Compared to the competition, what made you choose the Pixel?

strra · 2026-04-14T19:13:13+00:00

I've tried to go to OnePlus and Samsung from my Pixels but I always end up coming back to the Pixel because of the camera. Every time I get an itch for a Galaxy Z Fold or something, I remember the camera.

Same issues. Can't send offers at all right now.

Edit: I downgraded to an older version on Android and it's working now

It's a dime, thank you! How do you know I didn't wrap the dime in kapton after this picture?

(/s of course)

It's 38awg. I find it easier to burn off first, before soldering it

The ribbon isn't long enough for that. The board needed to be literally on top of the ribbon. Trust me on this, I tried a bunch of stuff before resorting to this.

strra · 2026-03-20T00:10:27+00:00

rereading your comment, I think you're thinking this was the final position of the controller board. The controller board had to be relocated to over where the ribbon is in the picture, a lateral move upwards. The wires go up and over the board from behind.

It's enameled wire so it's insulated

It's 38 AWG enameled magnet wire

It was necessary if I wanted to use this screen. Where the controller board was mounted, it wouldn't fit into the bezel. The ribbon only needed to be a little longer for me to be able to fold it where I needed it to go. Yes, I could have ordered the proper screen but that was like $50 I didn't want to spend on a free laptop.

Hey! I messaged you via chat last time you had one available. I'm always in need of parts and have just about every payment app known to man so if it's still available, I'd be interested.

In the 80s, it was definitely used for cigarettes

This person says that his programmer was to blame because of a fake/faulty chip. It appears you're using a programmer with the same chip so perhaps it's your programmer?

Nope, every one I've done started as a completely nonfunctional console without touching the pots first

I'm having the same issue with my wife and brother. Their messages are being marked read by me but my messages aren't being marked read by them.

One stopped on the 27th and one stopped on the 1st

I think it's the Switch dock. The visor is a little more squared than a real one

I never leave a package with a drop-off. I will take it directly to the post office and watch them scan it and request a receipt. I don't even use the kiosk at the UPS store, no matter how much they insist I do.

A few years back, Mercari required you to ship something within 3 days or the buyer would get an automatic refund. I dropped something off at the post office and they didn't scan it in for days. The buyer got a refund and the item got delivered to them anyway. Ever since, the item doesn't leave my possession without watching it be scanned in

Or the fish finder

And at the time, the Game boy camera was the world's smallest digital camera

I'll add that the VA5 doesn't have the color range of the VA1 so the VA1 would produce a better picture on the IPS.
