I’ve cleaned/sanitized and let it dry and everything. The audio seems fine and I’m playing that audio track that dislodges the water with sound.
Anything else I should do? Rice etc?
Put it in rice overnight. It will attract asian people who will fix it right up.
For real though, don’t put it in rice. Small rice particles can get stuck in your device and cause damage.
I laughed and immediately felt bad about laughing.
But you’re right about rice. A better solution is to use a silica packet. A good argument for keeping some handy instead of throwing them out.
I knew those coulda been good for something lol. Its a while until I need new shoes tho
- Don’t do it again
Regret wasting all that money on something thats loss was inevitable, then go find a $10 pair of wired ear buds.
Haven’t lost either pair of the gen 1 or gen 3 I own. Accidents happen, let people enjoy the things they want when it doesn’t affect you in any way.
People can live their lives how they choose, friend. It’s not for you or I or anyone to dictate to them what to do and feel.
I would also suggest you get a Shokz next time
don’t listen to the people telling you to put it in rice. putting it in front of a fan will have a much better drying effect. ancient people didn’t preserve stuff by putting it in rice
You’re right. Not even a grain of rice anywhere near Tutankhamun, or the AirPods he was wearing.
The best artists/empires steal
Rice wouldn’t hurt. Draw any moisture out.
If you have any silica packs, these work better.
These are a terrific inexpensive item to keep on hand in general. I bought some food grade packets off of Amazon and I use them in many of my kitchen dry goods and homemade spices.
Apple themselves have said putting it in rice can actually damage the hardware. Don’t do it.
Aren’t newer versions of the device waterproof? Though, you may be using a version that didn’t have that feature yet.
