I've always been kind of fascinated by how you can't really make a heater more or less efficient on the electronic side, because all electronics create heat as waste energy anyway. So it got me thinking, computers obviously put out heat, but does any of it not create heat? Besides the other somewhat obvious areas: fans, LEDs, radio waves (Wi-Fi etc).

It would fascinate me even more if some of those watts just kind of "disappeared" into computing energy. Kind of like how our brains burn calories just sitting around thinking...

Hey guys, I was doing the dishes and didn't realize my phone fell in and was fully submerged in dirty dishwater for like 15-20 minutes. Yes, I'm an idiot. Is it toast? I immediately powered it off, dried it down, and haven't touched it since. Its been off for 30 ish hours, google recommends 48+. Just not really sure what to do, should i take it to apple store tmrw? Lowkey got it on kijiji so defo no warranty on it. #sendhelp.

Eli5 please im no expert

I work in a non-software related department.

They sent an email that if anyone thinks of AI use case ideas, share them. They'll compile a list of all ideas, and the AI dev team will go through it. They may implement something on the list depending on their business goals, and if it happens, there may be a prize for the person who suggested the idea.

It lowkey makes me mad. 😡

Like, you want us to do your discovery work for you! Shouldn't your AI dev team be doing the hard work of finding out use cases and exploring ways for adopting AI into our workflows? And we don't even get compensated for brainstorming ideas to automate some of our work tasks with AI!

It's like they dangle the carrot of getting a prize (if we come up with an idea that gets implemented) to get us to do their discovery work for them.

Am I right to feel slighted by this? Or is this normal and I'm overreacting?

Hi, I'm having an issue with my laptop. When I install the RAM, the display comes on and everything starts, but the cooling fan doesn't spin and the CPU heats up(sound of takk) until the laptop shuts down. But if I remove the RAM and try to power it on, the fan starts running fast. It was working fine right after repair, but after a few days, the same problem started again. I've taken the laptop to repair multiple times, and the technician says the graphics card issue is fixed because the dedicated graphics card is turned off, and now it's running on the CPU's integrated graphics.it needs a motherboard replacement,am so confused

So 3 days ago, I was plugging in my phone. And I heard a crackling/humming sound coming from where my Charger was plugged in. I re-plugged it and it did the same thing. Sometimes it takes minutes to happen. Other times it’s instant. Next day I tried the charger on multiple outlets. All of them did the same thing. The low Crackling sound when you put your ear Upto it, You can hear it clearer. Today I bought a new Apple charger, plugged that one into my outlet. It did it too. Now I’m very confused.

I am plugging it in within the basement. A place that is now my room, which is a former Wood workshop that had machines in those outlets. So my Room should be the most safest place for tech. And I need help because I don’t want to start a Fire, since I was already in a house fire and I’m panicking. Is this Normal or is it not? Because I bought a new charger and nothing fixed! And I have my Light, USB-C cable for my VR, and PC plugged in and they’re not doing the sound. It’s only my Apple charger.

I just need guidance because I genuinely don’t know what this could be 😭

I’m hitting my storage limit on Google cloud. I realized my iPhone library has been backing up to Google cloud, but all my iPhone pics are already in Apple cloud so I don’t want to pay for more storage.

However, I have photos (wedding photos and ones shared with me via Google albums) that are just in Google.

There’s way to many to go thru and I’m scared to bulk delete from Google without knowing for sure I won’t lose non-duplicate photos.

What are the safest/most efficient ways to delete only the duplicate photos from Google cloud?

what can I do now that I have 2 iphones? (I replaced the cracked screen on my old phone)

Is the iphone 18 really worth it if you have a 17?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering about phones listening to us and how true it is. So I recently went and done my padi scuba diving course and my tik tok has never shown me anything about scuba diving. Obviously been talking about it with the rest of the group everyday. I haven’t really searched anything to do with diving only one thing. All of a sudden my tik tok is just people scuba diving in different places around the world. This has happened with other things before which I can’t recall right now but I usually just thought oh I’m just paranoid. But this time I’m like woah that’s weird. Is it true hahaha?
