Plastic clips of some kind, found during housecleaning. Coin is a US quarter, for scale. Could they be part of an air fryer? Not sure whether to throw them out. Thx.

There isn't much more info at the link. No idea what's going on. There was an outage initially estimage as 12h or so, but now it's weeks.

Update: security incident, nothing deleted, analysis in progress. https://www.otwstatus.org/

The usual thing where the contact between the inner battery tube and the outer PCB ring gets unreliable. Cleaning the tube end fixes it temporarily but then it acts up again soon. This is a TS10SG if that matters. The problem is apparently common with TS10's and also (maybe less so?) with the Emisar KR1AA.

Is there a more permanent fix than cleaning? Like applying some kind of plating or coating? If they make a titanium body TS10v3, would that help, since it shouldn't oxidize the way aluminum does? Should I give up and get a D3AA? I'm not that keen on the D3AA because of the larger head diameter. Hey Hank, a narrower, single emitter D3AA would appreciated ;).

Was there a titanium KR1AA at one point? I don't see it listed now.

Thanks

I mean those little foil wrapped squares of butter, maybe 10 grams each, like you get with your dinner roll at a restaurant. Because reasons, I have 100+ of those things in the freezer. I use a square or two now and then but I'm not big into butter most of the time.

What's something I can do with this butter? That probably means cook or bake something, as I expect the local Goodwill won't take it. I doubt that a food bank would take it either, though maybe that's worth a try (any idea)? I have a pressure cooker (instant pot) and an oven/range but not much cooking gear.

Thanks for any suggestions. Funny ones are fine.

Interestingly this seems to be an attack against the modem. I had thought modems were well separated from the rest of the phone by now.

Not Navier-Stokes, that was a couple days ago, old news. It's one of the less famous problems they posted around the same time.

It's because of diamond's high heat conductivity. The AI chips run too hot for traditional copper heat sinks to keep them cool.

Article says the best view will be in Spain, but that's unintended irony since the sun has already disappeared there due to wildfire smoke :(.
