Don't forget to top up the optical fluid in your phone's camera. I know you're as tired as I am of seeing photos with the top half all blurry. Yes, there are apps that will automatically crop them to account for low fluid levels, but why go to that trouble when refilling the fluid takes seconds and costs less than an energy cube?

@terrana Is this a joke post or am I having an existential crisis

@socks @terrana this is a joke, you only need optical fluids in microscopes

@Felthry @socks That was true 15 years ago, but the compact optics of smartphones really do need optical fluid to work properly. I know there's the Apple-led trend of making them sealed units that's been growing over the last few years, but we're already starting to see how well /that/ works long-term.

@terrana @socks Huh! we've never really looked into those tiny optics very much honestly, not surprised
