Hold on, does that overprocessing include the way phones handle depth of field? Like, I notice my SD400 keeps the whole coin sharp edge to edge, but my phone tries to blur the background (or fake a bokeh) even when I don't want it to. Have you ever tried taking a group shot of small objects (like a pile of seeds or beads) with both cameras? My phone always picks one to focus on and just guesses at the rest.

That Ozeri scale is actually a solid brand, I've had one for years before it finally gave out on me. But here's my question for you: have you checked if the tape on the battery cover is actually holding it together or if it's just cosmetic? In my experience, those little plastic tabs break off pretty easily and then the cover just sits loose. If it's just taped on, you might want to throw some superglue on it before it falls off completely and you lose the battery door forever. Your mileage may vary but I've learned that lesson the hard way with a few different gadgets.

Buddy's wife made him wait eight hours at IKEA once.

I used him a while back for a dispute. He was super straightforward and didn't overcomplicate things with unnecessary legal jargon. Got the issue sorted way faster than I expected.

Yeah I read somewhere that some of those little sensors have a constant current draw even in standby mode. It's like they never fully shut down, just sip power all the time. The lithiums have a higher voltage than regular alkaline so the sensor might actually pull more current from them over time. My buddy used to have the same problem with his outdoor temp sensor, he switched to a cheaper alkaline battery and it actually lasted longer because the voltage sag slowed the drain.
