Dropping Throwing my iPhone Pro and then running over it. Sadly it did not live long or prospered. The last post has sounded.

 

 

Can't say I blame you. iPhones infuriate me too.

Google search for a simple how-to solution and getting a whole lot of long-winded, subscription-begging videos when I only want a few lines of instructions. 

 

(I know, -site:youtube.com would help but you still get sponsored suggestions and it's a drag) 

 

(I know, use a different search engine)

That's just stupidly dilute hydrogen peroxide, you can make it yourself from 3% stuff which is about $10/L, which will last you a lifetime at the tiny amounts used in Vanish.

Yes, but you have to be careful of the teeth.

Hydrogen peroxide has a poor shelf life, unfortunately. You can get 60% for less than $10 per liter, although it's probably quite hazardous at that concentration.

Ugh, I wouldn't keep 60% peroxide in the house... for anyone wanting a better (safer, longer lasting) alternative, get sodium percarbonate a.k.a. oxygen bleach a.k.a. a million trade names all of which have some form of "oxy" in them. It's $10-15/kg and that will last a lifetime.

 

 

Edited to add: Peroxide at that concentration is OK if handled correctly, but most people won't be familiar with just how much you need to dilute it to get it down to a safe level, and what can happen if you were to apply it undiluted to something like cotton.

 

 

Edited a second time: Possibly more for the W/T/F thread, that most of the YT videos for H2O2 use seem to be about removing blood stains. @Technofreak, what were you needing this stuff for again?

It’s annoying that after I read the previous 2 posts, I can’t get Its Not Unusual by Tom Jones out of my head.

I understand, my iPhone was nearly converted into a frisbee a few times. This time however it met its untimely demise after an encounter with the wheels of my mobility scooter and the sharp concrete ridge in the garage door. I should have done something with that dopey ridge when I was capable.

 

Oh its just a phone life goes on. Its the first phone I have ever destroyed.  Now waiting for my new phone to arrive, luck would have it I have a spare phone. 





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Supposed “experts” who can’t even take the time to be marginally informed on the topics they are speaking about.

I’m looking at all of you on the Breakdown. Just hopeless.
