    TempestCatto got a reaction from mr moose in Apple Opens up parts swapping between devices   
    Maybe I'm just used to really old tech, but this doesn't need to be a thing. I've replaced the screen, battery, and charge port assembly on my iPhone 6s. The parts were all from iFixit (not a sponsor) but I don't know if when I powered the phone back on it synced to said servers. I doubt it, nor is it necessary when you're replacing something like a battery. Apple just like using buzzwords to trick most people into thinking they need new muffler bearings every third oil change.

    I'd like to see an "ingredients" portion of the label. How much fiber is there really when they claim I have "fiber to the home"

    TempestCatto reacted to manikyath in Apple Opens up parts swapping between devices   
    let me translate that for you:
     
    apple has stopped binding components to devices by serial number, using some false pretense about calibration profiles to avoid facing regulatory backlash for actively blocking any sort of repairability of their devices.
     
    you cannot get legitimate parts to repair apple devices without agreeing to horrendous agreements designed to put repair shops out of business.
     
    on top of that, the stolen phones argument is complete BS here. no one is stealing phones to harvest their battery and display.

    This thread is wild. 
     
    Seems like some people are more interested in making sure their favorite company (LTT, AMD or both) isn't seen in bad light than to actually look into the situation and help OP.

    TempestCatto reacted to TetraSky in Avatar 7900xtx warranty refusal   
    Manufacturers refusing to honor warranty just because YOU didn't buy it directly... should be illegal.
    Someone else bought it. It's still within the warranty period. This is just gatekeeping warranty service to the first customer, making the warranty void if they ever give or sell it to someone else.
    Unfortunately, we elect people who prefer taking bribes from big companies to protect their interests instead of doing good thing for the people.

    My Xs is perfectly fine, I replaced the battery a month ago. It should be fine for the forseeable future until 5G is fully rolled out.
     
    I would strongly suggest people not upgrade their phones unless it's actually broken. If it still works, it will be fine until the radio technology changes.

    I would try setting his mobile phone to accept calls only from numbers on his contact list
    This functionality is build in every phone. Or at least most of them.
