What did you do?
Occurs when assigning to a variable or passing as a parameter to another function

  computed: {
    alwaysBound(): string {
      return "Always bound!";
    },
  },
  methods: {
    // Computed properties trigger the error
    getAlwaysBound(): string {
      const alwaysBound = this.alwaysBound; // <-- ERROR!
      return alwaysBound; 
    },
    // As do instance methods
    logAlwaysBound(): string {
      const alwaysBound = this.getAlwaysBound(); // <-- ERROR!
      console.log(this.getAlwaysBound());  // <-- ERROR!
    },

What did you expect to happen?
Vue instance methods and computed properties to be understood as already bound.

What actually happened?

Hitting this for all uses of computed properties and methods, which are all automatically bound by Vue already. Using https://github.com/vuejs/eslint-config-typescript and https://github.com/vuejs/vue-eslint-parser/ (let me know if this ticket belongs with one of those instead)

error  Avoid referencing unbound methods which may cause unintentional scoping of `this`. 
If your function does not access `this`, you can annotate it with `this: void`, or consider using an arrow function instead  @typescript-eslint/unbound-method
