“I didn’t do anything to deserve this. The phone sat on my desk while I wrote about it, and I would occasionally stop to poke the screen, take a screenshot, or open and close it. It was never dropped or exposed to a significant amount of grit, nor had it gone through the years of normal wear and tear that phones are expected to survive. This was the lightest possible usage of a phone, and it still broke.”

This can happen to any phone of course — there are numerous threads on reddit of faulty S23 phones that are only days old, and of course the first Galaxy fold phones were problematic — but still. Rough start!

    Nah, I think we’re just built differently. Well, I’m built differently, with spare, broken, defective parts. Such is my life. Even modern e-ink readers give me eyestrain.

      Honestly, I’m jealous. Being a programmer means I spend a lot of time staring at LED displays whether I like it or not 🙃
