@davidgerard@circumstances.run @witix@mk.absturztau.be although I believe if you get your phone wet with water like that (e.g. saltwater or in this case pool water which is likely chlorinated) youre supposed to rinse it with fresh water

or at least thats the case for sure with my watch

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net @davidgerard@circumstances.run yeah I'm not believing that until I see the ports are somehow blocked, there's no miraculous tech to stop shortcircuiting

Also my laptop has a military certification that says it's shock-resistant (MIL-STD-810) but that doesn't mean I'd throw it on the ground on purpose

@witix@mk.absturztau.be @davidgerard@circumstances.run I have submerged phones in water before, it's fine (although i wouldnt trust it fully if its ever been opened e.g. for screen replacement)

also a) the port doesnt have power unless you plug it in, 2) the phone can detect moisture in the charge port and notify the user (and scream loudly if you plug it in), and iii) It must be able to prevent power flowing somehow because my phone will refuse to charge if it detects moisture

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net @davidgerard@circumstances.run even then, just because something is theoretically x-proof doesn't mean you should do x to it
