So Dad bought a new phone after my sister smashed his tablet (which I thought was rather lame anyway). This time I told him to get a phone case and a screen protector, so that it might become slightly more smash-resistant. It's an iPhone 5, and I believe it's the most expensive phone out on the common market right now. Yay for hipster overpriced products! Though I'm glad he got himself something mainstream (okay, maybe not so hipster after all) and expensive, at least he knows where to get it fixed. Dad has the tendency to purchase things which seem rather dodge because they're a couple hundred cheaper, and then they'll break within the first year. And because Dad is so awkward, he won't actually go get it fixed, because it's too much effort.
And it's about time he actually spent money on what he wanted, as opposed to spending money on shitty substitutes. I do understand why someone would go for the substitute good, but if it does not in fact properly substitute what you originally wanted, the purpose is kind of defeated. At least now Dad is happy with his new tech.
...Though I wish he'd stop complaining about the size of his touchscreen.
I've been setting up his iPhone for the past hour, because I've never used a iPhone before, and I was used to having a physical back button. Then there was all that "Apple ID" crap, and Dad has the tendency to use the longest email addresses and the most baffling passwords, like Sa847XIe9 or something to that effect. No, that's not his actual password, you stupid. I was trying to say that his uses a completely random string of letters and numbers which he has forced into his memory.
...And that's my night! I kind of need to hand in my maths project tomorrow. It's largely finished, but I also have to deliver a presentation, and I did not practise. Oh well. I have a chemistry exam on Friday too, don't I? Well, I guess I have one whole afternoon to revise for chemistry!
This is going to go down well.
