[@Sponge973]

​@@PhulerakaSachiv I think because a lot of alpha gen kids have overused it to the point that now some people consider it cringe

[@kurtlorenzalindog1940]

SO THAT'S WHY PHONES START FREAKING OUT WHEN THEY TOUCH WATER

[@70o07]

Because water is conductive as well. At less with enough of it spread out on your scream.

[@Octopus2480]

Yeah, water carries electricity really well.

[@sandpaperunderthetable6708]

Erm acktually, its the minerals in the water that conduct electricity, hence distilled water do not conduct electricity ☝️🤓

[@Sponge973]

​@@sandpaperunderthetable6708 Yes it's true

[@Sponge973]

It depends whether the water is distilled or not,
If it's distilled I wouldn't be concerned about electricity but rather abt the water seeping into the ports

This is actually super interesting because my dad has a degenerative nerve disease, and his touch oftentimes doesn't register on screens because his nerves have died off. Thanks for teaching me something

"Shatter proof protective glass"
IPhones falling 5mm:
Edit: IT'S JUST A JOKE GEEZ

[@lordbob-up9wd]

The last protective glass layer I had on my phone literally broke pieces off after falling like 10cm

[@GrillGrilling]

@@lordbob-up9wd lmao, it happened the same to mine, and I have a Samsung
(And btw I'm not saying iphones are bad, it's just really most of the time, the protective layer from iphones breaks more easily)

[@AndrewArchvadze]

idk Ive dropped my iPhone 14 many times screen first in my driveway and on conceere and its never shattered 😭

[@VerticM]

ive dropped mine over 50 times and its good

[@lucasmeyer7672]

Y’all do know shatter proof means it doesn’t break into tiny bits right

[@Syntax.error.]

You can use anything that is conductive like a spoon. Just make sure the contact area is large enough.

[@bakbakhindiofficial3521]

I Lick off the head of a wooden pencil with some saliva and it also worked edit :even tho I didnt lick it 💀 but I took that in my mouth and made contact with my tooths
edit² :This is a short coment cuz fbi had taken me to area 51

[@Talking__Ben]

The actual LCD does not light anything up. That is done by the backlight behind it. The LCD is like a filter; it blocks certain wavelengths of light to a certain degree. However, most phones now use OLED displays, or Organic LED display. In an OLED display, each pixel is individually lit, making OLED displays have darker blacks and brighter whites.

[@ILSN1996]

Amoled is the upgraded version of LED I guess

[@show013speedy]

Thank you was going to say liquid crystal displays are not oleds which are commonly used in even budget phones nowadays

[@bby256]

LCD is all the screen packed. The filter is the liquid crystal.

[@dbpt210]

I always wanted to know how touch screens actually work, but i never really got myself to search for it.
Well, now I know and you know a video is good when you physically go "whoa!".
Gosh I love these videos.

[@aronbucca6777]

The problem is that this is so oversimplified that it is wrong in some aspects. Modern touchscreens use the the physical principle of the variation of capacity of capacitors on the screen when touched by a conductor.

[@jacktellner646]

@aronbucca6777 And that’s the reason why it was “oversimplified”. Can you rephrase that as if English wasn’t my first language?

[@aronbucca6777]
