people always say not to do it, especially on older cars, but i've never really understood what part is getting abused
if the steering system is strong enough to turn the wheels while driving, why is turning them while the car isn't moving such a big deal?
not a mechanical problem, more just curious. engine sounds noticeably different on cold mornings compared to after it's been running a while, and I have no idea if that's just normal physics or something I should actually pay attention to.
feels like a dumb question but genuinely never understood the "why" behind it despite driving for over a decade at this point
The storage screen can show that a large amount of space is being used, but finding exactly where that space went isn't always straightforward
Apps can store offline files, cached media, downloads, backups, and other data that doesn't always appear clearly in one place
Is there a good built-in way to audit storage usage, or do most people use a separate file manager for this?
Looking for the simplest method that doesn't involve rooting the phone.
been playing mobile games casually for years, mostly stuff i can pick up for 10 minutes while my kids are doing homework, and lately the price of just existing in these games feels like it went up without anyone making an announcement about it.
not talking about the obvious gacha stuff. im talking about games that used to have a reasonable one time purchase or a small battle pass and now its like three separate subscription tiers, a seasonal currency, and a separate premium currency that doesnt convert to anything useful. its a whole spreadsheet situation and im tired.
what gets me is the games that hide it well at first. you play for a week, things feel fine, then suddenly theres a wall and the only way around it is a 12.99 monthly thing on top of what you already bought. is this more common now or did i just start paying attention.
genuinely curious what games people here have found that are either actually free or have a fair one time cost with no ongoing pressure. not looking for a top 10 list, just real ones that people actually play.
