You mean the guy who didn't endorse anyone? I think it was clear that the higher ups would've liked to endorse Harris, but too many of the rank and file members support trump. I don't think this'd move the needle much.

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.

Free speech absolutist, though.

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.

They'd have to convert half the building into a ranch to be considered neutral.
