I was able to repair the back glass of my Samsung note 10+ when it cracked. Felt nice to be able to fix *something. * Maybe a screen I could replace, but if anything else failed, or if I want to keep some kind of warranty. I'm SOL.

Fuck the subscription model, it creates the incentive to produce devices that don't last, and software that's a temporary fix.
