Anything else I should check?
None of these cameras measure things in Kelvin, the only temperature scale that matters. Disappointing.
They do actually, it’s just that they convert it to Celsius right before displaying the value on the screen
It doesn’t count if you can’t see it!
Kelvin is the only legitimate way to measure temperature. Everything else is trivia. Duh.
Edit: I don’t have time for your downvotes. It’s 277 degrees outside and I don’t have a clean sweater.
Used to have one of these too.
not what I expected to see in the comments of this post
How about that? Did you expect a hamster in infrared?
No.
Nobody ever does…
…sigh.
That hampter is runnin oh boi
Coolest thing to look at is running tap water, switch from hot to cold
Now, this technology is new to me, but I believe that’s Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to 400 degrees. He’s literally stewing in his own juices!
Just because nobody asked:
That’s some hot ass pussy!
Love that curious raised ear. Did you also measure how much of a good boy they are?
“3.8 goodboyes, but that’s as high as the meter go…”
“3.8, not great, not terrible.”
Later…
“It’s not 3 goodboyes, it’s fifteen thousand.”
Dog always gets that expression when the beardy dude that lives with him has one of his strange ideas, like in this case waving a blue box with a handle around. Makes no sense at all, but, humans, y’know.
He is the best boy, of course, no need to measure that. But I verified the low snoot temperature with a snoot boop.
But I verified the low snoot temperature with a snoot boop.
I find your methodology intriguing. It merits a thorough peer review. Is anyone willing to boop their pupper snoot and report back on their findings? For science, of course.
I have a phone with a thermal imager too!
I mostly use it to brag to people about how I have a phone with a thermal imager!
But here is a demonstration that glass will reflect a bit of thermal radiation, but is completely opaque to thermal behind it:
As long as you aren’t touching the glass, wherein the glass will conduct your thermal signature:
And then if you take the hand away, the signature remains on the glass for several minutes!
As a bonus, my phone also has a microscope, and I learned that my facial hair is sometimes triangular:
Ooh that’s pretty rad!
what phone is this?
Ulefone Armour 27T pro.
You can even skip some gym days because the bugger weighs half a kilo.
I thought I’d need to skip the gym because all my money would go to the phone, but it seems relatively priceworthy.
The hardware is great but the OS is shit and buggy. Don’t buy Ulefone unless you’re an android expert and know how to force shitty system apps into submission.
That’s sad to hear. It looks like a pretty good phone otherwise.
Looking for a phone with this, a Geiger counter, and a light spectrum analyzer
Also a hardware keyboard, headphone jack, and runs Linux
It also needs to be under $50
If I’m paying a subscription fee over 10 bucks a month the carrier should subsidize the cost
And it must have absolute privacy. Run everything on the phone like a phone carrier and server combined.
That office has headphone jack and 2 sim slots, and some physical buttons for using the phone when it’s wet or under water, oh and a laser level, etc
I’m so glad I don’t have one. I can’t imagine the amount of time I’d waste play acting splinter cell.
too bad they never released a game after chaos theory.
Go around the house and look at all your outlets. You’ll find that GFCI outlets put out a small amount of heat. (Something to do with their function that is unavoidable.) Regular outlets that are warm and under no load may require investigation.
You can also spot heating conduits in walls, roughly figure out what power adapters are not very efficient, and even use them to gauge how well heated blankets and the like are working. I used mine to look at studs in the wall to figure out (well, be certain about) how some old renovations were handled.How hot is your toilet water please.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Are you sure you’re dull? This is thrilling
Most exciting thing I’ve done since reorganizing my sock drawer!
Can you measure the sock drawer?
Is the sock drawer the same temperature as the toilet water? Logically I would think so, but a weird part of me is saying the toilet water would be colder for some reason.
Wet feels cold, it’s a law of nature
Equilibrium is restored.
Cool
Before and after the deed
An important aspect to specify. Good thinking!
Science!
Check where the heat loss is occurring in your house.
For fucks sake
I can’t believe you’ve done this
This post has been stellar.
Is this loss?
what the fuck lol
I’m so sorry for your heat :(
Well lost, man, well lost.
I don’t get it. What is that?
thanks!
Look up “loss webcomic”
How warm do you get before and after your hot drink? Maybe check your cheeks or your mouth.
Do you own any “Hot Wheels” toy cars? If so, how hot actually are those wheels?
In the absence of “Hot Wheels” toy cars, I’d also be interested in other objects which claim to be hot, but likely aren’t i.e. a “Hot Topic” clothing item, or bottle of “Hot Sauce”.
No wheels or topics here, but a whole collection of hot sauces straight from the fridge
A drop of Tha Bomb: Beyond Insanity on a plate also looks quite disappointing
However, put some of that straight into my mouth and let me tell you, I’m in a world of regrets right now.
Thank you for your service to our entertainment
I think I need an FLIR camera now lol
Brilliant, thank you :)
You can’t not say what phone has FLIR. Need details please! lol
There was a discontinued (and discounted) CAT phone I was looking at a while back. The phone itself was mostly unimpressive, but it did have a decent FLIR camera which is why I was looking at it.
Ah sorry, it’s a second hand CAT s62
Okay, nice. So it is the same one I was looking at. Cool, but “bummer” at the same time. Was hoping there was a current/supported model with FLIR.
I know it’s not the same thing, but there is an external Flir camera that you can attach to your phone by USB-C.
What phone?!
Sorry for the Amazon link, but CAT no longer makes phones as of April 2024 so I can’t link to their website (which no longer exists):
It’s the S62 Rugged smartphone. https://www.amazon.com/CAT-PHONES-S62-Rugged-Smartphone/dp/B08YR66D1H
There’s a few models with thermal cameras, my doogee gt31v has one. I think ulefone and unihertz have models with them.
Don’t expect software updates.
I want a phone with a thermal imager but I’m worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it’ll be a 10 year old industrial affair
How important is it to have it built in? Could just get a FLIR add-on module
Yeah. There’s also separate cameras you can get that plug in with usb-c to the side of your phone.
