I wanted to have fun on the back roads tomorrow, but it seems like doing literally anything will cause this car to panic violently before spitting out a random emissions code from the computer. Ah, the joys of owning a beat up car that just wants out of purgatory.
In other less car-related news, my phone’s USB port no longer functions as a USB port. My ability to shuffle files on and off of it is now by proxy through cloud services like Google Drive. Charging it can only be performed by doing a voodoo ritual around an inductive charging pad that only works 3 times before the phone needs to be rebooted due to a memory leak of some sort that basically makes it pretend there’s no charger when there is.
This Droid Turbo has been great, but now it’s falling apart at the seams for no apparent reason other than “I’m old and I should be replaced!”
Also, Kinja appears to not let me reply to any of your comments (again,) so...

My Droid Turbos USB port has been taking a dump on me this week too! It only charges when I push the charger in hard and hold it up at an angle.

Do the rain dance with a chicken held high over your head by its neck.
Sprinkle some dill around its feet.
Dunk the chicken into salt water
Stick the chicken in the oven at 375 and wait for about 20 minutes per pound.
Hey - at least you made dinner.

That suuuucks! Must be a Motorola thing, because every Moto phone I’ve owned, which is many stretching many years, had to be replaced (usually under warranty) around the 1.2 year mark due to a failing USB port. The sole exception is my Moto X, which is still going strong, if a bit loose.

Have you tried cleaning lint out of the port with a paper clip? This happens to me about once a year with my iPhone where I can barely get it to charge, and once I clean the surprising amount of lint out of the port it works fine.
