This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they’re now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

    What part can’t be repaired? Some parts may be soldered to the board, but the board can be fixed without Googles blessing.

    And upgrades were never a part of the original comment, so what does that have to do with my comment?

      you seem to have answered your own question.

      if i can’t cheaply repair an old board, or source parts, it’s not repairable.

      upgrading is part of what makes old computers still usable.

        Upgrading isn’t repairing, and I said you can repair these devices. My question is what CAN’T you repair, not what can be repaired (which is what I did answer).

            No, you tried making the false equivalence of claiming that if it cant be fixed for cheap, then it somehow isnt fixable at all.

            So it’s i can’t get a car fixed for less than $100, I guess that means cars aren’t fixable?

              if your 25 year old car head gasket blows, does it matter it’s fixable if it costs 2k to fix? it’s being scrapped for another beater.

              now transport this analogy to 5 year old phones, except 5 years old is not much.
