To add more context to this, this literally happened yesterday, but I bought a Kobo Touch (the N905 from 2011) new in box with a receipt from every it was purchased a week after launch in July 2011. I took it out of the box, plugged it into my computer to charge, and once it had some juice I followed the onscreen setup and it just works. It was discontinued 8 years ago but the links and setup instructions are still active and functioning. It doesn't really feel any cheaper than my Paperwhite from 2017, and it reads epubs natively unlike the Paperwhite, so should be just fine for my daughter

I've never seen a mechanic more worried than when his Osprey stopped leaking

The actual good way to do it that I've seen recommended and used myself to good effect is a baking soda paste that's left to set and seep in a bit, and then wiping with a rag soaked in vinegar so that the exothermic reaction helps, refresh vinegar as needed. But that's a lot more work than telling people "use baking soda and vinegar, the fizz means it's working" and that's the reason they put lauryl sulfates in shampoo despite it doing nothing

Let's run this through one word at a time

ipados - name of a product, trademarked, spelled correctly

brave - normal English word, spelled correctly

yutube - missing the letter "o"

ads - normal English word, spelled correctly

adblock - name of a product, spelled correctly. Not an extension available for the browser in question as far as I can tell, but that's the kind of thing you find out when you google it

People also forget about the loan sharking they did in Africa to take advantage of the most desperate

Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?
