The world also still let's planes use lead gasoline. My point is you won't be able to buy anything if you boycott every corpo that does something like this. It'd be great if you could, but you can't.

Notice that your phone is 6 years old, and not one year old. There's your hiccup.

Also, I'd rather replace a battery in a 6 year old phone, than put up with it only being at half capacity and being underclocked so it runs like shit.

Further also, you aren't quite understanding the issue with the phones. Most phones manufacturers leave some "wiggle room" for their power demand and don't need a full 3.6v for stability (lithium batts are 3.7v nominal). Apple screwed up their power draw and screwed up their battery manufacturing.

Yeah, I've read it before. And bayer gave aids to foreign countries, and nestle has done deplorable things, and the banana people have hired mercenaries to kill natives for banana control, and our US government let tons of black people die and spread syphilis because they just wanted to see how it went instead of giving them the cure, cable companies stole billions and never delivered on promised infrastructure....if it's a big entity, they're usually pieces of shit. I'm still getting my tape from 3M.

Lol. That is 100% not true, Fan Boy. My four year old samsung still pulls the same test numbers and frequencies as when it was new. Apple was using flawed batteries with a processor that couldn't cope and just tried to cover it up.

If you're much of a tech person, you must have been living under a rock if you think all apple products are good. Several of their laptops and desktops have been large misses, some have had critical flaws that burn them out after a few years, one of their iPhones had a battery/processor combo flaw that had the batteries not deliver enough voltage after like a year and instead of doing a recall, they put out an update that undercooked the apu so the phone ran shittier but wouldn't rando restart anymore. Then there was the iPhone that lost reception if "you were holding it wrong".

Also, there's a reason they were about to go bankrupt in the mid 90's. They got saved by Bill Gates and got lucky with the Ipod, that saved their company.

3M does tape and chemicals better than most anyone.

If it's supposed to be sticky: 3M over anything else.

I mean, for most parts of a vehicle, within 1/100 of an inch is plenty close enough. Most of the things that it wouldn't be are more generic off the shelf stuff. Like, chevy doesn't make all of their their transmissions, for instance. Tremec makes the ones for the corvette, and some of their 10 speed ones are made by a shared effort between Ford and Chevy/GM. Than Nissan ops to use these POS jnco transmissions, and there's several others. Same for some engines or at least many of the parts in the engines.

But all the frame, mounts, body panels, holes, brackets, etc...1/100th inch would be fine.

As windows sucks more, Linux gets easier, and gaming gets way easier, this trend won't stop any time soon, but I am curious about how big a chunk of that percentage is steam OS/steam decks.

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.

 

All of a sudden my clutch went from totally normal to very hard to press down. It's now been this way for quite a long time. It's a hydraulic clutch (clutch was replaced by a shop a few months prior to the issue, but me and the shop....did not get along.) in an 06 tribute with a 4 cylinder motor.

Looking for what I'll need done in order to not have to break my leg to shift the thing. Thanks.

I figure it's something the shop didn't do correctly, as it was supposed to have new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing but there's no way to verify they replaced it all or did it correctly and the problem started suddenly about 3 months later.
