exactly.

sounds like the ones who pledged allegiance to the party.

no it doesnt, i don’t want any of them to win.

why is this the staple response? “yeah but america”

the muad’dib manual.

that still doesn’t absolve what china does.

i know real Chinese people who left china because of how bad it is there, not because of socialism, but because of the government surveillance and how they treat people.

fucked up that people do that.

when the LA riots happened a few months ago and they were torching waymo cars i was confused why they would do that, now im ok with thoese cars being torched. fuck waymo, RIP kitkat

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.

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.

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!
