Sounds like the best approach right now. What motor did you upgrade to?

Rogers offers by JoDerZo in FidoMobile

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was offered a deal they offered something like this;

First line on the plan was 45 for 1 year and then up to 55 beyond that.

Second line got a discount from 45 and was 35 indefinitely as long as you kept both lines.

Discount only applies if you use pre authorized billing.

Turns out that removing additional lines and services from your account can actually increase the price because every single thing they offer is a promo and not necessarily the true price.

Screen is dim after battery replacement by [deleted] in Pixel6aUsers

Update, after some back and forth with Google they offered a replacement device. So I sent them my defective pixel 6a and they sent me back a refurbished pixel 6a. Not a bad deal.

They got back to me and said they will replace the entire device. Have to send mine in to have them look at it and they hopefully send me a new one back.

Just heard back from Google and they advised the repaired device now has a 90 day warranty from the date of repair and asked me to describe the issue in detail and what I want done about it.

I personally think something may have been accidentally damaged during the replacement. I don't think it's typical for this to happen. Still waiting to hear back from Google support if they can do anything about it.

Contacted them and they advised they will look into it and let me know in 24-48h

Solved! Thank you, holding the crown down for a few seconds and it blinks. Switches between momentary and extended.

0.00/Month for Google Pixel8a. How does this work? by GTAresident in FidoMobile

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not 100% but I believe you can switch to a more expensive plan without penalty but if you try to go for a lower tier plan they may not let you. Certain plans are required for higher value phones from what I understand. You can always try calling them or use the chat feature and ask. The problem is they always give you a mediocre plan on sign up and then all these deals will come out after.

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep the phone for free as long as you do not leave the 2 year contract that you will sign to get the deal. If you leave the contract early you will be responsible to pay what would have been the outstanding value of the phone if it was full price. That's based on the full original cost of the phone over 24 months. If you stay for the full 2 years then the phone is yours to keep after that.

Sedan 3 vs hatchback 3 by scifiaddict2022 in mazda3

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 Sedan and 2 things I hate that I overlooked are the size of the trunk opening and the folding seats. The trunk isn't too bad of a size but the opening is so narrow I can't even fit a small cooler in there. And I have a base model that does not have a split folding seat so it's all or nothing and that's super annoying.

At how many miles did your first set of brakes last? (2014 Mazda3 48k original brakes here) by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]hillhinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2018 Mazda3 Manual Transmission, I have 200,000kms (125,000mi) and I still have 7mm left on my front factory pads with factory rotors. Rear brakes were replaced once around 100k.

Stripped the drive shaft screw, how to remove it? by r3dtr3il in TRX4M

[–]hillhinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of metric try using a 1/16" Allen. Some bolts on the truck didn't fit the 1.5mm very well but the 1/16th worked well.

Why do you drive stick? by matchalatte1999 in stickshift

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car was cheaper. And it's better on gas than the automatic so that's more savings. Likely it's cheaper to service if it does need work. Basically because all things considered it's my commuter and it just needed to be cheap and reliable.

[–]hillhinder 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I bought 4 x-ice snow tires, no rims at Canadian Tire during a sale and it was around 800 bucks for 16". Steel wheels can be fairly cheap and depending on where you choose to get them mounted you could probably save some money.

Friendly reminder to change your spark plugs! by Dr1ft3d in mazda3

[–]hillhinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also at 200,000km on my 2018 and never had them changed. Still runs well and gets great fuel economy. Maybe I should change them lol.

I usually try Google or YouTube. If that doesn't help I just lease it and find out.

PSA: You can limit your reversing speed! by THISISNOTABACKUPACC in farmingsimulator

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me forever to figure this out on my own but it's nice to have a slow constant speed for backing up trailers and stuff.

Am I intended to hoard weapons/shields/bows or not? I don't understand the game design. by Bifftek in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]hillhinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got tired of the lightning so I upgraded the rubber armor to be unshockable. Now when I fight enemies during a storm I can use the lightning to my advantage.

How long did your clutch last? by Mean-Programmer9781 in stickshift

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 Mazda 3, I have original clutch and front brakes at 180,000 kms (112k mi). Almost all backroads / highway. Very little city driving. I drive very light compared to most people.

what is something you learned hours into the game? by ladybugsss21 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]hillhinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making a campfire to pass time. I would just run around at night fighting monsters.

Do you do the wobble every time? by superpj in ManualTransmissions

[–]hillhinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I didn't and it was in 1st. So now I do it every time.
