European guy, weird by default.

You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let’s see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.

    Yes. And I use only rugged phones.

    I work in an environment where not having one would be very unwise but even before I’ve used screen protectors. It became standard practice from the moment the usable screen area became too large to not being worthy of protecting by my own means and efforts.

    I’ve used those flexible anti scratch protectors, the hard, glass like, and the new generation gel films. I personally prefer the hard, supposedly tempered, screen protectors.

    It is a learned skill to apply a screen film properly, I’ll admit, as I will admit I have ruined my share of it. I used to just buy it in bulk to allow for mistakes.

    There are quite affordable vaccum machines that do wonders for those who are less apt at applying those films. Only work for hard glass or flexible; the gel ones have to be precision cut.

    If you wear a lot of films, it may be a reasonable expense. Applying one protecting film can cost me anywhere between €8 to €20. The machines I’ve seen cost around €60.






  • Isn’t that a japanese thing? With cafes where you go to talk with a person?

    But back to the subject at hand.

    I could see this as a way to get someone’s help to take some groceries home or some large object a single person can’t, as it is too akward to hold alone.

    Or as a personal guide or to have company to go to/through somewhere someone does not feel comfortable.

    I don’t say this much but that is actually a good idea, considering the amount of people that live very lonely and isolated lives. Maybe this can help some people to talk, enjoy another’s company, etc. Maybe. Everything else the effing internet and tech companies tried only managed to push people apart…
