The other day, my 2004 Dakota left turn signal started blinking rapidly, then would sometimes go back to normal, other times blink rapidly until I finished my turn, then be normal for my next left turn, and still other times just not blink rapidly at all. I have had a turn signal blink faster than normal before, so I know that it usually means the bulb is burnt out. Last night, I went to check the bulb and I noticed that none of my three brake lights were coming on when I depressed the brake pedal. At that point, the turn signal was also only blinking fast with no deviation.

I asked someone else to come out and help check, and all my actual lights were working except for my third brake light, which only comes on when I brake. My headlights, front turn signals, high beams, and reverse lights all worked. When I put on my hazards, the brake lights did come on and blinked at the normal speed. After that, I removed the tail light assembly and put eyes on the bulb to confirm it was not burned out, which it wasn't, then reinstalled. I checked the fuse and it was fine. I checked and swapped relays and the problems persisted. I looked at the brake light switch and nothing appeared wrong from what I know and could see. I made sure all relevant connectors were secure and all the wiring I could see appeared undamaged. I undid the ground wire and sanded off some rust from the hardware and still no change.

I would appreciate any help in pinning this down. Thank you in advance, and if you need further information or for me to perform further troubleshooting, I will do so to the best of my ability.

Is there any way to level the event wildlife after the events ends? The past several events, I've easily cleared the amount needed for Level 7, but for the cow, instead of the normal 11 daily gifts I get, I've only been getting 7 for the whole month, basically since the event started. That has been and difference and leaves me 2,000 tokens short with no way to make up the balance without spending money, which I refuse to do for any mobile game.

I was going through my desk and I found a $25 MasterCard gift card that I got probably for a birthday a long time ago. I'm talking as long ago as 2013-2015 based off the dates on the card packaging and the agreement inside. I never even activated it since the card was still sealed. The "Valid Thru" date says it expired in February of 2024. I went to the FAQ section on their site, and it claims that funds never expire, but when I went to activate, it understandably gave me an error message. This also directly contradicts what the card itself says in fine print on the back. I saw a couple of old posts that say you can call and ask to have it exchanged, but there was also a comment that said that if you do that, the inactivity fees apply retroactively to the original expiration date. The aforementioned agreement and the card itself states that after 12 months of inactivity, a $2.00 per month fee will be assessed on the balance, which would mean that even if I got a replacement, it would just be an equally worthless piece of plastic.

Basically, my questions are 1. Are the funds actually expired since the card is old and contradicts the current site? 2. If the funds aren't expired, should I bother asking for a new card, or would the fees mean that I wouldn't have anything anyways? Before anyone asks, my state's law says that they don't have to do anything because a gift card is considered a contract, and my inaction means that that I'm not entitled to anything because I chose not to exercise my end of said contract.

This has probably been answered before, but I didn't see a megathread, so I'll ask anyways. I take a lot of screen recordings on my iPhone and offload them to Google Photos to save space and they all usually back up to the app just fine. From there, I go onto the account on my PC and organize them as I please. This recent session has seen two screen recordings no different from any of the others refuse to back up. When I've gone searching for them in the out-of-sync gallery and even in the regular gallery and force them to be backed up, the quality is stuck at 720p only. No option to go up to 1080p like all the rest of my screen recordings and no option to go down either. Backup quality is set to Original. I've tried turning it off and then re-selecting it and it's had no effect. I've tried deleting the video from Photos and clearing it from Trash and it hasn't changed. I've tried deleting the video from my iPhone camera roll and recovering after re-accomplishing the process I've just mentioned, and it still hasn't done anything to fix the problem. How can I fix this? It's just those two videos and it's really annoying me. Thanks in advance!
