Oh, huh. That’s interesting. I’m from the great white north, and our gas hookups are copper from what I’ve seen. If this is indeed iron, then the melting point would be higher: ~ 1,540°C.
Interestingly that colour temperature chart is supposedly fairly consistent across different metals.
I think you’re right. I was curious, so I looked it up.
The melting point of copper is 1,085°C, and judging from this chart, its definitely getting close:
While it looks scary as fuck, wouldn’t it not actually explode unless the gas pipe melted through? There’s no oxygen in the fuel, so it can’t combust. I guess as the gas heats up, it’s also possible the for the tank or lines to spring a leak.
Either way, I’d be nopeing out and calling emergency services.
This might work for consumer markets, but they’ve got b2b partners with deep pockets and expensive lawyers that are not happy. Also, the problem is widespread enough that a class action suit would be a pretty big deal. I don’t think this’ll just blow over.
IMO intell is scrambling to solve a hardware problem with software so they don’t have to do a massive and very, very costly recall.
Until they unequivocally show this not to be the, just hang tight.
Shocking. Absolutely shocking, I say. It’s almost like we’ve seen this exact pattern a hundred times before.
Yeah, the high end 9 series are (were) great. I’m still using my S9+ and just don’t have any good reason to “upgrade”. I don’t intend to get a phone that doesn’t have a headphone jack and memory card slot.
I do kinda miss having a stylus, though, having come from the Note 4 previously.
FOSS apps are generally more secure due to auditability of the source. Many eyes, and all that. Although I’m sure there’s also reduced interest from attackers on smaller platforms.
Also, malware devs would have the additional constraint of having to either open source their malware, which they probably don’t want to do, or sideload their payload, which is more work for them.
From the picture, yes, Google Play is indeed malware. F-Droid is the way.
I’d highly recommend hydrus network for that sort of thing. It’s exactly what it’s designed for, and is quite mature but still very actively developed.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That’s why I use this app to normalize time.
And you can’t out yourself because, in many workplace cultures, the appearance of knowing is more important than actually knowing. :/
New BD toy just dropped.
That seems like a very backwards way to talk about “rights”. They don’t have the right to infringe upon the rights of others, which is the reason they face legal consequences for doing so.
It’d be like me saying “I have the right to kill indiscriminately, and the state has the right to punish me for it,” instead of simply “I don’t have the right to kill indiscriminately.”
Cynical take: Presumably to protect corporations from whistleblowers.
I think what stands out to me is the growing use of legislative power to stop strikes and remove negotiating power from unions. The most recent major example being the then pending rail strike back in 2022.
Sure Trump will be 10x worse, but the Dems really haven’t done enough to address the health and safety of these people, and to protect them from growing corporate exploitation.
Not to underplay the craziness of this, but I’d assumed from the headline it meant annually, but it’s actually current active deals over the period of 2011-2030:
the study highlighted 205 active deals over a period starting in 2011 — with some deals scheduled to last until 2030
Of course that leaves out any future deal that’ll be made in the that period.
It definitely would’ve been nice if they’d given us what they’re spending in an average year.
I don’t know, but I’ve been told
Filling the jar is getting old
