I will admit, this makes sense, up to a point. I have 2 pixel 4a’s just sitting in a drawer because the screens got damaged, showing just a black screen. And it was the same price or cheaper to buy another used phone than buy just the screen for it, $120+ in most cases on eBay, when i was looking. So I bought another, newer phone instead of fixing the device, for around the same price.
People don’t try cleaning their charging port before buying a new device? Thats crazy. I really have a hard time believing people don’t try cleaning before buying a new device.
It might still be salvageable, if you can find lodgings and arrangments in the general area for the correct week (obviously with the event going on, you might not be able to find prime locations anymore) and then ask the airbnb you accidentally booked if you can get a refund, explaining what happened and how stupid you feel. It depends on if the airbnb is operated by the owner, or a business. If its the owner they might let you off the hook, understanding how much of a devastating fuck-up it is.
Lol this one is truly unbelievable to me. Its glass! Soak it in soapy water, vinegar or bleach, for gods sake…
