Rice Baths are Fake News

Apparently, putting your phone in rice doesn’t really fix things.

Shaking excess water off and putting the phone in a well ventilated area is what is actually recommended.

Yesterday, my Pixel Fold fell into a dog bowl, and I’m using it as an excuse to go back to my TCL Flip 2. The Pixel Fold is a great phone, but I think my life will be more full without it.

I booted it up and swapped my SIM card into it. It reminded me how much I enjoyed having this little phone on me for those months last year.

I am curious if this becomes my new normal.
