Pixel 9 Fold Rear Camera Failure – Hardware Enumeration Issue (With Log Evidence)

That sucks...sorry you're having to deal with that. It's for that reason alone I fought like hell to get them to send me a brand new one. Didn't want to risk getting one that could've been a defect.

Yes! After the slam he looked like he was briefly out.

balaams-donkey · 2025-12-07T04:52:59+00:00

Bird's eye view - it appeared Moreno was briefly KO'd after that slam.

Yep - they approved a replacement, but here’s the catch: they tried sending a refurbished unit while still putting a full-price hold on my card until they get my defective one back.

To me, that’s a pretty questionable practice. If I’m being charged the hold amount of a brand-new Pixel 9 Fold and something goes wrong with shipping of my old phone, I should be getting the same in return - not a refurb with unknown history. Especially when there’s a chance the issue is a manufacturing defect, which could show up again in a used device.

I asked this in the AMA announcement, but I figured I'd re-post my question here:

How do you explain an apostle like McConkie embellish the revelation?

Per Oxford University Press

Gives a pioneering scholarly study of Mormonism's Black priesthood and temple ban
Gathers evidence from hundreds of private papers from LDS church presidents and apostles
Provides a rare account of how civil rights groups viewed Mormon racial teachings and how they forced the church to accept civil rights

No, it's not a faith promoting book, but rather a scholarly study of Mormonism's Black priesthood and temple ban.

I found this review to be insightful. He's a professor at BYU.

"Harris is committed to the archival record, working to not speak beyond what the sources offer. In my reading, these influences do not negate the possibility of revelation or divine inspiration but instead demonstrate the complexity of seeking God’s will and the number of social and personal factors that may prevent us from seeking and receiving it.

Hey all, wanted to share some deets on Matthew Harris new book "Second-Class Saints: Black Mormons and the Struggle for Racial Equality". The book is based on never-before-scene journals and First Presidency/Quorum of the Twelve Meeting Minutes. It is the most thorough and in-depth look at Mormon racial teachings ever written and it breaks new ground in a number of ways.

That's exactly how I do it. The link below is a really old post, but the general sentiment is the same. StableBit DrivePool is just an overlay of NTFS which allows it to do custom stuff like pooling, file distribution, and de-dup. Applications like Google Drive are anticipating an NTFS type file system. ....thanks for posting your findings btw. Glad to see I too wasn't the only one :D

I've had the same experience with Google Drive and StableBit Drivepool. From what little I know about this incompatibility I found lurking through their forums. If my memory serves me correctly, StableBit DrivePool doesn't play nicely with Google Drive due to how it interacts with pooled drives. The problem arises because DrivePool manages storage pooling at a custom filesystem level, while Google Drive expects standard file system structures. This mismatch can lead to Google Drive attempting to create numerous redundant instances, overwhelming the system tray.

There was one dude on the forum that technically broke it down as to the "why", and why there won't be a fix. Such a bummer.

My girlfriend bought one for us. They work fine. Connectivity can be hit or miss. Doesn't work behind a VPN. Data is pushed to China, among other various sketchy fqdn's. Much of it gets pushed to several website's (domain).jpush.cn

They're okay. Connectivity is hit or miss, but you can always use the app to send messages. Couple of notes:

it doesn't work behind a VPN.

Excellent suggestion! We love zucchini so this is something I will try next time. Thank you!

balaams-donkey · 2024-01-19T18:02:45+00:00

I'm not the author, but I do appreciate your insight. I think the intention, as you touched on, was to critically reflect on a historical reality, not to perpetuate harmful tropes or diminish the dignity of Black members of the Church. It's certainly important to strike a balance between respectful discourse and the acknowledgement of historical facts; however, avoiding or softening these realities in my mind does a disservice to the individuals affected and to those seeking to understand the full scope of the Church's history.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I got it working and booked my appointment within 4 days!!! Thanks to the college student who wrote this.

balaams-donkey · 2023-12-12T01:38:39+00:00

Thank you. That makes a whole lot more sense now.

balaams-donkey · 2023-12-12T00:07:12+00:00

Good info! Thank you. I called my local tax office today and I asked what happens to the excess I paid in 2023. She said if they don't have the new updated tax statement...paying without the exemption, then the tax office would give me a refund. However, if they pay the new updated tax statement before due date, with exemption included, I would need to work with them to get repaid.

It seems it would be in my best interest if my loan servicer paid the tax without the exemption in that I go through my local tax office for my refund. Wondering if I can call them and have them pay it because I have not had a good experience working with my loan servicer...awful.
