Not There!

[Annichka]

Why is it that when customers do stupid things they blame it on us? like when they drop their phones in the toilet/lake/puddle.. they decide to stick it in the oven or Microwave... IT'S MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND METAL! DON'T STICK IT IN THE MICROWAVE OR OVEN! woman wanted us to pay her for the microwave she ruined by sticking it in there. I had to show her that it was in the user agreement not to stick it in the microwave! seriously if no tinfoil... why an electronic device?

She was probably trying to dry it out after having dropped it in the toilet or a puddle :P

I'm depressed that it's happened often enough to be in the user agreement.

Me too but now I'm curious to find out what else in there.

You should see some of the fine print. Our insurance carrier actually has a clause in it for a nuclear detonation.

If a nuclear detonation destroys the device, then it is not covered, but if it is damaged by the end-resulting fire, then it is.

Acts of war, terrorism, civil uprising, or other war-like causes of damage are also not covered.

Rumor had it that our carrier refused to cover people who lost their phones during 9-11. Luckily, corp was proactive and sent us a few cases of older model phones to reactively *give* customers who say they lost their phones in the attacks (we gave out about 50 chargers, too).

Why would you put anything that was in your toilet in to your microwave where you prep your food?

If she was stupid enough to put a phone in the microwave in the first place (plastic gives off NASTY chemicals when it's burned), she probably wasn't bright enough to think of that either...

It was bad enough when they had to move the "Don't use in the bathtub" warning on hairdryers from the box paraphernalia to the cord itself, but now you CAN NOT remove the label..... I really want to meet the lawyer (for admiration) or jury (for pity) that was involved in the case based on - "Yes, I saw the Do Not Use In Tub label but I ripped it off and then forgot.........

How about the warning to not use it while sleeping? What happened that made them include that warning!

[Pezzle]

You think the nuclear clause is depressing?

How about the famous "Do not stop chainsaw with genitals" warning. That's like saying "please breed and make more stupid people."

[Pixagi]

So, really, in a perfect Darwinist society, it would say "Please stop chain with gentiles." and "For best results, please use [electrical device] in shower/underwater."

Husky Computers

On the other hand. Husky Computers makes a military grade portable machine that will work at 15,000 feet where the air is thin and not a good cooling medium. And also up to 100 feet under water. They also boast you can drive over it with a tank and it will still work.

However, the warranty says, 'May not work in the presence of nuclear events.', does no-one make a machine that just works always?

Having worked with cell phones, I've been told that if you put the cell in the oven on a low heat setting, it will dry out the phone. This only tends to work if you dropped the phone and immediately retrieved it, so it did not "soak" in the water, and we are very much not allowed to recommend it. But I've heard on multiple accounts that it works.

However, on high heat, or especially in the microwave just seems like an incredibly idiotic thing to do, on so many levels.

If you're in the presence of an nuclear event, I think you've got bigger worries than if your computer is working or not.
