Keep it under running water for ½ an hour, at the level that is the most comfortable.
Don't make it too cold, but cold enough to ease the burning sensation.

If the pain stops before ½ an hour, you can stop.

That's a weird editorializing of the headline, for an article that describes wide spread use, and a market of rapidly growing value.

For instance a sentence like these:

This is no longer experimentation; it’s habit formation at an unprecedented scale.

This rapid adoption drives real dollars: In the two and a half years since OpenAI’s ChatGPT introduced the public to generative AI, consumer AI has become a multibillion-dollar market.

One of the most surprising findings? Parents are among the most engaged AI users, turning to AI for everyday help.

Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers

Considering there's a pretty strong free option, 5% is not bad.
How many pay for using Youtube? IDK but my guess is that it is way less than 5%.
How many pay for using search? My bet is that we are in the thousandth on that. Yet search is profitable!

I wrote near 1000 km. But above 800 km mixed, and above 950 in good conditions, on a charge on currently available production cars, is pretty close IMO.

https://ev-database.org/car/2193/Mercedes-Benz-EQS-450plus
WLTP 825
City - Mild Weather 955 km

https://ev-database.org/car/1696/Lucid-Air-Dream-Edition-R
WLTP 828 km
City - Mild Weather 960 km

This is how I sorted:

I did not count concept cars, because I know there has been some pretty crazy concept cars made, that will NEVER be possible to buy.

So the EQXX should do about six miles per kWh. Which isn't far off double the efficiency of your normal EV this size and performance.

That double efficiency comes at extreme cost of materials the car is built with, and probably also lacking equipment that is normally present.
But goddammit I hate when English speaking press only state miles numbers that are probably rounded, without stating the actual metric number it was tested on!

OP wanted cheaper phones, but phones ARE getting cheaper with better features too.

Mercedes and a Lucid have production cars with near 1000 km range.

Well it's not ALL progress, personally I'd like the notification LED and the mini jack back.
But overall, I think modern smartphones are amazing.

That would be things like not being able to replace the battery.
Fortunately EU is regulating that shit now.

Because the development of new Smartphone SOC has been very strong, and the new ones really are better in multiple ways. The gains are far from minimal. There are also huge improvements in display, camera and modem technology. For the processing power the improvements are especially big when you look at PPW figures.

Regarding cheap phones, you can get very feature rich very usable smartphones dirt cheap now, that are both way better and way cheaper than just a few years ago. It used to be that cheap phones lacked features like GPS and NFS, even motion sensors could be limited, and they certainly didn't have bluetooth. Now all that is generally included even in cheap phones, and they have good screens too, even a modest IPS screen which is dirt cheap can be pretty good nowadays. So the progress is for all.

My wife just bought a phone that was cheaper than her old phone, but still it's is way better.

The reason they all make better phones is due to this thing we call competition. If all brands except one stopped making better phones, the one that continues making them better will take marketshare from everybody else, and have by far the best profits, because the highest profits are with the best phones.

PS: Something that is also new in "standard" phones is that they have way better water protection. It used to be you would have to buy an ugly bulky phone to have that, now you can get standard phones with good IPS ratings, so you don't have to worry about using them in the rain.

Contrary to you, I find the continued development of better phones amazing. Latest phone I bought was twice what I thought I'd ever spend, and that was because I wanted a good camera. The new Cameras are so freaking great, that if you ever tried taking pictures with an old film camera, that needed the film developed at a shop to get them on paper.
What we have now is way beyond what I ever imagined possible, but really so is just about everything with a modern smartphone.
They really are marvels of technology that some people just take for granted.
But research the SOC, The Camera, GPS or the motion sensors, even a modest motion sensor utilize quantum theory technology, comparing the synchronization of 2 meeting light waves, and the feature cost less than a dollar to make!

This is what the future was supposed to be, unfortunately only smartphones have delivered beyond our dreams, everything else is turning to shit.

It's solid State, so it should be safer than traditional batteries.

It's a matter of capacity per unit of weight and level of safety that makes the range feasible within the limits of the weight of a normal car.
So it's not bullshit, and other battery manufacturers use similar standards in PR releases.
The correct number would be kWh/kg, but I think most people don't recognize the meaning of such a number as easily.

State subsidies and a huge protected home market.
But to be fair, they really made the most of it. So absolutely also talent.

Yeah farming or mining whatever you can do.
They sell everything for real money, complete accounts with upgraded characters, or rare items or whatever has value in a game.
