Oh god yes, please come tell me. Show me what you did, shit, show me what kind of rice you used, show me everything about the process so that I may learn from it, but until I see hard evidence, especially that which cannot be easily attributed to something that isn’t stupid, that something is actually fucking happening, chortle my balls!
The point is the bias is obviously going to be that you’d see the instances where it didn’t work, otherwise they wouldn’t have gone into the shop.
Yeah yeah, I know, survivorship bias and all that, but the rice still does fuck all
Have used rice multiple times from old Nokia phones to newer iPhones, it does work and have helped multiple people. Idk what you’re imagining but you don’t shove the phone into rice and repeatedly shake it. Small Tupperware with a lid, small bed of rice on bottom, set the phone on top and allow to sit in the sun. The warmth turns the moisture into humidity in which the rice will absorb. The phone never even needs to be in contact with the rice with the right setup (same as the desiccant bags method). It’s just about getting the excess moisture absorbed, you can even inspect the phone and clean it up before use.
