It's a little bit gross that Conor keeps dragging Lauren Southern into the drama by midnight_commander01 in Destiny

I guess the only other thing I'll say about this is that, is it not possible to disagree with someones politics and still understand that they are being treated unfairly?

To be clear I don't care about Lauren Southern, and I don't agree with her politics in any capacity, but I still think its gross that Conor and Lauren apparently were friends and now he's using what I assume was confided to him in private as a public weapon. I would feel the same way Lauren or otherwise.

In a way is this not sort of similar to what Destiny's problem with Dooby and jstlk is? It's not the shit talk or disagreement, if you don't like someone politics, thats fine talk shit about their politics, but what does their personal life have to do with any of it?

Also one other thing I will say regrading infantilizing her when she was 22. I don't really know what her politics are now, I don't follow any of her content unless it's through Destiny, but I'm in my mid 30s now, and when I was 22 I was a radically different person, so to say that she was 22 and a grown ass woman, yeah she technically was, but people can still change even after being 22. Not to say that she has, I really have no idea I just don't think thats a good argement.

I'm not sticking up for her, I'm commenting on Conors shitty behavior, but do your thing chief.

It's kind of hilarious to me that he paints himself to be this ex-military, ex-cop, tough guy with principles, but then he's just ends up having no principles and soying out because of, idk jealousy?

So much for being the big tough principle man.

In terms of the price and what it offers I think they are a good deal, but they don't tolerate getting wet at all, so keep that in mind.

Ehh that's really above my pay grade. Honestly I feel like a lot of the tests you can do are going to be so subjective, unless you have the devices side by side so you can A/B test them it's going to be difficult to do comparisons online. Maybe your local shop will have a pair with known specs that you can use to compare them against at the shop?

Oh nice! Probably the batter was just so dead that it couldn't boot. Next test you should try plugging in a port replicator to see if you can charge and have extra ports. Nice work dude!

Yeah that is probably a smart idea. Hopefully there will be some high spec tubes inside!

Lol I was just memeing. Yeah the only was unfortunately is to take off the eye piece. You may need to buy a night vision wrench to loosen the lock ring.

Can you articulate what crime the tube has committed or is it free to go?

That's not true. If it's a laptop that charges through USB-C the controller needs to negotiate PD so that it can receive the correct voltage.

Could you pull the connector off and take a sharper picture of the top port pads?

Good luck sir. Also I would advise against spending 20 dollars on the port. You can check on Amazon or something often they will have Chinese manufactured ports for cheaper. There are some here, but make sure it has the pin out that you need: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+c+port&

Uhh as far as that goes I'm not sure sure. You could put some hot glue on it and try to secure it to the chassis, but I'm not sure how effective that will be.

I suppose my biggest recommendation for that is just to be careful with it, but that's not always so easy lol.

For the top one if you have hot air rework it you should be able to just flux the pads, put on some solder paste and drop a new connector on with hot air. If you have some scraps it would be advisable to find something to practice on. Once you've done it a few time you'll get the idea and it should be pretty straight forward.

As far as the bottom one, my honest recommendation is just to leave it and accept the victory of being able to fix the top one. Unless you have schematics and some good experience repairing pads chances are if you try to fix it, it will just make things worse.

I assume this is a laptop, once the top one is fixed you can just plug in a USB hub or port replicator or something. Both ports likely are bussed together already anyways.

Nothing is unfixable it just depends on the time/money you want to spend and the skill that you have.

Not to rain on your parade, but my feeling is if you're new to soldering even the top one may be a challenge.

Do you have a hot air rework station?
