there are step by step guides, and im sure you can do it! you know what would be a good idea if you plan to keep the phone for awhile? see if anyone sells a broken pixel 10 or similar, buy the kit to open the phone, and at least when you screw that one up opening it, you know what to do next time!

Oh perfect there are repair guides for that. So if you ever need to fix it, you can get all the tools yourself and fix it!

They will harvest what they can (not talking Louis Rossman types) and then either A)offer either OEM or aftermarket and be honest with the part replacement or put aftermarket and claim it’s OEM parts.

yes ive seen that sadly. fucked up shit

hmm fair. what model is your phone?

they will usually find an excuse to unlock your phone, also, they will have tools to dump what they can as well. they can even do it without unlocking your phone, but good luck proving that.

im reading 2 different stories here. one saying that toys were rigged deliberately, and another saying its unexploded bombs that kids have touched while digging through the rubble to find belongings. while this is fucking heartbreaking to hear these kids now have life changing injuries, both stories set very different stories, with one being very gruesome, if true.

yeah of course, and tbh, ifixit has some good guides on how to fix phones. you might be able to try your hand at fixing it, and then not even worry about having to rely on someone else doing it, and then closing that security loop.

trust me i also do the same with my stuff, i can i fix it i try to (unless its beyond repair)

if you can, try to make friends with someone you can trust to fix your phone, and if you do, anything sensitive, backup and delete from your phone and cloud. if you want me to really be specific, im talking about photos, but i didnt want to sound gross.

they take genuine parts from the phone you bring and put in aftermarket or shit ones that are almost on their way out, and they will (especially women) dump any data they can get from the phone.

i am tech-savvy. and again, after working for a phone repair shop, i would never trust one to fix my phone.

i never trust shops to fix a phone after working for one. they will purposefully damage other components or take your OEM screen and put an aftermarket screen.

i ended up finding one for canada and got setup, thanks!

oh ok, there’s no one i want to follow anyone atm, but that’s good to know.

thanks for giving me the details, so i guess my next step is finding an instance that suits me.

Lmao that’s alot of fucks

yes its the liberals fault. just take anything you don’t like and put “XYZ is liberals fault”

find someone better, or at the very least just do your own thing.

i once compiled C code and now have finger cancer

the popcorn lung shit is such old news that people who bring it up have no idea what they are talking about. it was related to a chemical called Diacetyl. The popcorn lung name was from a industrial incident where workers were making popcorn with diacetyl as the flavoring, and there was an accident and they inhaled diacetyl vapors. There was no study done to say the levels in e-liquid cause this “popcorn lung” but e-liquid companies were so scared it would ruin their business that most removed the flavoring from their recipes, and the ones that contained it, had a warning that it had diacetyl, all without the goverment stepping in. vaping gets so much flak from the shit big-tobacco has done in the past decade and its sad where it is now, where people buy disposables and its just a dead market then what it used to be. just to put things into context here in canada. a 60ml bottle of eliquid used to cost 20-30 CAD before the “sin tax”. now, it costs 55-60 CAD for the same bottle. want to bypass the tax and DIY? sorry, nicotine bases to mix only go up to 20mg/ml FOR THE WHOLE BOTTLE meaning that if you want to make your juice, the whole bottle of nicotine base you bought is used for ONE BOTTLE MIX and is subjet to the sin tax. before you could buy a 100mg/ml bottle of nicotine for 40 bucks and it would last your months while you had your flavorings, and PG/VG bases.
