I dont want to start a fight or anything like that, I have to decide between these 2 and cant figure out which is the best and why, mostly because if you ask on X they just start swearing to each other without giving any real explanation, can anyone help a person who want to embrace privacy and anonimity?

    While I am agreeing somewhat, and I haven’t been active in the community much. The few encounters I had was in the matrix chat . Yea toxic af . Checked in too see now , scrolled a bit but quite civil atm.

    I repair pixel phones as an hobby / side gig and yea not comparable withe fairphone, but still repairable , better than a lot of others but depends on models.

    I buy second hand in bulk and repair whats needed. Bonus of no trail to Google as well.

      Off topic: but about repairing pixels as a side gig.

      For the Pixel 5A5G, the screens not being responsive issue, it appears to be widespread. The discussion forums, and the Google forums, simply refer to it as a “motherboard issue”.

      In your experience is that more likely to be a bad BGA join coming loose over time? Is the most likely repair option for those devices reballing the BGA on the CPU?
