My dad basically gave me this scenario once.
Dad: My phone's been kind of puffy recently, the back's all blown out. Probably all the coolant at work corroding it. Still works alright though.
Me: Dad, that means the battery is super volatile and it could explode into flames at any moment. Get rid of it immediately.
Dad, rolling eyes: Well aren't you just a little ray of sunshine?
I got him to replace the phone.
Nah, that picture was made for SCP-1875, ChatGPT didn't make it. This is just a meme.
Longing for some kind of terrible impossible ultra-mod that combines all FromSoft swamps into one nightmarish überswamp challenge
Whenever I cross the road with somebody (who is old enough to know better) I always tell them that if you don't do the little wave when your cross the street then the car is legally allowed to run you over
Still have my Pocket CHIP. I look at it sometimes and sigh, thinking about what could have been.
There are a couple resources around to bring it up to something approaching working on the internet, but not much, and not complete, last I checked.
Thing was great for playing terminal roguelikes, though.
I have a Mobile Pixels one, it's certainly been a big help. Power and picture from the same USB-C cable. It was kind of hard to install (have to adhesive on some magnets correctly, glue wasn't too great, I recently replaced them with some other adhesives I bought online, worked good so far).
For the most part it doesn't give me any issues, does what I want of it, but if I have one complaint it's that when I'm playing a game that uses my laptop's graphics card, I will usually have to unplug and replug the screen back in because it begins fizzling out like it's losing power or signal. Functions fine after though. It's slightly annoying but not that big a deal.
Overall I don't regret my purchase, I just wish it was a bit more polished with an easier and more reliable mounting process and not fizzling out when I play intense games.
