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!

Unfortunately my phone is rated to withstand such a fall...

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.

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.

Added context.

ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in)

: tells vim you are entering a command

q is the command for quit

! tells vim for force quit (without saving)

Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.

Where do you think I am posting this from?

You are correct. I can exit at any time but I choose to stay because it is nice here.

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

::: spoiler spoiler You might also try Typing :q :::

Try it to find out!

  • Install Termux from F-Droid
  • Open Termux, and run pkg install gvim. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
  • Launch vim
  • You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave....

Only gvim is available in pkg, not vim. I had the same surprise when I didn't see vim.

Yeah, why not? It's just a terminal running vim.

Type: nano

You could use Hackers KB which has the Ctrl keys, Esc, etc.

If you turn off the Accessibility button on the bottom right, you can switch between keyboards easily too.

You reached the end

I want to exit, help! | Spyke
