Remove MDM from an iPhone 13

I am the (legal) owner of an iPhone 13. It was wiped before I obtained it. When I go to set it up, I get to a screen that asks for the Remote Management login from the company that owned it originally. I do not have access to the password although I do know the user name. I want to remove (not bypass) this MDM software. What is the best, (free?) way to do so without contacting the company whose MDM it is? (While contacting the company would be possible, trust me when I say that is the last resort.)

Number Spoofing

For about two weeks now, at least once or twice a day I get a call or a text saying some version of, "Yeah, I got a call from this number. Who is this? What do you want?" or I get an automated response in the form of a text that says, "Sorry, I can't talk right now." I have never contacted these numbers in any form.

What are the 3 most important criteria in selecting a seller's RE agent?

If you were looking for a real estate agent to list your house for sale, what would be the three most important things you would look for in that agent? For example, one list might be: 1. experience selling houses in your price range. 2. Promised amount of feedback from potential buyers who view your house. 3. Commission rate.

Jasper v. Ford Remanufactured Engines

My '08 F-150 likely needs a different engine. I do not want an engine out of a wreck or from the junk yard or one rebuilt by a local shop. I am looking for a remanufactured engine. Does anyone have any experience with or insight into the quality difference between a Jasper Remanufactured engine versus a Ford Factory remanufactured engine?

Home or Away?

Team A vs. Team B. Which is the home team if listed like this? I have seen conflicting opinions. Is there a standard in the US? Is it different in other countries? Does it differ by sport?

You Looking at Me?

I am a big baseball fan. I will watch every game on TV that I can regardless of the teams playing (although I am a Yankee fan and Pirates fan 2nd.) I have noticed after a player strikes out, the camera often shows them looking back at what I thought was the pitcher as if to say, "I'll show you next time" or "That junk won't fool me next time" or whatever you want to assume. Then it occurred to me that they could be looking at the Jumbotron to see the pitch.

How do I get my browser to work?

On certain web sites, when I click on the next button or the page 2 to go to the next page, nothing happens. I cannot get to the second page of a news story. I want to fix this.

I'll bet you don't know the answer

Is a recovered onside kick such as at the beginning of the 2nd half of tonight's Super Bowl when the ball is touched by the receiving team before it travels 10 yards but not recovered by them considered a turnover by the receiving team?

Spain or Pain?

Panic is in the house. My wife has planned a trip with our 13 year old daughter from the US to Spain. They leave on Sunday afternoon from JFK. Tonight while gathering her passport, we realize that her passport expired 1 year ago. (A minor's passport is only valid for 5 years.) Assuming cost is not an issue, is there anyway for my wife and daughter to make the trip legally on Sunday? I am looking for practical advice for someone in the NY tri-state area.

What is bigger than alot or a shitload?

My son asked me how many trees there are in the world. I know there are a finite number, yet I also know that it is not practical to count them. Same with grains of sand. When the set cannot be measured because it goes on forever we say the set is infinite. Is there a single word to express the concept of a countable, finite number too large to actually count?

How do i go all the way back?

With Firefox 2.0 (did not happen on 1.5.) when I return to the previous page via the back button, I am always sent to the top of the previous page regardless of how far I had scrolled down prior to jumping to the next page. Can I set it to go back to the spot I had scrolled to and not to the top or am I stuck? (My current workaround is to use the add on script that creates a duplicate tab)
