Putting the device in a hygroscopic area is what matters. Sometime a dry, ventilated area is enough, but putting it in rice or some chemical product ( the stuff you find in packaging ) Also woodshavings can be used, as long as the surrounding temperature is high ( and preferably dry ) enough

The choice for rice is mostly made because of availbility en cheap price. And the tiny Chinese men who com to repair the device like to eat the rice better then woodshavings.

Thank you for bringing up this topic. I agree that it's important to share accurate information on how to save a wet device.

While your suggestion of using a dry area with sufficient airflow is helpful, it would be great if you could provide some reasoning or evidence behind why putting a wet device in rice is not effective. Simply saying 'trust me bro' isn't helpful for those seeking reliable solutions.

Perhaps sharing personal experiences or linking to trustworthy sources could support your argument and help people make informed decisions. Thank you for your contribution to this discussion!

Edit: yes I used ChatGPT
