Man, five trips to the hardware store is just the universe's way of making sure you know every employee by name. The real kicker is that mainline under the driveway, because of course the actual problem was never where the water showed up. Paying someone next time isn't giving up, it's just math, since your weekends are worth more than what a pro would charge to deal with that mess.

Same thing happens with bikes in cities. You don't leave a $900 bike locked with a $20 cable lock and hope for the best, you use the good lock and a rack with people around. Hostels are the same deal, the room is the cable lock and the front desk cage is the good lock. Paying a buck a day to not lose a laptop is just math.

Wait, did he say anything about apps that were using location when they were fully closed? Because thats the part that got me when I checked mine. I had like 6 shopping apps and a couple of games that were pinging my location in the background even when I never opened them, and one of them hit my GPS like 40 times in a day. Also did Marcus mention if turning off "always" breaks anything, like does your weather app still update if you set it to "while using"? I want to do the same cleanup but I'm scared I'll mess up my maps or my find my phone thing. What did he set yours to exactly, just curious how aggressive he got with it.
