      With enough height, any drop would do. 😎 Follow me for more shitty advice.

        That begs the question of whether the terminal velocity of a phone is enough to eject the battery.

        Unless the height you’re dropping it from is on Jupiter

          I’m pretty sure it is, an arms height drop on the right angle can break open most smartphones, statistically speaking we need a bigger height to increase our chances.

            So most modern smartphones do use adhesive strips to attach the battery to the midframe and its pretty strong… Which is why I always advise heating your device to 70c BEFORE lobbing it off the roof to help with battery removal!

              May as well sign up for some Vim users groups, then.

          I tried typing velocity in the terminal and got a velocity command not found.

          I guess the command crew is out on vacation, so no terminal velocity 🤔

    There should be a hardware reset pin hole somewhere near the place where PIN/SD cards are placed. It was designed specifically for VIM users. Hold it with a narrow object.

    EDIT: typo

      I’m stealing this forever. Thank you.

      I solemnly swear to explain “it’s for Vim users” every time I speak of those little pin reset buttons in the future.

    Too late. You’ll need a new phone.

      I’ve learned a few new commands now. :e dials an existing contact, and :w saves contact information.

      :q! is super useful for hanging up on robo-callers

      I think this thing could work… I dub it the vimphone!

      I sense that the creature Golum may yet have some part to play before the end of this journey.

      In my experience, computers and other devices that have been properly repaired with a sledgehammer never break again.

    On some devices you can hold the back key to kill the foreground app.

    Pull the power cord? Let the battery run out?
