Barrier is synergy but no cost
E: It works fine for me across macos, windows and Linux but I don’t use Wayland so that might affect you.
E2 looks like Wayland breaks barrier.
I gave a quick overview in another post, but in case you’d like some guidance unique to your repair, post pictures with the legs of the port and the spot it goes in with good enough focus and zoom that I can see the traces and pads and legs.
I do this kind of repair work every day, if everything is in good shape it’s no problem but if you have a damaged port or ripped pads/traces then you’ll need to change tack a little.
You’re gonna need a hot air station. If it’s actually usb3 and not just usb in a c sized connector then you usually wont be able to do it with just an iron.
The process is:
Clean the site and all through holes (they won’t be for usb pins but instead for physical connection). Use flux.
Reapply solder to all surface mount pads.
Preheat the area.
Apply flux.
Manipulate the new port into place. If you can, tack it down at a few spots.
Reflow all the pins. Use flux.
Have you confirmed that the port itself isn’t damaged? The pads it connects to?
Im making this reply to help you better respond to people, not to start a fight:
Hey, just a heads up, your cfr link directly cites Adrian zenz, the person many people don’t trust to make even handed statements about China, directly twice.
The vox link sources statements from him several times. I tried to just quickly parse what was what but I came up with seven different statements.
The bbc article seems to reference zenz in six different claims.
I wasn’t able to give these articles a deep read, or check if the other sources also pull from that particular controversial figure or his organizations.
Spoiler, the word is: it’s bad!
Someone already said “they all already work that way”,
But what are you actually trying to do?
