Most absurd lie on a product

[Commander Kinsey]

Yeah I saw that, it reminds me of a shape I drew in primary school. Musk needs to invest in a wind tunnel. Those sharp corners are not aerodynamic.

[Commander Kinsey]

All product specs are lies. The CPU cooler in this computer claims it will cool a 300W CPU. Mine gives off only 140W, and that gives a temperature rise of 55C, according to both my readings and those of 3 review sites. 300W would cause a temperature difference of 120C, so to keep it below the usual maximum of 100C, you'd need a room temperature of -20.

Even the 140W is odd, this CPU is rated at 105W. Maybe they don't account for you using every single part of it simultaneously.

[Commander Kinsey]

Seems like somebody went even further and reported him (it wasn't me). The listing has been removed.

[Commander Kinsey]

Nothing should ever ever go inside your arm. And I didn't take art.

[Commander Kinsey]

Why can't they make these things in tablet form, this is the 21st century ffs.

[Joey]

Yes it was and was seen in the UK too when they went looking for that.

[Muddymike]

Like the 500w amplifier I bought, more like 5w in use.

silicon gives up at around 180°C

[The Natural Philosopher]

Possibly because the drug or medication would be broken down before it ever got into your bloodstream

Could it be that the cooler *would* be able to handle a CPU that dissipated more power, but its fan is thermostatically controlled to cut out / reduce speed once an acceptable temperature is reached. My CPU runs at about 50 deg C. Occasionally the temperature rises and I hear the fan go to jet-aircraft-at-takeoff speed to cool the CPU, then reduce to normal once the temp is back in acceptable limits to avoid a continuous loud noise.

And how do you know it's 140W ?

What would the error bars be on that measurement, in your considered opinion ?

One site used to measure the coolers, and it appears to still do some of them.

Taking an example:

Noctua NH-D15 high 10.9C for 125W input or 0.087 C/W.

If room is 25C, inside case air is 35C, 140*0.087=12.18C rise or 47C.

And the processor in question, never gets even remotely close to throttling temperature. If we try the maths at

300W, 300*0.087=26C and 35C case air gives ~61C at the plate. There is a temperature rise to the CPU die (cooler plate to CPU die path) not covered by that, but it's going to be under 100C at the silicon die. It would pass by a little bit.

If we knew your cooler model, it would be easier to work out examples. Maybe Frostytech never measured it, as there's a lot of coolers out there. And measuring them all with a constant jig setup, gives a chance for a fair comparison.

You clearly don't understand that the mask is for protecting others, as even the vaccinated may be able to infect others.

Equally clearly, you are a Republican.

"Zaks? talk shows the Moderna boss was using terms such as "operating system" and "software of life" metaphorically."

"VERDICT

False. mRNA vaccines do not alter the ?recipients? ?DNA and? Moderna? CMO Tal ?Zaks ?did not say they did.

This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team."

The staff at Moderna who do the actual work, don't talk like that, because the terminology is not precise enough for scientific usage. In the picture, you can see two parts of the immune system being trained up on the antigen.

Notice that the RNA activity in this diagram, does not involve the nucleus at the bottom of the picture. I tried to find a picture that would include a nucleus in it, just to make sure.

The article that diagram is from, has too much advertising to make good reading.

"mRNA as a Transformative Technology for Vaccine Development to Control Infectious Diseases"

Just as your medical doctor at the clinic, insists on all that stuff he learned in school like "fibula" when he could have said something else. When info is passed from one doctor to another, the hope is that they all agree what a "fibula" is. Whereas their bushy eyebrows would wiggle if someone said "software of life". Because such terminology is bullshit.

I've just watched that and it says no such thing.

For the flu vaccine, it talks about injecting mRNA, which instructs cells to produce a protein which looks like the virus. The immune system can then learn to defend against it. Once the mRNA is used up, the cells will no longer produce that protein and the protein is destroyed. The only change is that your body has by then learned to defend against the virus - without the risks of having to catch it to do so.

This is how the Covid-19 vaccine works.

Separately, he then goes on to talk about a life-limiting condition that means that faulty DNA does not produce mRNA that is required for the body to produce proteins to help it survive stress. Again mRNA is injected, but this time as a medication. While the mRNA is in the body, it acts as a replacement for the mRNA that the body is not producing, allowing the immune system to function normally. The DNA is not changed, the fault remains, and injections must be repeated to keep replacing the mRNA that has been used up.

In neither case is the DNA modified in any way.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Of course *diseases* all modify DNA, either by killing the host or by generating an inheritable immunity, otherwise we wouldn't have survived...

... its all vaguely reminiscent of the 'dihydrogen oxide' scare...

The function of a vaccine is precisely that - to modify at some level, DNA

[Larry]

Protect others? Seriously? Tell that to the millions of drunk/drugged/distracted drivers I'm forced to share the road with. Sheeeesh!

And proud I'm not part of the democrat's 2020 election heist.

[Bob Eager]

Nice bit of what-about-ery there.

Nice Republican answer.

You can get those half price (assuming you mean the mobile phone sized Li Ion slabs). Order one from China on Ebay. Charge it fully, then power a bulb off it and time how long it lasts and measure the current. It will be a lot less than what it says on the label for the capacity (the full capacity couldn't fit in that size and weight with current technology). Tell the seller this (they probably won't even ask for evidence you did the test). They'll either give you half your money back or a free one because it "must be faulty". I now have two for the price of one, which in parallel will start even the most stubborn of cars.

[Commander Kinsey]

I haven't.
