  • It’s like catching a little kid in a lie and they just keep on making up more and more hilarious crap to cover the initial lie. Each lie builds on itself requiring a bigger, more ridiculous lie to cover it up and before you know it, you went from who ate the missing yogurt to now the sky is a glass dome, the sun is a giant flashlight that the government turns on and off and the moon only glows because of magical glow worms that live on its surface


  • This polarizing aspect of the whole thing has really confused me for this very reason as well as a few others. I think about it a lot like flat earth. In both cases the opponents or “deniers” for lack of a better term point largely to this like conglomerate corpo science-y entity that has a rooted financial interest in spreading these lies all for monetary gain. This idea that “big science” genuinely wants people to believe in a fake scenario of the earth’s clomate getting fucked by humans is so strange. And this works politically too.

    Like I don’t have any research to back this up but I’d bet my left ass cheek that the large majority of climate scientists AS WELL as climate progressive politicians would absolutely love there to be completely no issue with climate change. Given the choice, not having to worry at all about that for the present and future would just be a big load off every one’s plate. Now I’m sure there are some people that have a lot of their eggs in the renewable, green energy basket and could stand to gain prosperity from society moving in a green energy direction. There’s no doubt. But something tells me that they are more or less cancelled out by the amount of people who are already profiting or stand to profit more from petroleum based energy means.

    I just don’t get the whole realistic motive behind scientists and politicians pushing an agenda that they know to be false. Do people really think scientists don’t have anything better to do than just make stuff up? Genuinely? And it’s not like just a few of them. We’re talking well over 90% are pushing this fake agenda. That is complete and utter market saturation lol. I just can’t fathom how that would work. Just like the flat earth thing, what is there to gain from this for the large majority of these people? Like why?


  • This is such a bummer to hear. That makes sense because I have definitely not been working on high end phones. I’ve only worked on one where I needed to remove the back glass (which was a bitch until I figured it out!) but once I popped it open it wasn’t too bad. Sounds like things are getting worse and maybe won’t get better for a bit…

    I’m curious, do you ever see any type of DRM or software locks if you replace any components? I’m just a weekend warrior so I don’t work on a ton but I’ve tried to help out a friend or two by replacing components and there’s been a few times it seems like everything is in place but the phone just won’t allow the replaced components. I just assumed I messed something up but I’ve heard of some fishy business where phones won’t allow aftermarket components on some parts of the phone (I’ve mainly only had this issue dealing with switching out camera components)


  • I mean they’re still this “easy” for the most part. Obviously some are harder than others but I’ve changed plenty of post 2020 phones and they’re very similar to this. I would strongly argue that it should absolutely be waaaaay easier to do tho. I’ve only changed so many because it’s too difficult for most people and they know I can.

    It’s ridiculous how hard they’ve made these damn things to repair and it pisses me off that it’s even legal. We’re slooooowly making headway in the right to repair department but it’s really just kind of clawing back to where we were than actual progress.




  • The way I’m reading it (and I could absolutely be wrong here) but it sounds like he might be saying he has the money now thru hard work and tan lotion or whatever the hell. Not that he always had it. That would still cause problems but not nearly as much as if he is saying he always had it. Cause then he basically lied in court under oath which is obviously a no no.

    But if he’s saying he like hit the ground and made some shrewd genius business moves to raise the money quickly or something I don’t think that would cause a ton of problems. And I could easily see some moron rich people getting together and just giving him the money or something
