With a little luck it will experience a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” before the IPO 😁

I want to make sure that the schmucks who financed this abomination in the first place pay dearly for it, rather than fleecing the subsequent hapless small investors and the rest of society who don’t understand and will buy into the hype.

Can we please have the bubble burst before the IPO?

I have some bad news for you … the rest of the world outside school uses even more paper.

The word you’re looking for is … abomination.

The word you’re looking for is … abomination.

Because they’re likely not all using the same data. Some will be time delayed, from a different weather station, averaged over a different period, any number of variations.

1. The temperature on the phone is likely an official temperature, measured at a specific location, under very precise conditions.
2. The thermometer is in full sun, which is not at all either standardised, nor under any controlled conditions, for example, you’re holding it and your temperature is 37°C.

Temperature is measured like this:

Have you considered that the temperature displayed by the phone comes from the internet, rather than an onboard thermometer?

If it helps, it’s the only thing I think of wherever I encounter it, bus lines, taxi numbers, number plates, street numbers, you name it.

So, yeah, I think it’s funny.

TIL that it’s about relative temperature, rather than absolute. In other words it’s news because it’s the highest it’s EVER been, rather than because it’s a high temperature.

I live in Australia and we regularly hit 40°C.

This year we hit, 42.9°C, last year 44.7°C, the highest on record was 46.7°C. In other words, it gets hot.

Why is over 30°C in the UK news worthy, what makes that more significant than when we hit 42.9 on a Monday?

Here you go:

• Digi-Key
• Mouser
• Element-14

It’s OK to use 200 instead.

So if we all stop buying Starlink … the music stops?

Good to know.

That’s a fair comment, but there’s a secondary reason I suggested it, eliminating the OS as a potential cause. If it still crashes while booted into memtest86, it’s much more likely to be a hardware fault, on the other hand, if it stays running overnight, it’s more likely to be software.

Make a bootable USB or CD with memtest86 and boot from it. Then let it test your memory. Based on what you’re describing, it’s a good candidate for a fault.
