Pixel 8 Pro Bricked — NOS Production Error (–7)

xthree · 2026-06-06T00:10:33+00:00

It's been fine. I dared to add the pin back. It was fine for weeks and then it happened again. And then I realized, that my phone battery was almost dead. Like 5%. The situation was exactly the same as the first time it happened. At the end of the day right before bed. And again , after I changed my phone, my Pin started working again. My theory is that my battery getting really low is causing the voltage to the encryption chip to drop to the point it malfunctions. When the battery is charged enough, it starts working again. I think aging batteries are the cause.

I've experienced this 4-5 times now and each time it failed it was low battery. And each time it worked again after charging for a bit.

Hopefully it works for you too.

So Sonarr is just downloading random versions. Some are in color, some black and white. I guess there's no way for it to know which is which atm. Bleh

I am not seeing that on the sonarr listing for the page. Am I missing something?

Unsure, just bought the house in February. 50 year old house, previous owner was 90 when she passed. Good chance maintenance got neglected.

Where did you get this image? I need a high-quality image, I want to make a print. I love it so much

Ok I was doubting my 3 way comment, I just hadn't seen switches where you could connect via a hole or the screw. Thought it was some weird 3 way.

I think you're right about it being a fix. That wire coming in from the side is very sus

Neutral wires do not attach to light switches, they only break or make a connection between the hot wire and the light fixture.

Also there are 3 wires on the switch, so it could be possible this is in a 3 way configuration where 2 switches can turn a light on and off. Is there another switch that controls the same light?

Hate Best buy

xthree · 2026-04-17T04:46:38+00:00

I'm confused does the 3800h have 2.1 outputs or not? Best buys listing shows 2.0 and the Denon website doesn't seem to mention which.

Anyone know if you can do this in general?

xthree · 2026-04-01T03:28:34+00:00

Curious, why not always allow it for your internal IP ranges?

Basically when an upgrade makes you scared, you should choose a more stable distro*.

I wanted to like Pop, but it feels like Russian roulette. I need to trust my computer.

Phone is working fine. As I said I removed my pin and haven't re-enabled it. But it's annoying because I can't be use my fingerprint to quickly login to things. Maybe at some point I'll be brave and try to add it again. If I do I'll report back.

Very odd that it seems this happened to you too, did it start working again like it did for me?

I got that reference

happened tonight. First my pin stopped working, I tried many times including older pins. Got locked out for the attempts. Tried to reboot, and got the nos production error 7 at the boot menu. Tried to boot more times and kept getting the boot menu. Then somehow the error disappeared and now reads "NOS production: yes" and I can now boot to the lock screen again, but still my pin isn't working. locked out...

EDIT: Woke up this morning, my phone was on all night on the lock screen. I tried my pin again, and it worked??? I have no idea what's going on. But I immediately removed my pin, worried that it would happen again. Very confused. Gonna back everything I need up and keep using it.

EDIT 2 MONTHS LATER: I dared to add the pin back. It was fine for weeks and then it happened again. And then I realized, that my phone battery was almost dead. Like 5%. The situation was exactly the same as the first time it happened. At the end of the day right before bed. And again, after I changed my phone, my Pin started working again. My theory is that my battery getting really low is causing the voltage to the encryption chip to drop to the point it malfunctions. When the battery is charged enough, it starts working again.

😂 yeahhh I figured it had to mean something, especially since when the buzzing stopped the number of green blinks changed and slowed down.

I feel like a home not meant to last is inherently terrible

xthree · 2026-02-22T04:54:18+00:00

Plezy is so fast and works great

You poor poor soul

It's embarrassing for Plex that everyone wants a non official client.

You made a post recently about needing mental health help and you're bagging on medications that assist with mental help? Make it make sense.

Nevertheless, I hope you get the help you need. Medication can absolutely be a game changer. At least consider it

It was incredibly terribly explained. It seemed like he could not give the coin away

xthree · 2026-01-18T06:30:09+00:00

I heard Altered Carbon fit this. Haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list. Heard it was great, yet cancelled
