Oh they would!
And then make it mandatory for everyone with a penis.
For child protection, you know.

Just noticed Child Protection.

Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.

Oouh!

Oof

Schematics or die

I’d rather have neither, but I guess I can just avoid the gas station.
There’d be too many tobacco-heads anyway.

Psst I also changed some behaviour in my GPL editor for personal use once without sharing my changes and also I also used that version a few times while writing proprietary commercial code… Pls don’t tell Stallman

As long as you didn’t ship the edited binary of the GPL editor with your proprietary software, you are safe here.

I did.
Since I don’t know what else Epstein was up to, it might as well could be some other form of pursuit of knowledge.
And while everyone has their times of foolishness, why would someone want to broadcast having been a part of those acts. Alright, maybe he had a “show off but not get caught” fetish of some kind, but still.

Guess we need to do a Cu block vs cheap Ali Express cooler comparison.
Cooling ability for the given workload (probably not much if the customer was satisfied by this one) and noise.

I would say it would have been much better to have the block wider at the top (trapezoidal vertical x-section). That way it could give even better cooling performance.

Yeah, I have played Diablo II
It’s more fun thinking about it in hindsight than it was, actually doing that

I think they were referring to the speech given to the US troops.

Now you need to check if you put in your real IP or the VPN IP in the website.

I get that.
Just wasn’t very tasty.

I just thought of another reason for using Al this way.
Since the heat is being transferred to air, which would be much slower than the 2, using larger fins with lesser thermal conductivity might be more desirable than smaller fins with higher conductivity.
This would also be accompanied with other design changes like greater fin-fin gap, which is better for use with lower pressure fans.
So overall cheaper design and lesser noise.

Of course one could still use Copper fins with the same design for marginal performance increase, at the cost of more weight.

The problems and complications with your method:

1. Suppose Cu is much faster at heat transfer and you only briefly touched it. Your skin does not actually sense temperature, but rate of heat transfer, which depends not only upon the material temperature but also upon how well it will transfer heat. Better use a thermometer.
2. As explained in https://lemmy.nz/comment/20463232, you need to make sure both have been given the same amount of thermal energy and not just heated upto the same temperature. The best way to do so, is by embedding a heat generator right in the middle of the block and transferring a measured amount of energy. e.g. You can embed an electric heater wire (you will require insulation too. That’s your headache (ceramic, perhaps)) and pass current using a power source that gives a measurement of the total energy.

One of the main reasons for Copper to have seen a higher variety of use cases is because it is monetarily cheaper, so is preferable even in cases it might be inferior to Silver.

Yeah, but won’t it also be much cheaper than machined, branded stuff?

Honestly, I too had similar thoughts ~ a decade ago.
But then I looked back at my childhood, realised how much of a fool I was and how many times I was manipulated and understood how that could have worked in this context.

While I hate dogs, I can’t really condone this.

That would be, “100% and I can bet $100 on it.”.
