Context So, I bought a Pixel Tablet back in December 2023, low and behold it had issues with the touch screen where the digitizer wouldn’t register touches on the right half of the screen.

So I contacted google support today to see if I could get a left earpiece from my Pixel Bud Pro (Gen 1) replaced, silly me lost it while I was at the gym.
