      hi someone who isn’t necessarily me might’ve left her laptop out in the rain and thus finally got a chance to use the pile of desiccants she had been hoarding for years along with putting the laptop in a room with a dehumidifier running for many days today laptop turned on ama 😬pic.twitter.com/URuKsSXgM5

      I use those for my hearing aids, and they work well with tiny electronics. Did it work well with your laptop too?

      By the way, that someone who isn’t necessarily me had left her laptop on and open in the soaking rain. Face up.

          But can you patent the sun? *ducks* But you can bet I have been waiting for at least a year, patiently hoarding that pile. I mean at least I know myself. Or whoever the culprit was.

          I woke up to my laptop sitting in a rain puddle on the floor once, I put it in a ziplock bag with 10 pounds of uncooked rice. After 2 days it turned on and worked fine, but you could hear the rice inside when you shook it ever after.

          Apparently the bags can be reused. In case someone forgets again ;-) https://www.instructables.com/id/Reusing-Dessicant-Packs/ …

          This works when you forget to take your phone out of your back pocket and it falls in the toilet, too, if you react very quickly.
