    ArticularSpark reacted to 191x7 in Google Support has screwed me over, any ideas or tips?   
    You should be able to use your Google Authenticator on an other Android device and your 2FA keys should work. Try that as a stop-gap solution.
     
    Try using SP Flash to flash a stock rom.

    I bought a Google Pixel once. I've been de-Googling my life since. That should tell you something.

    ArticularSpark got a reaction from wolfxtr3m in Linus on Live Stream (I've been thinking of retiring)   
    I got the notification tonight that Linus was live on YouTube tonight, and I actually had some time to tune in for once. My post here is just me adding in a message of support for Linus, in light of some of the things he discussed in the stream. I realize he did include at the end that it isn't a cry for help, or him exclaiming he's knocked down and out. Nonetheless, I still wanted to share this.
     
    The stream was all of 28 minutes or so long, and there were a lot of things covered that I noticed many people in the chat were concerned about. Now, looking past the trolls spamming "F" and the people doing anything to gain attention for themselves, which were in no short supply, the chat was supportive and many people were donating for the sole reason that Linus was streaming. Anyway, a couple things stuck with me that I'll likely not forget, the most prominent of which was the story Linus shared of the Make-a-Wish Foundation reaching out to him about a sick child, who's wish was to meet Linus. I suppose for the sake of being as brief as possible, I'll only talk about this for the rest of the post. The short version is that the child's condition worsened, and the plans they were originally coming up with had to be cancelled due to a rapidly-worsening condition. Linus told us he was asked to record a personal video for them. Linus agreed, and likened it to the fact he records videos every day, and thought he would handle it alright. His words to us were that he pulled his phone out, went to record and... He froze, as he couldn't think of anything to say. He went on to talk to us about how it weighed on him heavily at that moment, particularly after reading through the guidelines sent to him for the video. He then cried, and tried to express how painful it was to try and put together something for a 12-year-old who was terminally ill, and... Well, a lot of us, myself at that time included, were really concerned and sympathetic.
     
    Once again, to be brief, I'll try to shorten my recap, and get on with what I really wanted to say with the post. I may speak for myself here, but I'm positive countless others will agree that no one on this planet should go through that. Millions of us love and support you and everything you do, and your expression of your thoughts tonight make us think no less of you. I speculate that my words here may come across as pointless validation, but it is the truth. You've helped us learn, entertained us, and in some cases, you've given us something that has been life-changing. I wouldn't have my job today with Best Buy without you, NCIX, or every member of Linus Media Group. With your videos you've brightened the minds of people for more than a decade, and more people are still arriving to your channel today. We're all grateful for you. No matter what you decide to do, or where you decide to go, you'll always have our support.
     
    I really should be off to bed now, but I may add on in the morning if any other thoughts arise over the course of tonight.
     
    I wish you the best,
    Austin

    ArticularSpark got a reaction from Teddy07 in Regarding the Recent Hiring Announcement   
    I'm brand new, pretty much fresh out of high school, no sort of documented work experience that would be of relevance to the skills they're looking for. Then again, I suppose just about anyone can claim they have experience anywhere, so my chances are virtually zero. Also, thank you for the clarification on the legalities, that was the most confusing part for me!
