Who else on this forum doesn't own a smartphone? Comment on here if you don't have one. I would love to know your reasons why as well
I have been heartened to know that I am not alone in standing against the mind numbing, anxiety machines that rule the modern world!
OK. So there are "screen protectors" that are glass - very thin stick-on glass. When those screen protectors break, it looks like the phone screen is broken....when it is infact not.
So....I'm proffering an additional explanation as to why you see so many broken screens - they are actually not broken, but the screen saver is.
I do appreciate that this immediately begs the next question = why don't they replace their cheap thin screen protector that has broken?......Answer= because people are lazy and don't care.
My hypothesis above is on reasonably good authority from young people.
From the Lemurs.
Gorrillas don't make glass you silly man, they steal it.
to be fair gorrilas arnt very advanced so im amazed they can make glass anyway, whatever glass they make would be of less quality than human glass so no wonder it broke
I've had a scratched screen because I didn't buy a case. I carried it in a pocket with no sharp objects, but it still developed a lot of fine scratches from normal wear and tear. And this phone was advertised as having Gorrila Glass. I also treated another cheaper phone with unbranded glass in the same and this one didn't get any scratches.
has Uri Gellar been near it?
speaking of unintentional weird breakages.... i noticed my spare motorbike key is bent and twisted and warped somehow lol i dont even know how that happened.
I must admit I've only ever bust one. It was in my overalls pocket and when I leaned over a void to poke down a wire I felt something crack...
But thereafter, I always had one of those fold out case cover doohickeys with the space for my cards
All my smartphones have been cheap, I have never cracked a screen. I'm now sitting on a coach and the woman in front of me is using a cracked screen phone
i dont get how screens crack though, i had my samsung a10 for years now, dropped it a few times and it is still fine and good as new with no damage.... maybe the a10 was built like a nokia 3310 lol
depends if its a iphone. if its a iphone only a official apple repairman is allowed to repair it and if anyone else touches it or tries to fix it apple sues them lol and apple repairmen cost more than the phone itself.
Guilty as charged.
I can answer that.
1. It's a big job and relatively expensive for most smartfones.
2. There's no guarantee that your phone will survive the procedure, unless you re really paying through the nose..
3. If you are the sort of person who cracks your screen, then it'll just get cracked again, so why bother?
What I don't understand is why so many smartphone users are walking around with cracked screens, when there are so many repair shops offering to replace screens.
Boomer !
To my utter embarrasment I find I had ticked the "give me test alerts option"...
I'm still going to turn all that stuff off, I simply don't trust it to be in any way good for me.
Any relationship with "Governement" is an abusive relationship.
I did not receive the alert. I took no special measures to avoid it because I bother to be concious of special measures every time I am forced to agree to terms on some form of "communications" platform. I am one of the people who read T&C's and track how they change and morph over time. It seems to have become commonplace amongst my peers and generation to simply click on "I Agree" buttons when they appear. This is blindness and madness.
I would not have been worry about a single deckchair on the Titanic, and I feel this alert thing is best thought of as worrying about whether a single hinge on a single deckchair had received its monthly greasing!
I do get the impression from many people that various forms of profound disquiet haunt the households and cultures that we currently find ourselves in. It is worrisome Caelus.
Exactly. It claimed to be a network test..
I can't hear people when I'm not wearing my glasses. But I think that's a different kettle of fish.
