IIRC “3D Printed” houses are falling apart due to lamination issues. That said, I think it's a solvable problem, though it will take awhile to sort out the issues. Modular systems also show a lot of promise for mass production, potentially even of higher quality, and likely amenable to robotic assembly if carefully designed for it, but we know it'll just be a profit seeking race to the bottom. Those construction jobs are safe for at least a decade, likely more.

Read it all, no, won't live long enough. Grep (or full index) it all to find something obscure, priceless.
Sure, glue sucks, but I didn't need a heat gun (or hair dryer), just the microwave heated tube thingy and the slicer tab. Admittedly the old battery was a bit spicy pillow which may have helped, dunno. If it's too imposing, just get a pro to do it.
Afterwards I got a 'chargie' which connects between the wall charger and the phone and lets you choose how much to charge it to, e.g. 80%. More importantly it lets you cut off charging when the device is over a certain temperature, e.g. 33C. Pretty sure the old battery cooked itself during summer, it was happily charging at 50+C, which is definitely not good. 2 years later and it still reports 99% health (although it mostly stays in it's wireless charging dock, so YMMV). Like that you may not need to replace the battery more than once during the 7 years of security updates the more modern Pixels have.
The threat is also from empowering shitheels like VW who deliberately detect gOS and break their apps.
Can’t get a GrapheneOS phone because they’re only compatible with non-repairable devices
Replaced the battery in my Pixel 7 in like 30 min with an iFixit kit, nowhere near as imposing as I'd thought. They have screens too, the rest is mainboard, but that's nearly all phones.
Plausible deniability in a can. Same shit, different day.
