Stop bringing your phone in the shower: How steam can ruin 'waterproof' phones

Who… da fuq… does this??

<raises hand>

I listen to The Daily podcast or audiobooks. The phone goes into a little 3D printed holder to keep it dry and redirect the sound. I’ve done this for years with multiple phones, never any issues.

Even though modern iPhones are “waterproof” I like to keep it as dry as possible. The touchscreen stops working reliably if it gets wet, and the speakers can get blocked by water droplets and reduces the volume.

It’s also worth noting that living in the PNW requires using the bathroom fan to keep the moisture down. The bathroom never gets that steamy, which I’m sure drastically changes the moisture exposure equation.

Same. Geez Lemmy really gets up on a pedestal about this.

I hate hearing my own thoughts and everything’s depressing right now. Listening to music instead of my own thoughts is considered a plus.

if you can’t be alone with your own thoughts you need therapy. not an insult. if you can’t stand what kind of person you are to the point that your thoughts are toxic, talk to someone. seriously.
