Not a direct answer to the question, but relevant; they make a film you can put on your windows that holds them together when shattered. This could theoretically cause a grenade to bounce instead of penetrating. Not an expert, do your research before assuming it will work.
For boys, the incel and alpha male shit is what I see really affecting their life trajectories. Once they get into those mindsets they start to repel good influences and quickly end up in echo chambers. The only people who will put up with them are equally toxic and they feed off each other and quickly spiral. A good boy can turn into a woman hating rebel that doesn’t listen to any adults shockingly quickly.
Unfortunately, I do not know specifically where this content lives for you to block. I’d definitely start with YouTube and tiktok. Also, talk to your kids about this stuff! It’s great that you’re trying to responsibly manage their Internet access. A lot of parents don’t, and everything you’re protecting them from on their electronics they can easily pick up from others at school. Even if you homeschool to prevent this eventually they’ll grow up and leave the nest. The only holistic way to give them the best shot (no method is guaranteed, they still have free will) is to teach them the critical thinking skills and morals they need to identify and reject this stuff on their own.
Don’t worry, they’ll be back next election cycle. That’s when they pretend to care so much and fight. All the candidates that genuinely care, on both sides, get shut down by the big dogs before they ever make it to the public eye.
I had it replaced once, perhaps 15 months after purchasing. The problem was not with the screen, but the screen protector was separating down the seam. Possibly due to my profession in the medical field, which occasionally sees me and my phone exposed to high intensity UV light. Apparently this shrinks the material. Modern phones aren’t something you can so easily work on yourself. I had it replaced by an authorized repair shop in my area. Apparently they had a recall on either the whole model or my production run, because they had a one time replacement deal for $250. This got me a new internal screen, battery, and possibly hinge?
I love having a foldable. It makes reading, writing, and media consumption so much more enjoyable. But still fits in the pocket unlike a tablet. I don’t have any particular loyalty to Samsung, but it’s the best foldable I’ve found so far.
Fold 5. Battery is getting annoying, so decent odds I pick up the 8 when it drops in the summer. I miss the days when you could just pop a battery out. It’s expensive but the larger screen is amazing and I’ll probably never go back. I’m not married to having a Samsung foldable specifically, but the only really competitive options are banned in the US.
