Facebook app randomly installed on my Note 9

So I use my phone often for work. Calculator app, maps, camera etc. Today as of the last 45 min or so Facebook somehow got installed on my phone. I haven't used Facebook since 2009. What gives. Why is it all of a sudden installed and not able to be removed?

[Movie] The Kitchen - new Netflix movie takes place in a pre-cyberpunk world
  • Movie was so slow and painfully boring I stopped 50 mins in. Literally nothing of any real substance happens. What is the deal with all these movies not doing anything in the first 1/2 to 3/4 of the movie? Am I just a bitchy millennial or is the the new trend for movies today?

  • Water heater breaker shut off and when I flipped it back on a wire burnt
  • This is more of an electrical problem rather than a plumbing issue. But rust inside the junction box is a sign of water getting into it. You need to find the source of the water that's getting in and stop that too. It looks like there is only a bad connection inside the wire nut. Most likely due to being wet. You can try changing the wire nuts if you feel comfortable with electricity.

    1. Switch the breaker to "off" and lock it out & tag it so nobody turns it on accidently.

    2. Verify power is off to both wires with a meter or voltage indicator.

    3. Cut back the wires until you have a good section of wire to strip and install new wire nuts. (Remove one wire nut at a time so you don't mix wires.)

    If you are not comfortable with electricity please do not attempt this repair and contact someone who is.

  • Anon is a car
  • Definitely love the look of a stock 95-96 Impala SS. I miss the clone I had for over a decade. Most reliable car I ever had. Will never forget how well it would cruise at 100-120 MPH for hours on end feeling like your on a cloud. They really should have put a 454 in the SS

  • Automotive torrents or DDs?
  • I'm interested in this too. Software for manufacturer specific vehicles like Ford Power strike or Toyota/Lexus as well as industrial off highway engines and equipment. Kubota, Doosan, Yanmar, John Deere etc.

    Many use similar communication protocols but the software for special functions are manufacture specific.

    Would love to cut out the dealers and be able to do forced manual Regen and injector tests etc

  • Queensryche - Revolution Calling
  • Hey yeah. I only found out about these guys a couple years ago. Definitely one of the best to come out of that time. Couple of my favorites are Jet City Woman and Eyes of a Stranger. Geoff Tate is an awesome vocalist. Super happy to see this band on here!!!

  • Lemmy Car Experts, I have a car that is randomly leaking coolant and need advice (Resolved)
  • This seems like the best option. That or stop and go traffic is causing the coolant to over flow and leak out. Possible cooling fan issues if the problem is only in stop and go traffic whereas on the highway at constant speed it's fine.

  • Need to get off the grid fast. Is a gas or diesel generator my best option?
  • Depending on how often you run it you should look into doing a setup similar to what I have listed below.

    One, get a gasoline Honda generator. 7000 kw ideal 3000 minimum. Depending on how many loads you'd like to run at once will decide on your size generator. Don't go too big or fuel consumption will be excessive. Too low and you will not have enough to do what you need to or will wear it out prematurely. Make sure to get roughly 25 to 50 gallons worth of gas cans too otherwise you'll be stopping for fuel multiple times a week.

    Add in an 2000-3000 watt pure sine wave inverter/charger and a small 700-1000ah battery bank so that you can run your lights, router, small fridge, fans, furnace etc when the generator is not running. Idea is to add in some solar panels so that your small loads won't require you to run the generator every day all day long. Run it when you need to cook, or power large loads and let the inverter system power the small loads when the generator is not needed.

    Stock up on good quality oil for the generator and change the oil every 50 to 75 hours depending on how hard you run it. Oil changes are critical to longevity of an engine and the MFG suggested oil change interval does not have the consumers best interest in mind. Change oil early or change the engine early.
