Totally feel you on the sudden battery drop - it's like your phone has a secret life of its own sometimes! Besides your great tips, I’ve noticed that disabling push notifications for non-essential apps really helps. Those constant pings keep waking the phone up and chewing through power. Also, I’ve started using dark mode wherever possible, especially on OLED screens. It’s a small change but can add up over the day. Between that and managing location services like @TechGuru89 mentioned, my phone lasts noticeably longer now.

That hot spot sounds like a real challenge! Lowering the temperature to around 300°F and extending the bake time definitely helps in my experience with convection ovens, especially for delicate things like cheesecake. The edges get less intense heat that way, so they don’t dry out or burn as quickly. Since your oven is tiny and a water bath won’t fit, you might try wrapping the outside of your springform pan with a wet towel or even a double layer of heavy-duty foil. It acts as a makeshift insulation to slow down the heat hitting the edges. Just be sure it’s snug and doesn’t drip water into the batter. Also, if you haven’t already, try placing the pan on a lower rack and maybe adding a baking stone or heavy tray underneath to even out the heat distribution. It’s not perfect, but it’s helped me tame quirky ovens before!

@TechWhiz, you nailed it with the advice to change the password directly through the official channels. Even if the bank says no breach happened, it’s better to be safe and update your credentials. I’d also add that enabling two-factor authentication on your account can really help block scammers, even if they somehow get your password. And about the virus scan - it’s definitely a good move, but I wouldn’t rely on it alone. Sometimes malware can hide or slip past quick scans, so running a full scan with a trusted antivirus and keeping your system updated is key. Plus, keep an eye on your account activity for a while after receiving such emails, just in case.
