2GR-FSE weird scratching noise?

https://youtu.be/25hsXy-23IQ

2014 GS350 AWD. Anyone heard this noise in their engine bay?

I'm not referring to the typical goofy 2Gr Ticks. This sounds more like an uneven scratching/crackling, almost like radio static, coming from the rear of the bay. For some reason it only makes noise when the AC is OFF, then when you turn the AC ON the noise disappears. Any advice would be appreciated.

iPhone Air vs iPhone 15 Pro - Battery life?

Coming from a 15 Pro and looking to upgrade. How would the Air battery life compare to mine? I'm not super satisfied with the 15 Pro battery at this point. At 86% capacity and I'm having to charge twice a day.

SOLUTION IF YOU CAN'T CONNECT TO FRIENDS LOBBIES ON XBOX LIVE

Greetings, fellow Redditors.

Like a lot of you, probably more than I'm aware of, myself and my friends have been having issues joining each other's Zombies lobbies for months now. Most specifically, one of my friends could not join me no matter what we tried. We tried factory resets. We tried network changes. He and I even swapped consoles at one point and the issue followed, proving it wasn't his console. Then on top of that, we had a third friend develop similar issues: Able to host, not able to join

THIS IS THE SOLUTION WE HAVE FOUND, WHICH HAS SOLVED OUR ISSUES COMPLETELY.

Step 1: Set BO2 to boot directly to Zombies. This is somewhere in the game settings.

Step 2: The person who is hosting needs to open their lobby. Ideally, keep everything set to public/friends only for time's sake

Step 3: The person(s) joining must boot up their game, and because of step 1, will be taken directly to the Zombies menu. THEY MUST CLICK ON XBOX LIVE AS SOON AS THEY CAN PHYSICALLY PRESS THE BUTTON. Speed is the most important factor here.

Step 4: Once the joining player is past the connection screen and into the main lobby, they must IMMEDIATELY join the host's lobby. Easiest way to do this is either the top right corner of the screen which shows sessions in progress, or via the BO2 friends menu. Once again, THIS MUST BE DONE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

If done correctly, this process will somehow allow you to join the lobby before something else in the game can load and prevent you from joining. You're essentially joining the lobby as fast as humanely possible and it works for some crazy reason. After literal months of troubleshooting and scouring the internet, this is the only solution we've found. I was genuinely surprised when we tried this and it actually worked. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Cross Platform PC and Xbox?

Brand new to ARK, as in I've literally never played before. I have some friends that play Evolved via Steam. If I downloaded on my Xbox, could I play on their server?

TIA

Hello everyone. Please read the below post that I read myself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/1re55xu/fell_victim_to_fake_github_repo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I too fell for the scheme and pasted this into my Terminal on my MacBook Pro. Was asked for my local password which I input. Was asked for access to my files, which I did NOT grant. At that point I realized something was up and opened up that thread I linked above, realized what I’d fell for, and IMMEDIATELY turned off my WiFi. So all of this took about 30 seconds between the command and WiFi off.

To make a long story short, I never reconnected to my WiFi. I’ve fully wiped the Mac disk and am currently reinstalling macOS via Recovery.

Have gotten no emails or anything suspicious account wise, and my phone and stuff all seems fine.

Am I good now? Yes I know how stupid I am
