Cupholder won't close in a 2017 ES350

Help folks! I have a 2017 that is absolutely perfect...except for the bloody cup holder next to my right arm. Every time I open it, it sticks open and NO amount of pushing on the PUSH sign will cause it to close. I have noticed that it DOES close when left overnight, but something is causing it to hang when driving. Any thoughts from any one? I did a search, and didn't see the problem elsewhere. I really appreciate any info we might have here.

Hey, does anyone know what grass this is?

I've just purchased a house in Austin Texas and have never had anything but St. Augustine. But this isn't that. It isn't common in this part of the country, as I have seen it before, but rarely. Apparently it was planted from seed by the previous owners after they redid the front yard. I really appreciate any help anyone can give me!

OK, Newbie! Help!

Not quite a noob. I have an iPhone and have done Final Cut in the past, but this brand new Apple TV currently staring me in the face has me wondering a couple of things.....

Is there a HOME function, the way there is on Roku? Right now, when watching TV in an app I'm having to back out, back-back-back-back to get back to the home page.

Also, I'm mainly interested in streaming. Got all the apps I need downloaded and up and running. Not really interested in photos, etc., on the home page. Can I delete this stuff I don't want and how? I pressed and held the enter button but didn't see an option for that.

Finally, if I get another of these things, do all the apps automatically download, or is it a complete new setup like I just did?

Really like the box so far, I made the jump because I had a chance to pick up a pre-price increase box. Looking forward to this and the group as well!

Well shoot. Ink on the console.

Well folks, I've got a cream colored console on my ES350 and somehow there's a blue ballpoint ink mark on it. Not large, less than an inch, just enough to make me move heaven and earth to remove it!

Anyone know a safe way to do this? Normally I'd go for alcohol, but I'm concerned that would mess up the material. It's a 2017.

MANY thanks to anyone who has an answer! I appreciate it.

Want SO much to go back to the S10e, but....security?

Frankly, I'm concerned about security. I understand that my favorite phone is no longer getting security patches from Samsung. If this is the case, what are the real effects? Is it something that we need to be aware of? For those of us who still want to use it, what precautions do we need to take to protect ourselves...and what are we protecting ourselves against?

I can live with the phone's other issues, but security is kind of important!

I've got an S22 here, but even it is too large and heavy for my tastes.

Never knew this subreddit existed, or I would have been here LONG ago! I have three of them, all in good operating condition. I'm glad to see that in this world of MASSIVE phones that some folks still have sense!

ONN 4K Pro won't properly start.

Hello folks! I just pulled an ONN 4K Pro out of the closet after not using it for about six months and it is NOT happy.

When I connect it to the TV and boot it, the home screen flashes off and on, never completely stabilizing. I see the outlines of the graphics but they never draw properly. It's not the HDMI hookup or HDMI port, as I've changed both of those. And a second 4K Pro has no trouble working with the same cables and setup.

I've unplugged and restarted it several times. No luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? +

Old radio clubs?

Is there a club in Austin for collectors of old radios? I have a couple from the mid and late 1930s and was just wondering.

Flew out of Brownsville the other day....

...it was really kind of sad. There couldn't have been twenty people in the terminal when we got there. It really was like a trip back to 1980, the last time I was there. There was this sad little sign that said "local airport seeks passengers". I know that Harlingen got a jump on everyone else in the 1970s when McAllen stupidly turned Southwest away. McAllen finally caught up. But what's Brownsville's excuse?

A sad little sign...

Hello? Is anyone there?

Rechargeable remote question

Folks...I've got a rechargeable remote that one of my Ultras reports the battery level as "unknown".

I have an identical setup in the bedroom that reports a percentage.

Has anyone either seen this themselves, or know what causes this?

A used ES350...thoughts on warranties, please?

I'm looking at a 2017 ES350 at a local Lexus dealership. Not certified, but only 38K miles and in immaculate condition, at least as far as appearance is concerned.

I know that when these cars have issues, repairs can be very expensive. This dealership is owned by Penske and they're offering me not the Lexus warranty, but a Penske "Platinum" warranty that's about $2700.

I was wondering if the group had any thoughts on whether this (supposedly) very reliable vehicle actually needed a warranty, whether it was from Lexus or whether it was from a group like Penske.

Thanks for any thoughts you can provide.

It sounds like my bank (Frost Bank, large regional bank in Texas) has had enough of Zelleing scammers. Got this email today, saying that it was clamping down on transfers to first time recipients. It's always had a limit, but as little as $500?

At Frost, your financial security is our top priority. As part of our ongoing efforts to protect customers from fraud, we’re introducing payment amount limits when sending money to new recipients through Zelle^(®)**.

What’s changing

Daily limits for new recipients will be set at either $500 or $1,000. These limits are combined across all your new recipients per day.

If you try sending more than the allowed amount, you’ll receive a message in Frost Online Banking or the Frost App notifying you of the limit. As you build a payment history with a new recipient, your limits may increase over time.

Established recipients won’t be affected — current daily sending limits of $2,000 per recipient will remain the same.

Why it matters

Scammers oftentimes use payment apps to trick people into sending them money. These updates add an extra layer of protection, helping reduce the risk of fraud while still allowing you to send money quickly and conveniently.

I was wondering if anyone here had thoughts on whether such limits were commonplace, or whether my bank is unusually strict with this.
