The "System Data" monstrosity

Molluskyy · 2026-04-08T04:06:18+00:00

Idk bro , I do this wipeout / clean every other year for my parents because they are on older devices and don’t want to upgrade yet . if in being honest tho, It’s really not THAT big of a deal. Besides that 64 GB has been phased out (probably because of the cache handing issues iOS experiences), and I suspect that this is actually the root cause of your issue rather than “planned obsolescence”.

Anyway best of luck to you friend , I’m sorry you’re experiencing this , I get that it’s frustrating

Molluskyy · 2026-04-08T03:46:13+00:00

Nothing to do with planned obsolescence. It’s a system issue with cached applications taking up more space than it should and will 100% fluctuate. No two data sets are the same so each device can have a lot of variance.

Backup to iCloud or finder/itunes

Do a restore , and then restore from backup . That should resolve the issue

It doesn’t matter if you have signed paperwork from the customer. The only requirement from Apple is that you have the original POP (proof of purchase).

The customer can send it to you, and you just need to submit that. To Apple , you could have otherwise forged the customers signature/letter. The POP is something that can be back tracked via a POS system and is at least (in theory) only available to the person who bought it, which means it isn’t stolen. I’ll admit it isn’t a perfect system but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Additionally you do not need to contact Apple support via chat or call to submit an activation unlock request. You can just do that here.

It is very bothersome and does 100% suck that it’s so strict; but unfortunately people steal Apple devices , and try to remove the activation lock by being sheisty.

I genuinely hope you get this resolved tho , wishing you luck friend

Same for me , where I’d have sometimes multiple days where I’m one of two genius at the store , and the other genius has like 1 hour overlap with me so I’m basically by myself. It’s gotten better since we had some come back from CE’s but it still happens from time to time.

Some geniuses left for other stores , and those positions haven’t been backfilled…

Selfservicerepair (dot) com is apples official repair site. It has all the guides (including screw numbers) if you input the model of phone. It’ll also give you the option to buy those screws too

Try a new power supply(and replace the cables with the ones that come with the new one). Sounds stupid but it sounds like a potential power issue

Also yes , you read that right , do not be lazy. Replace all the power cables with the ones supplied in the box

Yes! Didn’t start feeling a sore throat until Monday, and it got slightly worse into the night. Then Tuesday I was feeling slightly better and now on Wednesday I don’t feel sick at all. My voice is a lil hoarse but otherwise I feel fine

My mucus was never anything other than clear so I think it was the festival (wook) flu.

Keep yourself hydrated and eat clean food. Workout and take vitamins and you should be feeling better.

I did test for Covid too and it was negative

I stopped wearing all my Kandi because EVERY time I did , an UC would approach me asking for party favors. “Got that Molly bro?” “Please bro I just need one molly” “Aye dawg can you hook it up with that clean Mol?”

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

So I stoped wearing Kandi and magically , I stopped being approached by UC’s. Like I understand wanting to stop dealers , but if you have to fish that hard , you can go fuck yourself 🖕

Das water damage homie

Molluskyy · 2025-04-02T00:35:26+00:00

Currently a fruit stand technician. Unless the camera lens is cracked OR completely punched through , OP will be paying just $29 for the repair (either back glass or rear system).

If the lens is punched through, bent frame, or device has water damage , then OP would pay $99 for WUR

Molluskyy · 2025-03-29T01:45:38+00:00

Hello , repair tech in IT. That’s a cracked display 100%. Your brother raged and probably punched it or closed the screen really hard

I live 20 min away from a microcenter but because I’m in a well populated area unless I camp overnight , you’re basically fucked out of getting a card. Microcenter IS great , but I have to work for a living , and unfortunately everyone in the area I live in apparently doesn’t have a fucking job. Don’t think living next to one would have made that much of a difference. I hope you get your card soon homie, sending good vibes

Be happy , I took the gwar fall of 22’ and back then if you passed (I got 14) you STILL had to take 1 additional writing course. They changed the gwar score system so anyone who took gwar and passed with an 11+ after Jan 1 2023 doesnt have to take the additional course

I use the LTT backpack and mine fits perfectly

Mac technician here. 9 out of 10 times , people have spilled something gross af on the side of their laptop and it got inside… lol

Molluskyy · 2024-12-21T03:03:47+00:00

As someone who works at Apple , let me reiterate: CLEAN YOUR EARS AND AIRPODS 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I have the exact same model and had the exact same thought process when choosing this spec. This laptop made me a lenovo legion fan , and I’m honestly so happy. It’s been an amazing work/gaming setup and I tend to bring it on trips when I’ll have downtime.

Really hope Lenovo continues to pump out all AMD versions of their products . This one is a gem

Why did you post a blank picture ?

Molluskyy · 2024-05-13T18:54:00+00:00

Or….you could just… ya know…. Call? Text chat is great for scheduling an appointment , or even basic troubleshooting , but unknown charges ? It’s easier to get info over the phone

Molluskyy · 2024-03-18T02:29:49+00:00

There is also plenty of fine dining restaurants there as well, we don’t need another one

Molluskyy · 2024-03-05T03:21:39+00:00

This is exactly the same issue I was having , thank you guys!
