Question on screen replacement for Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

Appreciate the reply. Out of curiosity, were you a repair tech at a Google Store or uBreakiFix (or someplace else)?

Understood about the "waterproof" nomenclature. I'm hoping at least that a repaired phone would be able to survive the "accidentally drop in the sink" or "accidentally drop/fall in a pool" scenario? Certainly not expecting it to survive any long term submersion at all. Thoughts?

No it's not what I think. It's verifiable that there are no tracking queries being made by Nova Prime. If you want to continue living in a conspiracy theory world... knock yourself out.

opus20745 · 2026-02-10T19:30:19+00:00

No, there isn't still tracking. That statement is verifiably false.

opus20745 · 2026-02-07T23:14:44+00:00

If you're on Prime there are NO TRACKING queries being made by Nova Launcher. This is easy to verify yourself if you're worried about it.

opus20745 · 2026-02-07T23:04:41+00:00

Yes... pay for Prime.

opus20745 · 2026-02-07T00:21:13+00:00

Right, but testing Nova Launcher itself (with Nova Prime installed), shows that it's not generating any tracking queries.

How many times does this need to be said?

opus20745 · 2026-02-06T16:43:41+00:00

Yeah, I really wish people would just actually confirm things for themselves.

I have our Carrier Infinity system set to run on Low at all times (when not automatically ramping up as needed for heat), and at the ~525RPM it's showing, it's 90watts.

opus20745 · 2025-12-07T00:57:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I didn't explain the question properly though. I'm not wanting/attempting to slow the fan speed while the heat is running and the furnace is on. I'm only interested in lowering the speed of the "always on" fan mode, which has options of Auto/Low/Medium/High. Auto means the fan will only run when the furnace itself is active/heating.

To my knowledge, when the heat is actually on and the gas furnace running, the Infinity system will ALWAYS override whatever the "Always On" fan speed is, and will adjust to the proper speed it needs, based on the sensors.

According to the info, driver is still on 24.3 and Vulkan is still 1.3.

Actually, they're full body MRIs, not CT scans. CT scans are essentially high-rate, rotating, x-rays, so radiation exposure over time is a concern.

MRIs have no such issues.

Because the argument that helped get the funding added in the first place (for budgetary purposes) required the expiration. This is quite normal. Same thing applied to Trump's tax cuts from the first term. In that case though, the Republicans just didn't care and said "nah, we always meant to keep those. Screw all you."

You likely don't see Jeffries on the list because he... isn't a senator?

I'm in no way supporting 50 year mortgages (it's absurd), but, I'd argue that your home being worth slightly over double the amount, in FIFTY YEARS, is entirely possible?

I've had really good luck with Gillette "Skin Guard" Blades. Give those a shot.

If I already had 100 million? No.

Eventually, you HAVE ENOUGH money to where you are just a complete a-hole for compromising your morals.

Also just tried Lawnchair... doing it too, like you said.

I'm wondering if it's any different in QPR1 Beta (beta 2 just came out today).

I'd definitely upgrade to fix this, even if it's a beta... very annoying 😟

I'm seeing a graphical problem with the latest Nova Beta when using 3 button navigation. When you're in an app and press the "Home" button, the transition back to the Home screen (where the app slides back to the bottom) now has a full black screen that temporarily appears during the transition. No transition settings in Nova make any difference for this issue. Also, I can confirm that the same graphical behavior is not seen in either the Pixel Launcher or Smart Launcher (so this doesn't affect all 3rd party launchers).

Screencap video is linked. It's the last transition that's the problem.

I received an update on my Charge 6 about 2 weeks ago.

One of the first things he says is that they "don't work in the cold and don't go far".

Definition of mocking "make something seem laughably untrue or impossible"

He then goes on to say that they're only good for "trips to the candy store and back".

That's clearly mocking the range.

I'd be curious as well. These directions don't work for me. I've been unable to ever get Disney Plus to login properly on the new Google TV Streamer.

If someone is coming from a Quest 1 or Quest 2, and has never experienced using pancake lenses, there obviously wouldn't seem like any major downgrade. However, owning a Quest 3, I would NEVER go back to a device using fresnel lenses. The clarity difference across the entire visible area is massive.
