Mobile in private
It could happen to anyone down the phone in private. Remove the battery immediately, to prevent electrical short circuits fry the fragile internal components of your machine. Then gently wipe the phone with a towel and bury it in a pot full of raw rice.
This works the same way that you put a few grains of rice in your saltshaker to keep the salt dry. The rice has a high chemical affinity with water - this means that the molecules of rice have almost magnetic attraction for water molecules, which are sucked by the rice rather than continue in your phone.
This is a low-tech version of the desiccant packages that sometimes come in the box the phone itself, to keep moisture away from the circuit during transmission and storage.
Wider Wi-Fi
If your Wi-Fi router does not reach the other side of the house, do not quit running to buy more wireless devices to stretch your network. Instead, build a reflector of radio waves passive, 15 cm high using items from the kitchen, like a sheet of aluminum foil.
Follow the instructions in freeantennas.com / projects / template. Place the finished reflector - a small, curved piece of metal that reflects radio waves and a satellite dish - behind your WiFi router The reflector focuses the energy of the router in one direction - directly to the other end of the box -, rather than letting it dissipate their strength in a complete circle. No cables, no batteries, no technical knowledge. But you can easily double the reach of your network.
Dirty discs
You need to clean a CD or DVD unclean, but is unmarried and has no fluid cleaning of those mom? Soak a cloth with vodka or antiseptic mouth.
Alcohol is a powerful solvent, well able to dissolve fingerprints and stains from the surface of a disc. A bottle of Listerine of $ 10 in your armarinho the bathroom can make the service as well as a bottle of $ 75, DVD-cleaning fluid. Also, rub your copy of "Rambo" with vodka, instead of cleaning it with a fluidozinho, is much more manly.
Flash too
If the embedded flash of the camera in your phone is too bright and washed leaves the photos, attach a small piece of paper over the flash. Experiment with different colors and thicknesses of paper to reduce the tone of the flash of lighting superbrilhante a more enjoyable evening for photos.
Failed disk
If - or when, in fact - the hard drive of your PC crashing and can not be read, not so quick to play it out. Leave it in the freezer overnight.
"The trick is a technique for recovering real and proven, even as a last resort, for some types of disk problems that would otherwise be fatal," writes Fred Langa in his Windows Secrets site.
Many hard drive failures are caused by worn parts that do not align more correctly, making the disc can not read the data. Lowering the temperature of the disc means that its internal components, metal and plastic is slightly contract. Remove the disc from the freezer and return it to normal temperature can make these parts will be expanding again.
This can help relieve pieces glued, says Langa, or at least leave with an electrical component failure within the specifications long enough for you to recover your data.
This is the spirit of folk remedies: they may or may not work, but we have to lose?
