Hi.

I’m just a German plushie-loving freak who is awkwardly excited over woodwinds and tech stuff. Also likes chess… but only against my dear Stockfish.

Have a lovely day. :P

  • I think as long about it as it requires me to on my bed and then do something else. Then I might tell someone/some people about it.

    Rarely, when I absolutely had no idea wtf was happening, I made up a thesis and then looked up online what others think. Last time I had that was with Peter Handke’s Mein Tag im anderen Land 1. I was apparently right there with my thesis… but… still really didn’t know WHY. :D

    Mostly though I shove reading sessions into the day like taking out my phone, except if the book is REALLY exceptional (Schachnovelle 2, Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui 3 or Traumnovelle 4).

  • It’s not just Apple. Almost all manufacturers offer water resistant flagship phones (and mid-rangers). ASUS, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, Sony, Samsung, Vivo, Honor…

    However, the phones are NOT water-proof. From none of these (neither Apple). They are water-resistant, which is a big difference and they are just required to not be damaged if submerged underwater for 30 minutes, 1.5m, if they want IP68.

    Phones and smartwatches are not resistant to condensation or water getting in – water can still get in, as they’re NOT impervious (smartwatches if they have speakers), which is actually required for calling your device truly “water proof”. Water resistant is literally two steps below that.

    There has been some marketing claiming water proof devices. This was just wrong.
