How concerned should one be about their electronics in a tropical climate?

Hot humid climates are bad for electronics because wet metals corrode and heat makes chemical reactions occur more quickly. Soon I'm moving from a temperate climate to a tropical climate. Is it worth storing my Switch in an airtight container with a moisture absorber, taking any other precautions or is this just paranoia?

:unsure: Interesting question. I'm not a tekie guy, but one would think you would still get "Condensation" in it when you take it out of the "airtight container" in a moisture like environment :mellow:

Let's see what the guys come up with. :)

On a side note:

As a child, I used to live in Mexico, and I carried around an old low tech "Motorola" Portable Radio, and had no problems. Though it doesn't produce high heat that requires it to have a fan.

This is true but there's a difference between it being in humid air when I'm actually using it and storing it in humid air for years.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
