minus-squarebrb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 month agoYes. I use my phone in rain/snow and boats all the time plus it’s nice to be able to use it in sauna also
minus-squareLumisal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoI feel like that defeats the purpose of sauna a bit… But anyway, I thought heat rating was a different metric entirely?
minus-squarePerspectivist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 month agoSauna is a place where you either chat with other people or sit with your thoughts. It’s blasphemy to bring your phone in there.
minus-squarebrb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoNah it’s only an occasional thing when we also bring some bluetooth speakers there. I keep the phone on the lower levels so it doesn’t get too hot
