Ive set my my oven to 125 - 175 degrees, then turn it off and put my phone, watch and even a PC in there to dry them out and dehumidify them for up to an hour. I then wait a day and then put them back to power. I’ve restored all non water proof devices this way so long as the battery doesn’t swell it seems to always work.


Celsius or Fahrenheit before people destroy their hardware?


Surely Fahrenheit, so as to not be above the boiling temperature of water.


I’m sure most of the world’s population has no idea what the boiling temperature of water is in Fahrenheit.



Why is a temperature conversion circular?!


Because the page is also about angles that are measured in degrees I think.


I honestly thought “That sounds really dangerous for the hardware”.


I remember fixing a graphics card years ago in the oven. Stripped all the heatsink and other removable parts off it and baked it for 15 mins or so. It reflowed the solider joints nicely and worked for several years afterwards.


For drying, the airflow is much more important than temperature.


> even a PC in there

Wow your oven must be huge.


I assume by PC he means motherboard and components on the motherboard, not the whole case.


What gigantic PC do you own that doesn't fit in the oven? An entire server rack?


I have a standard PC, measures about 10 by 20 by 20 inches. I have never seen an oven in a residential building that can accommodate the whole thing.


All my ovens could fit my similarly sized PC. Both US and Europe.


Guess you guys have huge ovens over there. My bad, I've never seen one that big in India.


Your pizza must look for ants :(


My oven's interior is approximately 22x22x15 inches of usable space and is what I'd consider a very basic low-end oven in the united states.


Hmm, I think my Fractal Design Mini C micro-atx case could barely fit in oven, and very likely not... 40x40x21 has two dimensions at the limit...


And now they are all adding ADs on top of it


More likely Drew. Lol


The Christian calculators are finally biting back.


This is some reference I don't get.


Drew is an antagonistic atheist, which is part of a good handful of reasons he was banned from Omnimaga, a calculator forum.


It would be epic if the DDoS was from a swarm of KnightOS infected calculators. Even more if they were able to do it because Drew made a workable network stack. lol


They have been having more and more issues lately. It's a productivity killer


I just don’t see why this is needed.

Almost everything on Linux has a homebrew version available.

Perhaps it could be helpful for pure development needs. I guess.


Demoted him and yet it still exists? Personally not a fan of it. It’s not intuitive, but maybe it is if your a windows guy. But being a Linux guy, nothing about it is familiar to a shell experience.


I have to use it at work, and cannot quite get used to it. Happy that WSL exists! But, still way better than cmd!


141 million, is a minor footnote in their profits.


I almost never run the code locally unless I see something questionable and can’t reason about what it will do because I’m unfamiliar with something in it. For that, I tend to use a REPL for just the snippet of questionable code.

However, if the code is a large enough change, and it needs testing anyways, I will run it.


This is essentially how life works. Ever do a group project, volunteer, anything that involves a group of people? It almost always devolves into about 10% of said group doing all the work.


Because people rarely can contribute in equal amounts, unless it's something simple, like walking.


Yes, the Pareto principle is similar and states that 20 percent of a group will produce 80 percent of the activity.


That’s some fucking bullshit!
