Mostly navigation and handsfree phonecalls

Apparently not… Is it somehow still widely used. It’s the most likely paper to give you paper cuts though https://physicsworld.com/a/researchers-cut-to-the-chase-on-the-physics-of-paper-cuts/

That’s a very valid point

True. Didn’t think of it that way

347 apparently, across 7 years of operation

I think messing up on NASA projects will hurt a company way more. Of course aviation is supposed to be safe, but even the 737 Max has flown thousands of hours. Comparing how many people that have flown on them, versus how many that have been hurt/killed, is still a small number, which is still is supposed to be zero of course.

Traversing space, a pinnacle of engineering, is quite another level of danger, and if you insist on your product being functional and safe, and then kills two astronauts, would cause a whole different level of backlash

In this particular situation, if Boeing says it’s safe, I would be inclined to trust them, because if they make the return happen, and it fails, Boeing is done fore. As a crew member though, I would pass for sure and wait for a Dragon

My remote is also starting to die. First ‘down’ went, and now ‘home’ is gone too. Luckily passthrough from my tv remote works fine, so now I’m just using that
