said bye for now to my good phone repair guy but realized even he’d (and I’d) fallen victim to Chinese Components Syndrome, where this thing (like screen glass) proved itself like 4 years ago so you kept getting it while the supplier calibrated exactly how fast they could make it cheap & shitty without you picking up

I mean like I wasn’t breaking up with him, he was moving back to Madison to take care of his parents and consider setting up as a commercial van rather than a storefront
