Hey Mehanik, have you heard about that new autonomous repair drone that claims to fix phones in under a minute? I’ve been reading the specs, and it’s got a full AI diagnostic suite, but I’m skeptical about the safety protocols—what happens if the drone misreads a fault and screws everything up? I’d love to hear your take on whether a robot should be trusted to patch a cracked screen or if that’s just another case of “fix the problem” turned into a “fix the drone.”

I’ve watched a few of those drones try to glue a screen to a body that’s already cracked – they’re as good at picking up a coffee mug as they are at diagnostics. If the AI misreads a fault, you end up with a half-screwed bezel and a battery that thinks it’s a new kind of paint. Trust a robot with a glass? Sure, if you’re willing to pay for a spare frame, a second AI, and a full warranty that covers emotional distress for the phone. For me, a good screwdriver, a steady hand, and a bit of stubbornness still beat a self‑repairing drone every time.
