I am not a robot. I promise.

Yep, been there, tried that. I used to work as a mobile device hardware tech for over a decade, though I didn’t exactly get the opportunity to experiment with every device that came across my bench ya know…


Now that’s a legit idea!
I don’t exactly have spare devices to experiment with, but that’s an awesome idea 👍


My question/idea is to repurpose old devices for home use, even after the battery done went to shit…
Whatever devices that can function without a battery at all would be ideal. You know, something you can use at home to watch videos or whatever…


Nope, so far never seen one work that way, and both me and my roommate have phones with removable batteries, so of course I’ve tried, but no dice, they instantly shut off when power is plugged in but you remove the battery :(


Nah, more thinking towards repurposing old devices with bad batteries for around the house permanently plugged in, without any battery at all.
Not every device absolutely has to be portable, but sadly in all my years of tech, so far (to my knowledge), have I ever run across a mobile device that’ll function without a battery :(


I dunno, Danielle Fishel seems to have a pretty busy career…


While you’re effectively right in your comparison, you also must understand the difference between electronic data center cooling vs vehicle engine cooling.
Vehicle engines run best at a higher temperature range than electronics, so they install a thermostat, to literally bring the engine temperature up to a suitable range for ideal performance. But the thermostat is not necessary (unless you live near cold polar regions and want heat).
The thermostat can be safely removed from vehicles in more comfortable climates and the vehicle will run just fine, but just quite a bit cooler.
So, take the concept of a closed loop cooling system, remove the thermostat from the equation, and you got a more viable closed loop system more suitable to keep electronics cool.


You’re almost right, but there do exist air cooled engines with no conventional radiator or water/antifreeze pump…

Many motorcycles also use air cooling.


I spoke with our CEO, Mr. Dip Shit, and he said we can’t afford filters…


I made a point to update my post, not only with your link, but also with your timestamped link.
This is why I’m here, to ask questions and seek answers…


This is exactly why I asked, hoping for more information like this.
👍


I am still learning. Thank you for your educational comment.
I loathe AI anyways, I just wanna better understand why I loathe AI…


So, similar to a vehicle radiator, just larger scale?
Well, if that’s the case, yeah antifreeze isn’t good for anyone, but still a proper closed loop cooling system isn’t exactly wasting water is it?


Naw duh. You could probably replace 50 data centers with 12 jumping spider brains, those are some really intelligent critters…


My parents gave me the book of riddles. Wish I still had it…
That’s the only depression here, that I don’t still have the book ☹️
Double edit: I rather liked the book.


Probably not, I’ve been with a former prison warden before, but she was called out for having a fantasy diary of over 50 men…
I haven’t heard from T. anymore since then…


I’m probably gonna fuck this up, it’s something of an old ‘meme’, before I was even born in 1982. Anyways, an old riddle I once heard, from a book written before I was born…
Riddle…
Answer…
Yeah, works better verbally LMFAO!


This is more of a question than a thought, but apparently the English language borrows from lots of Latin-ish and other alphabetic languages of centuries past.
Yes English is awkward. I didn’t write the rules or definitions either. 🤷
Well look at this fat cat here that can afford multiple milks…
Nah, for real, put the newest milk in the back, use up the oldest milk first.
