Small Quebec town introduces $200 tax for treeless yards in effort to combat heat islands
A small Quebec town is using a novel approach to encourage residents to plant trees by charging a $200 annual surtax to homeowners who don't have at least one tree in their front yard. The municipality said the trees are necessary to mitigate the impact ...

I've noticed something interesting:

Subject: Android
Nested subject: heat management

Only when you pay significant amounts of USD do certain companies actually pay attention to properly cooling down their Androids

At the ignorant level I got myself a few Samsung phones over the past years. I deliberately never went over the mid-range price of phones simply because of the premium price that Samsung lets you pay for mid-range phones.

My first Android was donated to me because I didn't see any Good use for it looking at my workflow, which consists of email SMS POTS and GSM connections.

So the first Samsung was a budget Android phone. In those years the SOC's didn't produce any significant amount of heat where cooling was a premium Factor.

So I went to my first purchased Samsung Android. Then cooling became significant but the phone got by, simply because I didn't do anything that was graphic intensive and I never played games on midrange phones because they were not designed for it.

On other Samsung phone is where cooling became a factor because I started to use a Emoji program produced by Samsung itself that created 3D emojis for you making the GPU on the soc work a bit.

It was then that I learned that midrange phones didn't get any great Cooling, Samsung just made those things heat up to 40 Celsius and when it reached 41 the phone went down. I never got a problem because I constantly monitor the temperature of the Android simply by putting my lower arm on the screen; if the touch screen is warm to the touch it means that the phone is about 10 Celsius higher in temperature so I naturally shut it down because the battery can then become a littleral bomb.

Getting to other Androids is where I realized that cooling was not important for many companies.

Xiaomi makes very nice mid-range phones with good specs and enormously poor Cooling. My Note 12s is proof of that.

That phone is basically bricked because I had to cool it in such an aggressive way, that the power management System of it which got haywire after the last patch simply failed to work even in the basically manner before the fateful patch.

On Flagship phones at all brands the companies do pay attention to proper Cooling

I've had a number of those flagship phones on my hands and I deliberately jacked up the GPUs to work and those things were cooled well

The question is: why do companies want a thousand USD or more before they properly cool their Android devices, with hot GPUs why can't they do it on a device that costs $175 USD?

The reply may surprise you it's part of planned obsolescence.

My Xiaomi me phone worked well for just a year, it only reached that year because of my aggressive Cooling.

After that the phone was toasted remotely by Xiaomi, since the patch destroyed the heat & power management.

This makes me want to go back to the period where heat sinks were made of aluminum on circuits which only had two layers.

Those were the devices that you could repair yourself easily with just a soldering iron some heatsink paste and soldering skills.

And don't let me start on that battery thing, because those are the real hard planned obsolescence systems, destroying your phone after 3 years of battery life which should be easily replaceable

"A federal judge on Wednesday found the extreme heat in Texas prisons is 'plainly unconstitutional,' but declined to order the state to immediately start installing air conditioning, which could cost billions.

The judge affirmed claims brought by advocates of people incarcerated in the state, where summer heat routinely soars above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius)."

New paper: More tree species ➡️ less heat peaks 🌳🌡️ Below the #forest canopy it is cooler during heat waves and warmer during cold waves than in the surrounding area.

This temperature buffering is all the stronger the more tree species grow in the forest. The new study by researchers from #iDiv, @UniHalle and #UniLeipzig was carried out in the large-scale planted forest experiment #BEFChina.

Climate change is the most pressing problem humanity will face this century. Tracking how the climate is actually changing has never been more critical. Today, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) published its annual State of the Climate report, which found heat records kept being broken in 2024. It’s likely 2024 was the first year to be more than 1.5°C above the Earth’s pre-industrial average temperature. In 2024, levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hit the highest point in the last

ARTMS -- Heat

This YouTube has the entire Lunar Theory concert. I've no idea how long it will remain up.

I've started it here at 36:32, a few seconds before they begin "Heat". Although I miss OT12, I'm glad to see some of the old Loona songs in performance.

I've always liked "Heat"; that much overused kpop term "sultry" fits the song so well.

I find these outfits most appealing.
