u/Krometheous

Hey guys for about 3 weeks now since ive had the trifold and made it my main phone from my s25 u callers have been telling me that im breaking up constantly but im using the same Sim that was in the s25 u and that one worked flawlessly. Is there any troubleshooting steps I can do or could it be perhaps my device hardware?

I made a previous post how my quest 3 wont charge past 72%. I did factory reset, hold power button for 20 to 45 seconds, updated software etc. Nothing works and meta is offering me to buy a refurbished one for 359.

Should i pay a 100 deductible to asurion since I have home protect?

Just buy a new quest 3 from best buy and it will be covered by my total membership?

Wait for quest 4?

Or deal with my other vr headsets like steam frame?

Sorry for all these posts but what are other good trifold accessories? Like keyboard mouse set and such.

I just got my trifold today with your guys feedback but now it seems asurion says I have to use Verizon mobile protect but Verizon mobile protect is saying they wont cover trifold. Asurion tech care is for customers who dont have Verizon and non mobile devices from what they said. Any suggestions or advice on how to cover it?

Hey guys is there. A way to use a controller instead of a phone to connect to it?

I'm an electrical engineer with ~6 years across defense and medical devices. I have two offers and I'm stuck. Would appreciate perspective, especially from anyone who's been through SAP vetting or made an engineering-to-PM move.

My situation

• Currently at a medical device company. Stable, no clearance required.
• Secret clearance, loss of jurisdiction since around December 2024. My understanding is the ~24-month reinstatement window closes around December 2026, so the clock matters.
• I have meaningful consumer debt — several accounts that went delinquent, a couple sold to collection agencies. I'm clearing the delinquent ones this week and the rest are on current payment plans. Nothing in litigation, no judgments, no bankruptcy.

Offer A — Program Management (Boeing)

• ~$23k more than Offer B, and a real raise over my current salary
• Requires Secret only. No TS, no SAP.
• Cost Account Management / IPT lead. This is a pivot out of hands-on engineering.
• My concern: I've never done PM work. Tracking cost and schedule across a team, being accountable for numbers other people generate. I worry about the pressure and about making costly mistakes while learning.

Offer B — Vehicle Engineer (Northrop Grumman)

• Lower salary, counter-offer pending
• Requires Secret to start, then TS within about a year, then SAP access
• Closer to my actual discipline, though the hiring manager flagged that I'd be learning CATIA, Creo, and NX — my background is electrical (PCB layout, signal integrity, power distribution, test fixtures), not mechanical CAD.

What I'm trying to figure out

1. Guideline F realistically. Does resolved delinquent debt with documentation carry differently at Secret vs. TS vs. SAP? Is two years of clean history before SAP nomination enough mitigation, or does the original delinquency follow you regardless?
2. If SAP access is denied. For those who've seen it: what actually happens? Does the company find you another role, or are you out? Is it standard to get this in writing before accepting?
3. The PM pivot. If I do 1–2 years of cost account management, how hard is it to get back into hardware engineering? Does an active clearance offset the resume gap in technical work?
4. Timeline realism. For someone with LOJ inside the window, how long does Secret reinstatement actually take right now? And Secret → TS after that?
5. If I take the Northrop role would the SAP process start years after I start like 2028 if I get a Top Secret in 2027?

Is the fact that cross saves wont unlock trophies or achievements on other platforms if you transfer from switch 2 to other platforms a deal breaker? I really want to get cyberpunk and Witcher on switch 2 but have them already on my pc and handhelds and the fact the achievements wont unlocknkinda bothers me.

What do yall think?

\\+Background:

I’m 33 and have a degree in Electrical Engineering. My career so far has mostly been in manufacturing, operations, and production support (previously at Lockheed, Medtronic, currently at Abbott). With test roles from Boeing and Raytheon (both lay offs).

​To be completely honest, I am burnt out on the manufacturing floor and lab environments. I hate the physical restrictions (cleanrooms, not being able to have my water or meals at my desk to track my macros), and I carry a lot of daily anxiety about accidentally breaking expensive hardware or test equipment. I also don’t feel like I have the deep technical design chops for heavy R&D or Project Engineering roles. I've never been the technical visionary inventing solutions; I've mostly just executed what was handed to me.

\\+​The Opportunity:

I have an interview this coming Tuesday for a Project Management Specialist (IPT Lead) position at Boeing in their space systems division. The role is heavily focused on schedule management, running Integrated Product Team (IPT) reviews, tracking action items, and presenting status updates to leadership.

​I actually have some experience with this from my time at Lockheed, where I hosted IPT reviews and managed production bottlenecks, but I've never held the official "Project Manager" title.

\\+​My Hesitations:

\\+​The Stress Swap: I am trying to figure out if the administrative stress of PM (herding cats, dealing with delayed schedules, presenting bad news to directors) is better or worse than the physical anxiety of the lab.

\\+​OCD & Structure: I have a strong need for structure and predictability. I feel like PM can be chaotic because of unpredictable human variables, though I’m hoping managing it all through rigid trackers and spreadsheets will help me cope.

\\+​Past Trauma: I got put on a PIP years ago at Lockheed because of a supplier delay that was out of my control, and it left a bad taste in my mouth regarding being held responsible for things other people fail to deliver.

\\+​Systems Engineering: I’m also considering trying to pivot into Systems Engineering (managing requirements, DOORS) because it seems even more rule-based and objective, but I don't have an interview for that right now.

\\+​My Ask:

For those who have made the jump from hands-on engineering to Project Management, is the trade-off worth it to get a desk job? Is dealing with schedule slips ("red font" on a tracker) easier to leave at work at 5:00 PM than a broken device on a test bench? Should I go all-in on this Boeing interview, or hold out to try and break into Systems Engineering? If how how can I best prepare since the recruiter isnt really willing to help as ive never done a non technical interview before. I still have a Northrop hiring event for this 9/1 that could lead to other opportunities and waiting to hear back from a Boeing space test design role as well.

So from my last post, I was worried about possible corrosion on the pcb from my cat spilling a bit of green tea near my legion go 2. Against my better judgement i decided to open it up and see if there was any damages etc. The good news there wasnt any traces I could see but the bad news I saw I broke 2 clips on it. I know some of you say its normal etc but im kinda pissed since I tried to keep this thing in immaculate condition. Is this common? Is it worth getting a new backplate and swapping the retail stickers on it like the serial number etc? I knew i should have let geek squad do it but i was worried they might break it off and not notice or not tell me while they reassemble it in their back office. So purely just trying to cope and tell myself its not tainted. (I have ocd btw)

Some green tea got into my legion go 2 that works but still have concerns

My cat jumped around and splashed a bit of green tea on my legion go 2 top part like 6 weeks ago or so. Lenovo sent me new controllers for free so I have 2 pair. And the device seems ok but should I still exchange it to best buy? The device still works perfectly but I am paranoid with ocd and all. Is there any concern of latent defect? I did try to suck the liquid out asap when it happened but idk

For legion go 2 controllers not working on reboot thanks to @andycabrera17.

-uninstall windows preview update -684

For legion go 2 not waking up after entering sleep mode and solid white forcing you to do a hard reset

-lenovo told me to download latest amd chipset drivers

-go into bios and go back to default settings. I suspect it was because I had amd v disabled but idk.

I cant remember if I always had legion space open in the background or not upon startup but when I try to boot into big picture mode for steam or xbox the controllers dont work unless I start legion. Space. Is this a bug or some setting I need to change? I could have sworn I had this working without legion space.
