apparently the rubber/tpu case for my old sony xperia z1 compact (I think?) completely went moldy somehow? I saw it when I was going through some old stuff, removed it right away, though it kinda leaves the half-broken phone exposed (the back cracked when it was still in use)
so PSA I guess for old stuff collectors: TPU cases can degrade and become a biohazard/chemical hazard for your other devices.

it's not just the outside either, the whole thing is thoroughly infected with.. something, but unsure what.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz Things make of silicone are basically made of sand. Glass is also made of sand. Don't get me started on computer chips.
