Someone who basically just uses their screen to pull up a recipe to make dinner with is not going to have any problems. Similarly for someone who uses it to keep in contact with friends (directly, not via a social network).
Someone who only spends a half hour a day using their phone, but that usage is scrolling on twitter or some bullshit like that? They're absolutely going to have problems. It only takes a few seconds to read a post and then a shitty idea might lodge itself in their head.
Focusing on just screen time rather than the content on it is expressly not focusing on the root cause, and we're not going to fix anything if we focus on just the symptoms. It's like trying to ban hammers because someone is smashing your windows with one. The hammer isn't really the cause of the problem, and the person doing the smashing will continue a different way if they aren't stopped.
Partly because they'll know which ones they see least and/or have an easiest time with, but also that the perfect unbreakable machine doesn't exist; accidents & "acts of god" (as in the insurance term) happen even to the best built appliances. E.g. there're not many control boards that will survive a lightning strike.
Finally they will know other repair people and will talk shop with them from time to time, not least of all because they also need to buy appliances, and they know this same rule.
Unless they have some magic tech to deform the surface and also do the same fake click Apple does with their touch pads, this is going to suck massively.
You shouldn't need to look at your controller, basically ever
Hmm, seems exactly like the kind of training data you might need to create an AI that does VPN traffic analysis to then sell to the likes of Palantir/autocrats
I always say this when a question like this comes up:
Find a repair person for what you're looking to buy and ask them which brands and models last the longest and are easiest to get parts for and repair in your country. They are the people that actually know the answer.
Good quality shit still exists, you just need to pay for it, and if you remember the Terry Pratchett boots story, you'll know paying more up front is going to save you money in the long run
The hell are you on about?
