I once had a thief steal my car, the tool used to break in was left on the street. Reported it to police, they came and had a look, wouldn't even take the tool as evidence, even after I insisted. I never heard back from the police nor ever saw my car again. Lost about 7 grand that day. Just saw my brother go through a divorce, he followed the law, did everything that was asked of him legally, but his lying wife and dirty lawyer broke a lot of rules and have come out on top much richer people, while my brother got screwed. As I am getting older, I am coming to the belief that being a honest and good citizen can backfire on you when the legal system is lousy and corrupt.

Well at least the phone is unsupported now but since it was used by criminals I would’ve contacted EBay and retuned the phone instead of fully going on with repairing it. But anyways, the video itself was interesting and I love watching your repair content as it inspires me to do it. I can’t right now due to expenses but when I get a job, I might consider it.

I have a great video idea , as I’ve been searching the internet I seen that TEMU sells iPhone replacement screens, yes TEMU.. it’s $12 USD for an iPhone XS replacement KIT. And as of now , I can’t really find any videos of people trying them on KZfaq. And as I’ve been a big fan of the channel for almost 5 years now , I’d love to see your review and reaction on some of these screen replacements

Perfect video for me, bought a Pixel 6A in mint condition for €30 shipping included, it has a hairline crack which has killed the screen, planning on replacing the screen myself.

Can you explain more on how phones sweat? Is it related to the temperature around the phone?

@HughJeffreys 15 күн бұрын

Not sure, must have to do with moisture in the air and the heat from the phone creating the staining. I have seen in on the iPhone 7,8 & SE models where the ear piece flex cable coils around on top of the logic board.

I work on phones all day. My advice for the adhesive on Pixels is to use a flathead bit that's as wide as the adhesive and just run that flat along the frame. The adhesive comes right off easily.

I just bought your test app, great ideea. One suggestion though, can you make it run thru a qr code on a new phone when you don’t have your apple id installed. I think ios had some way or running an app thru a visual code

Look at the tracking problem from the other angle: now there are so many legit tracked locations, spoofed locations and burner locations as to dilute the worthiness of every one of them for third party actors. Only the inner circle of the owner knows if the locations mean something or they might be OOB messages (i.e. if my phone appears at a location that means we are safe to talk, if it appears at some other locations means "do this" "do that" or "compromised, disregard"). If we correlate the genuine position with a certain status on a certain messaging app, we could counteract many of the threats to property or persons. We basically have a digital canary and we must learn the habit of using it as security countermeasures.
