Can someone explain this to me, especially the boomers?

Uhhhhh twitter.com/markgurman/status/1118575264026333185?s=20

My dad kept the plastic film on his 3310's screen from the day he bought it until the day it died over 10 years later.

To me that's admirable.

it's not just boomers though, there are people on this board who do shit like this to """"retain"""" """"""""""resale value""""""""""""" which is another excuse for masochistic poorfags who can't enjoy things they own

I kept the plastic on the back of my monitor for about a year, keeps dust off and then it looked brand new when I finally took it off.

took the plastic off the sides and everywhere it was obvious tho right away

This but unironically

It makes it last longer, I don't like giving money to the phone company jew every year. My phone is 5 years old and it still works fine.

>It makes it last longer
u wot?
are you 45+ years by any chance? or a women? or a liberal arts student?

And then when they DO remove them we call them retards.

>take plastic off like Reddit because they made a fetish out of it
>buy a $89 screen protector to put another sheet of plastic back on to it
>screen smashes because the 175$ otterbox case didnt protect the screen
>buy a new phone cause you were planning to anyway since your facebook friends are talking about how great the new one is

Why does nobody question that these screens are shipped with a foil on them? If they weren't so fragile and wouldn't immediately show finger prints of anyone who touched them, they wouldn't need to put it on.

Based and redpilled

this is everyone ITT making fun of boomers
ironic

>not buying $4 tempered glass screen protector
>not buying $18 unicorn beetle
>leaving the nasty plastic on your phone

I used to do that, I considered it "one free scratch" since I could remove it and have a new looking device after some time. I now buy whatever gorilla warfare screen protection fits my phone on aliexpress whenever I buy a new phone.

Or leave it until I finish installing it properly on my desk or whatever, and never actually doing it.

Even worse is when they buy a screen protector. Now they're actually paying to add a layer on it.

But the plastic phones usually come with makes them respond badly to touch, and often covers the earpiece speaker holes.

>not protecting your stuff
Enjoy your cracked screen, I will enjoy my phone for many years while you waste money on new phones every year.

>oof
Back to redddit you go. Shoo! Shoo!

What a dumbass! And people look to him for advice

You have a face problem

Nah, go look at your local welfare line. They mostly have iPhones.

They just don't know. My grandparents TV they've had for 9 years still has the plastic on. I told them last year. They didn't know and didn't want it off.
My dad just out a screen protector on his new phone... Even though it already came with one pre installed.

Not just that
But how the fuck do people have a dirty screen and not clean it?
My boomer father has one with literal water droplet marks,dirt build up, dryed food or something, and other things on it. He uses it and doesn't give any thought to it at all
How fucking hard is it to take a damp rag and clean that shit?
It grosses me out whenever I have to touch it

>be me
>$5 chink tpu case
>$2 glass screen protector
I've broken about 8 screen protectors but never the screen underneath. The screen protector breaks and releases the energy unlike plastic ones.
I've dropped my phone face down onto the concrete and my screen protector spiderweb but when I scraped the glass off, the actual screen was unharmed

>boomer family friend gets new smartphone
>he puts a cover on it but keeps the factory screen protector on
>"it's keeping it safe from scratches!"
>a month goes by and all of the edges have lifted up
>everytime he takes the phone out of his pocket it captures dirt, sand, lint under the cover
>2 months later the cover loses all it's tackiness and falls off
>"WHAT THE FUCK? WHY IS MY SCREEN SCRATCHED? I HAD A COVER!"

I've used phones without protectors for many years and never had a problem with cracked screens. You can just replace the digitizer and screen yourself if it breaks instead of buying an entirely new phone.

I had a sleek dell pc that i kept the plastic on for 5 years. Took off the plastic and the front got scratched up in literally hours. FUCK the peel meme

None of my stuff ever gets scratched, what the fuck is up with most of you troglodytes? Seriously.

You know you can buy an older generation phone for relatively cheap right?

I buy tempered glass for my phones. No issues with screen sensitivity, and it gives me peice of mind. Plastic is pointless and doesn't actually protect your phone in the event of an actual accident.

tempered glass screen protectors makes the screen less responsive even by a minute difference, plus edge gestures get fucked over.

plastic ones are still prone to scratching.

liquid gel costs too much.

i just leave the screen nakes, not like i'll have sapphires rattling around in my pocket or bag anyway.

take it off when they aren't looking

>Retarded boomers
Shut the fuck up you little shit. And no I'm not mad that my eyesight is detèriorating, I just deserve respect and not to be told I'm a retarded boomer, you annoying little sperg.

This is similar to the way pajeet monkeys runt their software setups. Get it all working, and then NO ONE EVER TOUCH AGAIN because that shit is dangerous patches are for idiots policies fuck things only person who can add users is a single dude through the menu system. Fear mentality.

Better for resale

Why do all boomers have such violent anger problems?
They're all either child abusers or wife beaters. It's both pathetic and scary.

Bunch of sad sacs.

