That is genius, I wish I was that smart.

I was on Linux mint XFCE at that time and even though it had a setting to decide what to do when power button is pressed but it was broken and would reset itself every few hours.

I had to disconnect power button from mobo because my room mate’s cat would just shut it off, luckily I had a case whose side panel was very easy to open with a hinge, so I tied two cables near the latch and to turn it in, I’d turn the latch open the case, quickly short the cables and close the panel and latch.

Thanks for reminding me of that. Also I swear that cat knew what I did and kept trying to open the latch for a few months before giving up.

Must be nice knowing you don’t overthink.

Good camera was just a byproduct if better post processing on Google. It was true maybe 5-6 years ago that pixels had too of the line camera. But these days, even Motorola can manage a comparable camera to pixel.

Bro you need to understand how relative humidity works. Evaporation is dependent on both air circulation and humidity gradiant. Now out of the two humidity gradiant is by quite a strong factor to the point where you can have very high air circulation of 100% relative humidity and you would see very little evaporation. Compare that a 20% relative humidity and no air circulation and you will see much more evaporation until relative humidity reaches 100%.

So what a dessicant does is take the relative humidity down by quite a lot in a sealed container and that forces evaporation quite a bit, and it will continue to dry the phone until relative humidity reaches 100% which will only happen once rice/desiccant has absorbed all the water it possible can at the given temperature and pressure.

Again untrue whatever you think is “whole” water, any dessicant will absolutely undoubtedly help with evaporation.

Not every person is tech savvy enough to open boards. Advice for most novices is still put phone between dessicant to get water out of the device is valid and good advice.

Would using isopropyl alcohol be better option? Sure it is. but telling my aunt to do it, and device will probably die because she doesn’t know how to handle pcbs anyway. I’d much rather just advice using dessicant and hope mineral residue doesn’t sort anything. And I’ll continue with that advice forever.

Yeah fitgirl would never release official android app or any platform for that matter.

That overhauled UI is buggy as shit, slow to do anything and is objectively worse as features that were already present were removed.

Feature removal might e been excused if the UI was simplified and fast and responsive. But slow and buggy UI to replace relatively well functioning UI angered almost all users. I’m had to force install an old version of plex client exactly to avoid the non-sense.

Oh the t9 era of texting, I miss d tym wen t9 ws d nly optn

What near future? Redmagic 10 pro has a very decent underscren camera that you can buy now. Only reason stupid holes in screen exist now is that mainstream phone makers are still assuming all of their customers absolutely care about taking the best selfies all the time.

I’d nominate Antimine to be added as a minesweeper clone that is FOSS and has beautiful UI. https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.lucanlm.antimine/

Both sides are saving face, India lost some fighters more than one for sure. But no clarity, pakistan claims they downed five, BBC independently verified one, some US officials said two planes were shot down. However it’s unclear if they were downed by Chinese made fighters or not, maybe they were. India confirmed that “losses are part of defense action”. Couple other experts pointed it looked like crash due to air-to-air missiles (but experts are all anoynums and from western countries). The problem is there was so much disinformation in Indian media, Pakistani media and Chinese media around that time. It’s next to impossible to say how the Rafale was downed, but at least downed Rafale is confirmed.

I think new tab page, but I’ve never seen it written as ntp

Only connection I have to maupiti is my monthly noni shipment used to be from maupiti.

I think Singapore handles it well, any residential property can only be rented for minimum of six months, less than six months and it must be registered a commercial property and be in a zone that allows commercial activity.

It doesn’t ban AirBnB specifically, but it solves this problem.

What do you mean, I have a nick, fake email, fake name and I’m enjoying my free games for years.

Ok, so I checked a superstore near me, and my updated understanding is

1. anything disinfecting is alcohol based be it for skin or for for objects,
2. things designed for cleaning skin or to be “refreshing/fragrant” are mostly water based.
3. However there are skin cleaning products that are marketed more towards deep clean or dirt/oil/grease etc are almost always alcohol based.
4. cleaning objects intended wet wipes also mostly alcohol based. But if marketed as “gentle” could be water based.

So baby wipes being meant to clean skin and be “gentle”, it makes sense that they are water based.

Maybe my understanding is wrong, and I don’t use wet wipes that often, but the ones I have I bought like a year ago 60% ethanol v/v.

I understand it’s “wet” from some alcohol/aldehydes and not from water.
