I program mine to run less when we’re not home. On top of that I set a “super cool” routine on weekends when it’s going to be hot outside.
You see, the a/c is most efficient when it’s cooler already. So in the last hour of darkness in the summer I set it to run down to 68 or so. Then it doesn’t have to run as long to do that. Then it doesn’t have to run again for several hours as the temperature is set back to 72.
I also clean the outside coils annually and put up a sun sail so that the outside unit is shaded all day. This has helped save a lot of money along with the thermostat programming.
I have a lawyer for the criminal case, unfortunately without evidence, there’s not much to be done. If under questioning, the officer states that he did review the footage, then I can assume that he did do something. If the recording is unedited, then my phone was theoretically locked when they grabbed it since it stopped before they got there, so my phone should have been locked by then. Unfortunately, any chance to ask questions will be weeks away from now.
I think I’m still going to poke around and see if I can find some workaround to get it rooted without wiping. I know that there are more robust tools out there that the police and governments have that allow them to do it. They always say there’s no way to delete something, so there are ways they just aren’t widely available.
“lifetime” fluid doesn’t mean what you think it does. It means the lifetime of the transmission, which will fail if you don’t change the fluid at some point.
Any time a manufacturer has said that it has turned out to be b.s. and someone figures out that some off the shelf fluid works better than the stuff they put in at the factory.
Friend had an insight with oil consumption issues, so not those either.