> friend buys newest xiaomi
> doesn't use any screen protector
> it cracks the first time he drops it
> now he applied one of those plastic screen protectors
> screen is literally full of bubbles, just like OP's picture
why

have you tried not dropping your things like a retarded baby

imagine being so much of a c u c k that next owners enjoyment matters more to you than your own

Everyone drops their phone sooner or later, this is a fact of life, don't pretend you can escape it.

go past 30 y/o and you'll find out on your own family

fuckin zoomers I swear

I don't think they care. I'm starting to notice these same symptoms as I get older. Just generally not caring about shit like this.

yeah, my grandpa refuses to remove the plasitc from his 4 year old laptop because he thinks it'll increase the resale value
i wouldnt even pay $10 extra with the plastic still on it but he's convinced it'll retain full retail value since he always uses an external kb/m

I just browsed the otterbox website out of curiosity, why do these cases cost $70? they are just bits of plastic and rubber.

they even have an ipad case for 120 fucking dollars and it is entirely made out of plastics and rubber you would find in a storage tub

Retro stuff also appreciates but you have to store it for 20+ years before you have a hope of turning a profit on it, not many people are that dedicated.

i had been using smartphones since symbian and i haver never dropped them nor had a broken screen
kindly debloat yourself out of the gene pool, klutz

Yeah, it also goes for myself and my cousins in this sense, boomers just don't care anymore... We just don't want to admit to ourselves.

lots of boomers (60+, not 30 y/o boomers) have the mentality of "saving" things for when it's "important". like when i'd go to my great aunt's house and she'd have plastic covered sofas to "save" them for when guests come over.

but she never took that plastic covering off, even for us. this is the life. you're living it now. the things we own are to be used. if they break, we can fix it (or at least used to be able to, in the case of modern technology).

so when they unbox something and see that it has plastic on it, they think "oh good, that's there to help save it for later" and not "get this shit off so i can enjoy the product and get on with my life". everything comes later for them. there's some magic destination we're all heading towards that is better than the journey.

In my case they all of die of cancer before retirement, or right after.

Those factory plastic covers are nasty but I always get me a proper one. Screens are just too flimsy without them.
I prefer the plastic ones actually. Glass just breaks way too quickly. The soft plastic foil actually should take some impact whereas glass just shatters.

This is peak zoomercore lifestyle

I've had my phone for many years too. You don't need a case for that, you just need to not drop it.
The screen isn't gonna crack by itself.

Digitizers are a lot more expensive and you can get fucked over with some of those shitty chink replacements

>you just need to not drop it.
The true patrician tier!
I also don’t use a condom, you just need to watch whom you fuck and pull out at the right moment. And i don’t use safety belts since I drive carefully. And helmets? Just make sure you don’t walk under hanging stuff. And sunscreen? Don’t get me started on that... just stay in mommies basement! I never have to use the stuff, it’s just a scheme by (((then))) to Part wagies of their money!!!
Tips fedora.

Have you tried not dropping it?
I own my Pixel for more than 2 years and screen is still pristine.

These are the kind of second hand systems I love to get. Much better than receiving one coated in cum and food.

>And helmets?
Are you wearing a helmet right now?

Except it's easy not to drop it if you have a positive iq but most people don't have this luxury

t. seething klutz
go drop yourself outta window

>wanting scratch and dust oil to fuck it up as soon as possible instead of waiting with some plastic.

>I also don’t use a condom, you just need to watch whom you fuck and pull out at the right moment.
This is true.
Had active sex life (with a single partner) up until recently with no issues.
>And i don’t use safety belts since I drive carefully. And helmets? Just make sure you don’t walk under hanging stuff.
There are illegal.

tbqh people with fraying fucked up screen protectors are even cringier than those with cracked screens

Pajeet go

Nope. Office day today. But when I’m at a construction site, I wear one. Or when I’m /out/ climbing.

Maybe some people just have a live that’s more eventful than yours and don’t want to risk wrecking their phone every day.

>Caring this much about literally a thin piece of barely visible plastic film

How about you stop staring at Facecuck and japanese porn games 24/7

>Pajeet
Not even close.

>There are illegal
What illegal are there?

What is auto-correct?
>Inb4: Phoneposter

But assuming “there” = “they’re” makes even less sense.
Where the fuck are helmets illegal?

Sodomites do this because of teh leaky ass. Your aunt was getting railed by BBC for decades. That's what the plastic is for.

Are you literally retarded?
It was supposed to be "these are illegal".
As in "it is illegal to drive without your seat belt unless your car was not equipped with one" and "it is illegal to operate on a construction site without appropriate protection, which includes helmets for some areas".

I guess you are the retard. Your original statement with the quote above clearly states (with the they’re correction) that helmets are illegal.

Fuck off old man, not only am I balls deep in your whore wife, I'll also shit in your mouth.

Yikes!

you gotta be another kind of poorfag to resell electronics

You fucking americans take cover even off your penis.
God I hate you, death to america.

You made them feel stupid, and they didn't like it.

>Maybe some people just have a live that’s more eventful than yours and don’t want to risk wrecking their phone every day.
Poors do and if they break their overpriced toy then they deserved it.
Never try to overclass yourself, you will ultimately lose at some point.

Too true mate

Crippling loneliness during your most vulnerable years turns you into a joyless, bitter husk
