Why use phone when PC best?

  • What are you people doing to your phones? Since smartphones started being a thing I haven’t cracked a single screen, and yes I do drop them. Not daily, but it happens. Not onto concrete from the 4th floor either.

    Or: Maybe spend more than 100$ on a phone and it’ll actually be fine, cause it isn’t shit?

    • I’ve Only ever cracked one screen and it wasn’t by dropping it but by having the phone in my pocket with the screen pointing away from me while I used my hip to push a cart at work. It was only a very small hairline crack but the screen and touch stopped working.

      My mother threw my phone out the window of the third floor once and a car drove over it … I could see all the screen but it was like split horizontally from a green and a red filter the touch worked only on the bottom half so I used to split screen with a useless app just so that the whole interested app stayed in the working area …I used the phone like that for a couple of months till i caught a bad glass splinter still have it in my finger today … 8 years later … I have more stories if you like …

        • It’s on the tip of the finger so it doesn’t get pushed often and you have to get a specific angle to feal it sting a bit… Never properly found it, being glass it’s so hard to see and those shard are so tiny (something like windscreens with chunks and super small shards… ) yeah never spoke about that either… I feared taking “a beat” from my mother shes kinda old school 😅
