If LVM isn’t somehow mitigating the issue I will do a reinstall.
I have run out of space on / before and it is a huge pain in the ass. I do not need much room for /home on this system so I would prefer to be cautious and avoid problems down the road.
Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to specify this… maybe a different installer image.
custom rom is the reason I spent so much time trying to get a pixel.
but I am giving up on this one. next device is going to run lineage so I can have a wider variety to try to find one that works. maybe I’ll try a motorola.
there isn’t swappa in canada
no it was a refurb business that didn’t have exact item photos. Because the flashing is somewhat intermittent I wonder if it wasn’t quite as bad when they were looking at it, maybe something got knocked loose in transit?
Previous transaction in similar circumstances have had better luck. I am not very picky about display quality or case damage so burn in, dead pixels, dim lines, dents, small cracks etc are no issue and I stop noticing them pretty quickly. I get cheap 5/10 condition phones and they are plenty good enough for me. I have never seen the bright white line thing. Also didn’t realize that the display would be black where the cracks are; must be some great new display technology to prevent you from extending the life of a busted screen by applying a protector. Fantastic can’t wait till all phones have this.
I think everyone’s right I have to send it back. Very annoying… it’s harder to get this stuff in Canada if you are looking for custom ROM compatible phones. It’s so much work to find the correct kind of item. Shipping takes forever. Oh well cest la vie. I guess I shall have to read another paper book.
Yes this was the winner!
I have settled into kasts. Thanks for the rec. :) It is simple but does the job. If my phone issues persist I will try the flatpack of cpod.
it looks like a low-bs rss reader. nice!
I do not know about cat livers.
But my general personal opinion is that vets can tend to over investigate.
When you are getting into a series of tests for a cat (or for yourself), some good questions to ask are along the lines of:
what will change depending on the outcome of this test?
what would be the worst case scenario of not doing this test?
what are the risks of running this test?
Sometimes questions like this have led the vet to explain there is basically nothing to be done regardless of findings and the reason for the test is “to know”. If they suspect a diagnosis for which the treatment is $20k, and you will under no circumstance be able or willing to pay $20k, then there is effectively no treatment. So the real purpose of the test is to satisfy intellectual curiosity. If the test itself is expensive and/or uncomfortable for the animal, why bother?
If a likely outcome is more testing, then you need to keep digging. Endless investigations with no likely change in treatment is a service for the human to feel like they are doing the right thing, not a service for the cat to be more comfortable or healthy.
As an example, a cat developed a limp with no apparent discomfort for no known reason. He was an adventurous outdoor cat so some kind of injury was possible. I took the cat to the vet who found nothing on physical exam and xray. The vet wanted to then do a bunch of other imaging. When I learned what he thought could be going on, I read about the conditions. The treatment for those of which treatments even exist, is a very expensive (equivalent to several months of my take home income), invasive surgery with long recovery time. Complications always possible with such a procedure. You then have to do long term physical therapy to the cat. I am sure the cat in question would be miserable about all of this. And after all that, the chances that it will actually solve the problem are less than 50%. So therefore we elected to stop investigating.
That is my previous experience. I guess i missed it somehow.
