This announcement is performative. Probably just a "good" reason to back out of something they didn't want to do anymore, anyway. Otherwise there's paper on the deal and they wouldn't back out.

Sealed Illy coffee can for storage and excellent for drying out a phone with a moisture alert on the charging connection. You are probably correct about stuff that is thoroughly soaked but that's not what I use it for as that scenario doesn't seem to arise for me. I did once use this system to dry out my wife's phone that was not working after our toddler dropped it into a bucket or something and it was fine for a couple years after but I'm guessing gaskets prevented any moisture from getting too far since we pulled it out immediately.
For years, I've saved every silica packet in a coffee can. I stopped a while ago since I have a liter of them and the can is full.
Works great for drying things out.
I realize this is the advice in the article but wanted to point out that they build up quickly and come in just about everything that isn't food these days.
I think it's also very acceptable to have full time contractors on the payroll with no end date for the same reason.
He lost me so I'm all in.
Still waiting to hear how blockchain factors in
You are correct and it drives people crazy. Just consider, though, that people were saying that the web allowing anyone to publish their views as fact would undermine the averages person's ability to know what is true. It kind of did.
I don't have a hot take. I agree with you. But I also think this will change things in ways we don't fully understand yet.
"we can hide your leak for a modest subscription fee", probably
Well many have paid subscriptions. I would love to see a total migration to "free with ads" and "micro payments for no ads". The site would show you your balance owing as you used it. That way you could register to pay but not be getting dinged every month for say a hiking site you only used half the year.
Do you have paid subscriptions to web sites you like?
How does that make you feel? /s
I would have accepted a Garfield phone.
