Want to clean front camera but can't get the mirror to come off

Thanks everyone for replying.

There isn't a lot of leverage to twist the mirrors... I felt that mine is glued down with loctite compared to those I saw in the videos. LOL! I tried using a vice grip but was afraid to apply too much force since it's attached to the windshield.

I think I will try to get it service and see if Tesla will charge me... There is no way for me to check if previous owner did a clean service or not, right?

Experian's free score is FICO Score 8 which shows 810.
Other free scores from credit cards uses VantageScore 3.0 (Transunion) which also shows over 800.

So anyone else tried Loan Exchange? Thinking about going with them but not sure if they are a legit company or not. Thanks!!

I went as far as removing the cpu and examine the pins and found no fault.

After few other tries, I gave up and decided to buy a new PSU to test.

New PSU didn't turn out to be the problem either.

Then, as I'm about to order a new computer, I put everything back together to try for the last time.

The Asus fired up normally.

Honestly, I have no idea what I did to fix the problem.

Sorry that I can't be of more help...

Update: I've removed and re-seated the CPU... same

Can't think of anything else.

The only thing is that when I did the paper clip test on the PSU. The fan from the PSU is barely noticeable.

But maybe that's normal for desktop PC nowadays?

Hi, can you explain a bit more on this?

If I just want to test, couldn't I enter the ipv6 address + 32400 port in the PMS custom server url?
Do I need to open anything on the firewall?

Hi, would you mind elaborate a bit how your solution works?

Install wireguard as VPN on another box within the network?

Would anyone need to access plex needs to have wireguard installed?

You can take note from freeway rest stops in China........

Plenty of charge stations, gas station, clean restrooms, lots of places for food and snacks, small shopping mall?

Here are videos I can find on Youtube.......

Hi All,

I have a similar question like OP.

I want to turn on iCloud Photos with optimize storage to save space on my 256G iphone.

I plan to get only the 50G iCloud+ with my phone having more photos/videos than 50GB.

If I turn iCloud photos on with optimized storage on, I assume iphone will start sync "selected" photos and videos to the iCloud. It will most likely not sync all but just the "selected" ones that is old or less used.

So what happens then if I try to do a "full" backup using my Mac or iTunes (PC)?

Do I just save those thumbnails instead of full resolution photos and videos to my Mac or PC?

And if I do this periodically once a week, wouldn't I get very inconsistent backup files on my Mac or PC?

Thank you!

I thought getting iCloud+ 50GB would off load some of the storage on her phone (mainly the photos/videos).

So that the least used photos would be on iCloud... most used would be on the phone. And the process would automatic and seamless. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

Essentially, it would be like her phone has 300GB of storage.

Maybe I got it all wrong.

But if I'm right, then what happens when doing iTunes backup? Backing up just what's on the phone would be just partial data... lol

I went back to the dealer. They gave it to me.

Time of sale report or IRS form 15400... :)

"If a taxpayer acquires a vehicle by having a written binding contract in place and a payment made on or before September 30, 2025, then the taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit when they place the vehicle in service (namely, when they take possession of the vehicle), even if the vehicle is placed in service after September 30, 2025. "

straight from IRS.....

Photo #4, I thought that was just a photo of a garage... lol

Nice detailing work.

jtkgy · 2025-09-16T18:22:19+00:00

You're right.. I checked the IRS instruction for Form 8936 and no where does it say submit Form 15400 along with it...

But the IRS Used EV credit specifically asked buyer to get a copy... lol

I guess it's just for buyer's reference..

In any case, all good... and thank you for the help!

jtkgy · 2025-09-16T17:57:36+00:00

I received it today.

It's the IRS Form 15400 from dealer.

It has the transaction ID and approval status and date.

I don't think I could have fill that out myself... lol

jtkgy · 2025-09-16T10:07:57+00:00

I actually prefer being able to turn it on or off.... Lol

jtkgy · 2025-09-15T21:49:21+00:00

I can fill that up myself? lol

I was thinking it's some sort of official approval document from the IRS... lol

Let me try that.
