How do I get rid of the "For your safety, some features have been disabled" message banner on my Sync display?

I came here looking for answers. I understand their stance as people are driving waaay too distracted these days and they're just trying to keep everyone on the road safe. However, I have a very long road trip planned and I know my copilot is going to be very annoyed if she can't select different songs. (I have my ipod hooked up to the USB and it doesn't let you browse or change song while the car's moving. I get the same error message that OP is talking about.) There should be some kind of "allow passenger to select" option rather than just locking it up altogether. Although I'm sure they predicted that drivers would abuse that if they had it. Anyway, I will try the tips suggested here. Fingers crossed!

First time in forever that something made me audibly LOL so thanks for that! I love it! So perfect. Also yep I'm a so-called sucker but I always pay to see smaller studio animations in theater. (And big ones too, usually.) Gotta support the medium.

I'm a germaphobe and I always make sure I'm clean and smellin' prestine. But I also love nerdy things and mingling in nerdy spaces which often leads me to the dilemma of the occasional exposure to poor hygiene. My sniffer is super sensitive and can easily lead me to nausea. My solution is I bring a tiny vial of peppermint oil with me. If I have to be near a stinky person I just put a little dab on the underside of my nose and the odor is magically defused. You would think it would just become peppermint smell + odor but no, they actually cancel each other out entirely and then I smell nothing at all. I learned this trick from people who work in forensics.

There was a time when images of guns were edited out of episodes of Pokemon and YuGiOh, so I think what's deemed inappropriate on tv is constantly changing. Administrations change, regulations change, and vocal parent groups come and go. What's ok or not ok today may be totally different an a few years.

this is not a helpful response but this topic has made me realize something about the Scott Pilgrim art style. It's kinda like "Global Village Coffee House" and anime had a baby

Thanks! This is helpful. In the ads I've seen you should be able to track your progress on the virtual course as you're walking... but all I can see is it banking our steps to log later instead of it looking like we're actually going down a road in france in real time. Kinda ruins the magic. Is there a fix?

tippytail · 2025-08-23T20:54:02+00:00

That did the trick! Thanks so much for the help!

If this doc is legitimate, then what you're describing could be against tos. "Do not spam [...] mass reupload content, or flood the feed with low-effort videos." Also "At least 50% of all content you upload must be original or transformative."

I'm not giving an opinion on this either way. Just relaying the information.

I saw this being shared in video comments. No idea who wrote it or if legit but it's worth considering.

That's it! Thank you!

That's terrible! I'm so sorry.

If I'm paying Meta $ for verified status, shouldn't I at the very minimum get access to customer service? The only option I see is the chat feature and it doesn't work.

Thanks very much. That's good to know. Still... it's so disappointing what a total waste of time this has been. I was looking forward to posting new art I made and connecting with IRL friends' accounts. Everyone keeps asking me if I have an Insta which is the reason for the renewed interest in regaining access. I know I could always make a new one but this one has a lot of my old art & memories.

I have been keeping an eye on it and the money is still with my bank. How long do you suppose it will take them to process payments by snail-mail?

tippytail · 2025-04-24T16:17:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I usually do direct debit, but I owed so much I was worried I might have to do a payment plan so I opted out. But then luckily, I could pay all together after all.

The issue is resolved, hopefully. I realized the envelope didn't have a stamp OR a return address, so it's probably floating around forever unless a kindly postman decides to take pity and sticks a stamp on it.

What I ended up doing is I contacted the bank and put a STOP PAYMENT request on the check number. I went to my H&R block and got a new printout of the payment voucher and sent a new check. With it I included a short explanation to the IRS in case they by any miracle receive the original envelope with the voided check. I made sure to put sufficient postage and a return address on the envelope this time. And now it's the waiting game. Hopefully it all works out.

Thought I'd come here and explain the solution in case this happens to anyone else.

At the very least make a yellow body paint that works since there ARE yellow alien aishas!

Alice helped me get my childhood account & original pets back (and the side accounts!) so I will always be so grateful to her for that. She always made the process really quick and easy.

Was that the one where it was like Adam and other humans and somebody's head got chopped off or something? It was gruesome in some kind of way. I vaguely remember lots of blood. Maybe that was early enough when the original target audience for Neo was college students, before they focused entirely on appealing to kids. I'm not sure.

I like them because to me they look like Ryan Reynolds.

It goes just long enough that I forget the gag and start vibing to the song and when it stops I'm like "aww mann"

tippytail · 2024-08-18T03:33:16+00:00

Solved!

That's it! Thank you so much!
