Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

Yuh, you ever tried to run an air cooler system, of any sort, with 160⁰F / 71⁰C as the input air temperature? That's how you overstress underrated systems and shit fails anyways.

Where are you pulling these numbers from? I'm relatively sure you're just making some up by now until you hit one where any concept that has been explained to you will not work.

Contrarianism should not be entertained.

Been there, experienced that, in my pocket no less.

Matter of fact, we got a phone battery on order to replace a spicy pillow. I should go check the mail now..

Could you share more details about the active cooling system for your particular phone?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world -4 points 18 hours ago

Yes. Heat rises. And the device should never get that hot.
