    Non smart TV

    Last summer I had a similar quest to find a dumb TV. Discovered the entry level Insignia and ordered it from Best Buy. You get what you pay for. Was overall disappointed with the TV. I found the build quality to be sub par and the screen interface was slow to respond to commands. I sent it back...

    PENNZOIL $25 rebate on 10 quarts starts today ( 2/1/24 ) until

    In March of 2022, I purchased 4 Jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 from Walmart.com for $24.97ea. For a total cost out-the-door including sales tax, $105.87. Shipped to my doorstep; not setting foot in a store. I then got (2)two $25 dollar Amazon Gift Cards from the Rebate. That equated to...

    Nice, but this is a bummer: "Walmart - IN STORE PURCHASES ONLY. ONLINE PURCHASES INELIGIBLE"

    iPhone Metadata?

    Try this... they're calling it "TriangleDB". "Kaspersky recently reported on a new mobile Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaign that specifically targets iOS devices via iMessage..." Read about it here...

    iPhone Metadata?

    I agree, but when one truly understands the implications of metadata collection, it becomes more of a learning curve that's worth the effort.

    yay or nay on wireless charging

    Because I trade-in my phone every year, paying little out-of-pocket for the newest model. I use the quickest, easiest charger available at the time. That's probably 50/50, wireless/wired charging. Now if my long-term plan entailed keeping my phone like it's a family heirloom, I'd probably be...

    Puretalk

    Same everything as well. Although, they just added a $1.90 "Cost Recovery Fee" so I'm now paying more than $40. Even then, haven't seen anything cheaper.

    Earn a $20 Gift Card with a qualifying Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil purchase at participating locations. Offer ends 9/30/23

    Overall, this years sales and rebates are a bit disappointing. Better than nothing but still disappointing. Comparing my haul from almost exactly a year ago. I purchased 4 Jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 from Walmart for $24.97ea. For a total cost out-the-door including sales tax, $105.87...

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    Doing a little foot work here... Costco would charge $186 for a set of Dill sensors programmed. They don't "clone" sensors so I would have to have my summer tires reprogrammed in spring. Said they don't charge for that. Overall that's probably the least upfront cost. Then my local trusted...

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    I think eventually it will be worth it to invest in the Autel equipment. In the short term, doing a cost/benefit analysis, looking like I'm heading to HF tomorrow to buy the tire tool. I'll buy the tires from DTD and mount them myself. Once mounted, I'll take them to my tire shop OR my Honda...

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    Did you by chance get a price for that? Four sensors installed? Programmed?

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    So that's what I was looking at. A TS508 - $279 and a set of Autel TPMS for $119. Just wondering if there was more cost effective solution?

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    Does anyone have experiance with Costco in this scenario? As in you purchase your own TPMS sensors and have them install and program them?

    2016 Toyota Sienna TPMS Options?

    If I can buy the Schrader sensors and push a button under the dash, won't have to pay a shop to program them or buy an expensive tool, then that's what I want to do. I'll have to research this further to make sure this is the case.
