So in TF2, there is a feature where you can put a spray on a wall kind of like a graffiti. The thing is, you can spray ANY image you want.

Oh and also you can put it on a sign and beat the shit out of people with it if you want.

So I have a story for you. I own a fairphone 3+ for a little more than 5 years now.

Recently, while doing the dishes, my phone accidentally slipped in the sink. I protected it with a phone case and a screen protection, but still, panic ensued.

I removed the battery as fast as possible, dried it up as best as I could, restarted it, and it worked just fine.

Well, most of it at least. The jack port took some damage but ended up fixing itself (???) and the usb- charge port refused to charge the phone unless it was tilted a specific way.

Doesn't matter, I ordered a new usb-c module for less than 30€, and replaced it (i'm not really good hardware-wise, but fortunately, it was pretty easy). Now it works like a charm.

I feel like an event like this would have been a death sentence for most other phones, and even if it wasn't, my clumsy ass keeps dropping my phone, so it might have been even sooner.

So far, this phone just refuses to die. It might be slightly outdated and buggy at times (apparently it got better in the last iterations), but it is still very much usable with no critical failure yet.

So, setting up an entire server might be overkill for the amount of data I truly want to never lose (passwords, some pictures, some important documents, maybe some music if there is space left) , but asking a relative i see every once in a while to just keep a drive or even a USB stick in a desk somewhere is probably the easiest and reliable option.

Thanks for the suggestion !

Do you have it in a better resolution ? This might be a dope wallpaper

Right now i'm on mint, but when this issue happened, i was on fedora 42.

But if bluetoothctl does not work either, maybe it's another issue that i had (maybe the drivers or something)
