  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  2. Honestly I couldn't care less anymore if these things existed. Be careful with your expensive devices. I know people who have dropped their phones inside the toilet among other places. I use my device without a case half of the time and no insurance. Why? Because if most people think about it they likely have never used their insurance but have spent hundreds of dollars on it.

  3. I have the LG G8 Thinq and let me tell you im always listening to music on my phone while im doing everything. It fell in the washer once and i didn't notice until i was looking for it and couldn't find it. It wasn't until i emptied the washer i saw it. With the always on display still on. Music still playing through my Bluetooth earbuds. Wiped it off and just continued using it like it was nothing. Its so backwards for ALL phones not to have this feature and its why i Haven't bought a new phone as yet

  4. To me it is important. I like protection. Last 3 phones were rugged ones. CAT B15 was piece of shit. It was resistant to water and drops but it had weak battery, weak speakers, shitty camera, it overheated. Now I am using Blackview BV7000 Pro and its good. Loud speakers, good battery, water and drop resistance, it is not too bulky like rest of the rugged devices, ok camera in daylight. It has some cons. Oversensitive buttons and it is too wide for my hands.

  5. Just two days ago I accidentally jumped into a pool with my pixel 3a in my pocket, it couldn't have been in the water for more than fifteen seconds but it got totally fried. So I bought a new phone, and this time I paid attention to ip ratings. So they have very much made a difference in my choice.

  6. Based on experience waterproof phones are better. I can use it when biking while raining as much as swimming and taking videos underwater

  7. What's the difference between IP67 and IP68? My S5 is 67, my Note9 is 68. But I've read that for both they write 1h 30meters in water.

  8. I once saw the editor in chief of a tech website vehemently argue that an IP rating is not a measure of water resistance. 😂

  9. In NYC where it rains or snows randomly especially winter, ip68 is a boon to have and important to me using an s10+ especially if you use it in those conditions.

  10. I dropped my samsung and iPhone 7 plus into the pool for testing, no issue accept charging when port are wet which solved by wireless charging.
    As a biker, i need IP rating.

  11. I know of 2 legit waterproof phones, that survived being submerged (by accident) in water – despite them being NOT IP rated! These are: Sony Ericsson K600i and Bluboo Edge. I still have both and they still work to this day. The trick is to immediately shut them off, take the battery out (SE K600) and put the battery and the phone in a jar full of rice, so the rice can absorb the moisture. Putting the jar on a heat radiator speed up the drying process and lower the risk of moisture damaging the electronics.

  12. I'm using Xperia Z3 plus ( almost 5 years old flagship) it has IP68 and it's awesome to use in rains … Under fresh water like shower , bathtub etc .. I love this option

  13. IP rating is definitely a criteria i look for in a smartphone. Have used mobile phones for about 20 years now. Starting with the motorola startac. I have generally been careful with phones. And ever since the advent of smartphones i have a case on them for protection. I did however drop my LG V30 in a pool one time. And i felt so glad it had the IP rating. Its been over a year since the pool incident and the phone has no complaints whatsoever. It is just one incident in 20 years(apart from accidental drops and spills) but that one incident in the pool convinced me that any phone i pick up in the future should have an IP rating.

  14. I never had a phone which has an IP rating and none of them died from either dust or water. Unless you have a need to use it underwater, say for underwater photos or videos, and that requires at least IPx7 (better in IPx8, but not in IPx9K), I don't think most normal conditions require it. For water, most phones can survive light to mid rain. Dust is rarely encountered unless in some specific areas, so today it rarely jams any phone component.

  15. Hello.I think the IP rating are important nowdays,because to everyone could happen to drop their phone on water.Who says that midranger phoned are not with IP rating standarts ? There are some OEM which made rugged phones,with midrange specs.I have from 2 month now a Cat phone,the S52 model,a rugged phone with mil std specs and IP68 standart,and i'm very happy with that.Thank you.

  16. Something also to bear in mind is that 'water resistance' ability deteriorates in time. Also if your phone has been repair by non-professionals, they may have destroyed the water seals without you knowing. For example, my mate sent his iPhone 7 to someone for repair. Because that guy broke the seal in order to access the internals, and didn't replace that seal (I think it was an adhesive layer) that the phone's screen went yellow after exposing to water.

  17. I had s9 plus which is ip 68. I put it in a jug of water for 5 mins. It water damaged and I lost all my data and my phone. Please do not put your phone in water for fun
