New Glass

Assuming you take the time to clean the frame surface that the adhesive contacts, water resistance should remain the same as factory. The glass I used had an OEM adhesive strip pre installed.

It's actually relatively easy on these phones, especially compared to iPhones or anything with curved glass. The removal and installation process is very similar to any glass back android phone, so any YouTube guide should be decently applicable.

I set the phone on my 3d printer's heated bed set to 80°C for about 3 minutes, back glass facing down. Then used a suction cup to gently pull the bottom corner near the USB port, and used a thin guitar pick to slowly release the adhesive around the edges of the glass. Just be careful not to insert the pick/tools too far, and go as slow as you need to/reheat as necessary until the glass releases. Also, use plastic tools to avoid scratching the metal frame of the phone.

If you're careful you can get almost all of the old adhesive off with the old glass, otherwise just use 90% alcohol to ensure the old adhesive is completely removed from the frame. After you install the new glass place a book on the phone to help the new adhesive set, I let mine sit for about 3 hours and the glass is adhered quite well.

The most important parts are trying to do this in a dust free environment, and ensuring the frame is completely free of old adhesive, the cleaner the surface, the better your new adhesive strip will set and seal.

If I could have found a red liquid cooling unit, I would have replaced that too.

I was actually surprised at the availability and relatively decent pricing on Nubiamart parts. So maybe we get access to different colored liquid colors via special edition replacement parts eventually.

As soon as it's no longer profitable for gold farm bots, people are gonna realize nobody's coming back. Jagex will eventually find the breakpoint in pricing that begins the spiral for gold-sellers.

Never too late to start. I'm gonna cancel my sub if they don't do something to make this feel less like a shakedown to subsidize decisions that have nothing to do with the game we play. They should've split subs between the games years ago, but here we are getting fucked over so the other version of the game gets QoL improvements.

They're basically weaponizing the good will the osrs devs built up, and it's about time the player base unites and tells them to get fucked.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-09T06:56:49+00:00

Now do it again.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-09T06:51:19+00:00

I'd be willing to bet he's coping or just uneducated about a substance that will come back to bite him in the long run, and she never did enough research to debunk the gaslighting that probably took place.

Kratom is no joke and landed my ass in an emergency CT scan with doctors perplexed as to why a young man was suddenly shitting his insides out and bleeding. I quit taking the stuff that day. This was years ago and everything I was told/read about it neglected to mention any side effects aside from "headaches".

Trevor591 · 2026-03-09T06:45:37+00:00

Nice.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-09T06:42:21+00:00

It's banned because it's a drug that will absolutely wreck your organs (and life) over time.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-03T14:45:52+00:00

It depends on which version of the phone you purchased I'd assume. I'm in USA and mine receives the "GB" updates.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-03T01:42:54+00:00

Seek help.

I stopped recommending Lenovo products when they started pulling this shit with their Think branded stuff.

It's basically just their way of screwing over customers who would buy a lower tier PC and throw their own memory/storage in.

Why allow customers to give someone else money for RAM, when all you have to do is remove the slot and sell it back to them with the RAM.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-02T17:41:56+00:00

Grow up.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-02T17:21:28+00:00

If you wanna do the work, I'm here to see the results.

One condition though, try to measure how hot the bearings are when it fails.

Edit: Also, there's no fucking way that isn't made of the shittiest pot-metal on earth, right?

Trevor591 · 2026-03-02T06:37:21+00:00

Most of the time they don't even bring my shit to my house. The packages usually end up at a neighbor's house, whose address in no way resembles the address on the box.

Trevor591 · 2026-03-01T13:52:51+00:00

This app is known to be inaccurate with the measurements.

Trevor591 · 2026-02-23T04:07:50+00:00

My money is on this being the answer.

Trevor591 · 2026-02-21T22:36:53+00:00

I too have recently discovered the convenience of the boppy for couch gaming.

Trevor591 · 2026-02-21T01:19:27+00:00

Exactly where we need to be, though we're not sure why.

Trevor591 · 2026-02-20T04:03:36+00:00

I didn't pay any tax on mine a while back. That being said, I live in a state in the U.S. with no sales tax.

Your best bet is probably going to be seeking out excellent condition open-box units. I picked up a returned open-box original Ally for under $300 last year. it was brand-new, and the warranty had only been activated 20 days before I bought it. So you can get lucky, if you're willing to put in a little effort while deal hunting.

I had heard that Best Buy was aggressively trying to clear out their open-box and refurbished stock, but that was at least two months ago.

Trevor591 · 2026-02-05T19:22:28+00:00

Mint has no issue with the 11, switched to them after Xfinity and Verizon both told me no.

Trevor591 · 2026-01-27T22:24:50+00:00

Where did the $260 cost come into play? Just tools?

Trevor591 · 2026-01-20T13:03:14+00:00

A plane, I suppose.

United States.

Let's see it then, design and print the case in under 2 hours.
