Accidentally bought CCA Ethernet cable on Amazon (copper-clad aluminum). Total junk. Copper burns off w/ a lighter, revealing flimsy brittle aluminum, degrades signal, and a PoE fire risk. Only upside is price. Got to rip out 100ft + clips. Don’t make my mistake.

Imagine having a connector so bad, GPU partners of NVIDIA are using RGB for something actually functional, like using them to warn when the 12 Volt High Failure Connectors are about to make your day really interesting.

This issue alone is why I will
never buy an NVIDIA card. It doesn't matter if they make better GPUs, release the drivers under a FOSS license, or even sell their cards at actually affordable prices.

I do not want to live dangerously over something that should not be a concern in 1995. Let alone 2025.

Lilbits: Anker Power Bank recall, Steam for Apple Silicon, and the latest Xbox handheld rumor

There are literally thousands of power banks available for folks looking for a portable battery that you can use to recharge your phone, tablet, and other gear on the go. Anker makes some of the most popular models, so you could say the company’s products are hot. But sometimes they might be a little too hot.

Case in point: Anker has just issued a recall for PwoerCore 10,000 mAh power banks […]

FYI and/or reminder for people who already know:

Linseed oil is combustible and it can *spontaneously* combust. If you're using linseed oil for your woodworking or other project: leave the rags to dry away from sources of fire and fuel, preferably outside, preferably in a fire-proof bucket, until completely dry.

Some oil is not labelled as linseed oil but contains it. Unless you're sure, dispose of your rags and brushes safely!

Just found where a small (?) had broken out in an box of stored household goods.

Concave appears to have focused the winter sun's rays enough to have an edge & folded corner of a cardboard box ignite &/or combust enough for the side flap of the box to fall off.

Smelt the smoke 2 days ago, looked around, thought, "Ah neighbours"

Last - closed bag of leaves in neighbour's back yard igniting in the sunshine/composting & the fire spreading a bit.

Photo of a cardboard box with one horozontal charred edge and a vertical charred edge and a charred track going 60mm down into the back piece of cardboard from the top charred edge. There is a magnifying shaving mirror in the right of the photo and a melted plastic razor blade holder in the bottom left.

I have in another life taken 200 small bales of hay out of a shed and stood them in pairs in the paddock when they began to steam in the shed. Baled too green. They can combust.

Today I learned that the fire hazard of a house with a car is substantially more than that of a house with photovoltaic and house storage system and an electric vehicle, that is substantially more than a house with PV and HSS, that is more than a house with only PV, that is more than only a house with a base risk of 0.28%.

Study: doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2025.116

Preprint: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

#FireHazard, #PV, #HSS, #HouseStorageSystem, #Batteries, #RenewableEnergy, #EnergyStorage

A bar graph starting at zero on the left with another bar graph on the right that is a zoom to the top, both showing for five different scenarios the fire probability per year risk in percent on the vertical axis. Those fire probability comparisons shows:
The risk for a house is 0.2800%, for a house with photovoltaic (PV) is 0.2814%, for a house with PV and home storage system (HSS) is 0.2863%, for a house with PV and HSS is 0.3073%, and for a house with an internal combustion engine (ICE) is 0.369%.

From the looks of it, this Ikea Drill has either loose wire or something. All I know is that is could potentially be a fire hazard.... fun.

I watched a news story that stated any Tesla that makes contact with salt water should not be parked within 70 feet of any dwelling.

I am not buying one of those!

The GCFI outlet in my little bathroom got burnt. Fortunately I saw the smoke and managed to turn it off before things got out of hand. So I guess GCFIs don't protect from burning plugs? 🤷‍♀️!

Whatever.

Culprit was an el cheapo hairdryer. 🙄 Gonna write #FireHazard on it before I dispose of it lest someone tries to use it. I do label my #trash sometimes. I've left a few items in the refuse room labeled "Not trash. Yours, if you want it."

Wondering if I can replace this myself... or call a pro. 🤔?

too y'all. This is magic. Do it.
I am not responsible for your inevitable house fire. But I am doing it.

2 corndogs in a standard toaster. Using begal setting. The elements glow red and there is still a bit of frost on the surface of the battered dog. You know they are done when the sizzling is at climax and the smell of the lightly browned outer layer smells irresistible.

The background is blue, and there are orange flames rising from the bottom of the pile, suggesting it's on fire.
