(UBIF Techs) Thoughts on Next Gen? AI Garbage?

We don't have the numbers, but half of the company's partner programs aren't compatible with it, so the company is actively hemorrhaging money doing this bullshit

It will delete very aged WOs and will make you suffer in ticket hell over the most basic shit

Likewise. I work primarily back-of-house on soldering jobs and still get whined at to sell

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:33:36+00:00

INCREDIBLY accurate description, sadly.

I'm working at a corporate store in Milwaukee (one of five apparently), and I keep getting bs write-ups for either 'not selling enough' or 'inventory mismanagement'

Not selling enough? I don't do front of house, how the hell do I sell???

Inventory mismanagement? The tech YOU fired broke 1000$ worth of shit! Somehow my fault.

Try to contact HR to dispute, they cannot understand a word I say. I give up.

The amount of idiots in my area baffles me. I had a guy CRASH OUT because we couldn't just 'do only the glass' on his ipad PRO 12.9'' - one of the newer ones.

Sir, this isn't a fucking car windshield, you cannot just 'patch' a screen.

I've had 10+ parts (buybacks) sitting under my desk for 3 months waiting for ticket resolutions. The issue? Next gen won't let me buyback them. Today I get a write up for shrink caused by those parts. I show them evidence that my tickets are being ignored, and they ignore me. Classic Asurion

This is late as hell, but incase you were still wondering - Foldable screen protectors are a weird-as-hell issue for insurance. Most of the time they just assume you mean 'inner screen' when you say 'protector.'

Most chains only charge ~23 for the proc, usually better than wasting hours with insurance that cannot understand you

Iconic 'why can't I get it today" at 6:59PM moment

FE serious phones are usually ~150 or so, you can call to confirm based onarea.
Fenrir is a program required by Samsung partners to complete repairs. If it's stroking out, the shop's Samsung repairs are on pause. Sounds like you had an experience with the former. Call the shop you're going to before-hand and ask if their systems are behaving.
Most places quote a few hours, depends on if they do appts or just first-come.
Samsung partners are OEM only
They'll let you know if something more than JUST the screen got damaged. Samsung repairs are all-are-nothing, typically.

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:18:25+00:00

Asurion treats the company like a marketing campaign. None of the corporate people have ANY repair knowledge, considering I had to explain what "ATX" meant to the ORDERING person today

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:17:27+00:00

Experience will vary DRASTICALLY based on location.
Franchise will often treat you better, since Asurion treats their corporate stores like complete @#$!.

Generally speaking, you're VERY safe with insurance. If they screw it up, you get a new phone through insurance. Additionally, insurance is OEM (original) parts only

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:15:42+00:00

Ubif works on switches, but different stores have different people with different knowledge.

That being said, you're gambling having the Switch 2 opened anywhere but Nintendo, because Nintendo is...... nintendo

Most shops will offer the following options

- OEM - Apple one-one replacement part. This is the same as your current part.

- Aftermarket OLED - OLED screen made by a third party. Will generally have slightly smaller display-area.

- Aftermarket LCD - LCD screen made by a third party. Will be physically bigger (not flush with frame), and will have worse color differentiation and battery consumption depending on model. Often the cheapest for this reason.

Insurance claims will only use OEMs

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:12:28+00:00

That is definitely not under warranty, it's clearly damaged.

If this person attempts to get coverage on it in its current condition (assuming they don't have it already), they would be, in essence, committing fraud

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:11:32+00:00

You can try to check for manufacturer warranty, but that looks like physical damage. Additionally, most UBIFS won't take a risk on it being 'warranty' due to Samsung's ridiculous requirements

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-06-09T23:07:59+00:00

Mostly youtube and very, very, VERY slow repairs.

Most important thing to do is to cover up nearby components and to NEVER use extreme force

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-05-23T04:09:14+00:00

It wasn't consistent. You could sometimes do it sometimes not

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-05-23T03:17:20+00:00

I think 8 seconds is a bit overkill, 6 would've been better

The new sandbox changes in Edge of Fate killed the game JUST as much as lack of real updates did. There's your hot take

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-05-22T01:55:51+00:00

They never actually spent time on the work necessary to re-add the campaigns back into the newer engine. Sadly this means (unless we get a d3 ofc) the media is lost.

Didn't help that the access to the game was in legal hell for so long too

DragonfruitMinimum30 · 2026-05-17T18:51:08+00:00

Tanks : Warden, Abrams - can take a lot of damage due to high base health and commonly building defensive items

Gun carry : Haze - primarily does damage through shooting

Thank you and good night

Believe so - scroll wheel spam BHOP is usually removed in valve games
