Ignition fuse blown, smoke from engine bay

Hey guys, my RX8 randomly died when reversing, the car still had power (lights, horn, etc.) but when I turned the key, ignition didn’t turn on. Ignition fuse (15A) was blown, replaced it, started right up. After a few minutes of idling, died again, same issue, but with a considerable amount of smoke from under the hood. No ignition again. Any ideas what this could be? Alternator? Coils? Had a good look under the hood and nothing was obviously burnt. I don’t know where to even begin with diagnosing the issue. Any help is appreciated.

Cause of uneven tire wear?

Hey,
My dad’s 2016 Škoda Yeti just had its tires changed and one tire is worn way more than the other ones, what could cause this kind of uneven wear? Tires 1 and 3 both have around 2mm tread (presumably front tires, idk for sure, tire shop took them off and didn’t mark them).Tire 2 has ~4mm and tire 4 has less than 1,6mm. What could cause wear like this on a rear tire? The car is FWD and has an independent rear suspension, so first thing that comes to mind is rear alignment, but the car drives straight as an arrow, so idk. Wheels don’t get super hot when driving, so not a bearing nor brakes.
