Ordered a tempered glass protector for my Switch. I've not had horrible luck putting on screen protectors & have put them on phones, Wii U's , tablets, etc. and never really have tons of problems but I am now living where there is more traffic and much more dust comes in through the windows. Anyway, I've always seen people say to apply screen protectors in a steamy bathroom to greatly lessen the chance of dust bubbles. How does that work? Won't the screen collect moisture on it bringing it into a hot steamy bathroom, then you have moisture between the screen & protector? Or the moisture causing problems with the adhesive?

I've never heard anyone say that ever, I guess the humidity would allow the protector to sit nicer but I wouldn't think you'd need to do that.

Just clean the screen thoroughly and apply evenly, you shouldn't have an issue

I have heard applying in a humid bathroom works as the dust is forced to settle.
Steam is excessive.

As long as you clean properly and align it you should get a perfect application no bubbles.

Fitted mine perfect first time but misaligned it so ordered another since they dirt cheap

I don't think I'll need to clean the screen as it will be applied to a brand new never used Switch straight out of the box. I think I'll do the bathroom thing just to be safe and do as Arecaidian Fox stated. I'll run the shower on hot and let it get steamy, but will let it dissipate first before going in and applying it.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
