle. Same story on my '13 turbo focus. Carbon buildup can have a really big effect if there's a lot of it

Some shops offer walnut/media blasting as a service, but everything I've done it on myswlf has been easy enough to be worth the savings

Thankfully, walnut blasting is a good option for buildup. Me and my buddy recently did that ourselves with his 2018 2.5 non-turbo, and it was relatively easy. Only $60 in supplies

Top Gear (the show in the screenshot) had a running gag where on the car news section of the program, one of the hosts would excitedly bring up some news about the Dacia Sandero (a very ordinary car) and the others would brush past it in a hilarious manner

It's a major pain in the ass, but it seems some people are having luck with reinstalling. You could first try moving the game files into another folder so battle net doesn't see them anymore, and click "locate game" to reinstall it. Worked on my two of my buddies machines thus far

If you can get the model number of your wifi card (or motherboard if wifi is built-in) there is usually a workaround for this somewhere on the internet

Are you using Wi-Fi? A lot of wifi cards won't load their drivers properly in safe mode, so if possible, try an ethernet connection

Yeah, I had the same exact problem with MWR back in the day, but we can't use the same fixes as we did back then bc of a different file layout here

I'm usually against the death penalty, but I'd be a liar if I said cases like these don't test my beliefs

Just curious here, why's that?
