    I have a friend who dropped his phone into a porta potty at a festival and then fished it out. Apparently he was drunk enough that he forgot about doing it and woke up in the morning wondering why his phone stank.

    There is no point to this story

      A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever.

      Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there’s a huge flower line there. He waits forever but eventually gets the flowers.

      Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there’s a large limo line at the rental office, but he’s patient and gets the job done.

      Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her some punch, so he heads over to the punch table and there’s no punchline.

      On the old iPhones if you got lucky you could cut the power on it, pull the logic board out, and we’d stick it in an old jewelry vibrator filled with 99% rubbing alcohol. Hit it with a heat gun right away to disperse any liquid. Once dry id hook it up to a cheap screen and battery I knew was good before sticking it back in the phone, if that came on. Then work your way backwards replacing anything that needed to be replaced out of the other parts, or hook up to a docking cable to a computer to back up to iTunes, so they could get their data. Slowly apple forced everyone into iCloud backups, so the need dropped more and more for such though.

        They also interconnected screens, facial cameras, color adjustments and all the other bullshit that’s making fixing these more and more annoying and expensive.
