This article is so much better than what was posted 2 weeks ago (https://lemmy.nz/post/2974266).

Now I do understand it better, tho still not perfectly.

So it can be used to manage hot spots in chips and semiconductors.

If you don't know why it matters, in one of these 2 videos (I don't remember which one) Der8auer discusses with an intel engineer the challenges of designing a chip, where to put the thermal probe and why some parts are designed like that :

Basically : the heat travels through the chip at different rates depending on the material distance... And finding the hot spot is very challenging.

So having better cooling where it matters can be a benefit for chip cooling and efficiency.

Now I don't know if this tech can evolve into something which can be used for this.

It may depends on your rom/os brand. On my device (oxygen os 13.x), I can restrict access somewhere deep into mobile network settings (the translation may not be good as I have it in French) :

Settings > mobile network > data consumption > network access.

And here I see all apps. I can restrict mobile network, WiFi or both.

Currently florisboard doesn't have prediction nor autocorrect prediction.

Due to complications in the development of that feature (either too heavy to run or not smart enough for prediction...) and the development of the app got stuck, until maybe recently where it seems to get some dev attraction on some topics.

Tho the prediction is still stuck. So you won't have yet prediction or smart things in this keyboard.

Florisboard git > discussions (in the menu should be after pull requests)

An adblock dns, something like nextdns, or others won't do anything to harm you Internet speed. They are just resolving a dns query, and saying nothing or no to a blocked query.

It can catch what cannot be blocked by an adblockers on the device, because outside of the website or something.

I don't know about pihole tho.

What this? The user to user or device encryption? From the article, it seems that they stand also against device scanning.

End to end encryption means user to user.

Not a local storage... Your example is just an encrypted storage, there is no end.

Reduce reuse recycle. Seems to be an interesting material for reuse.

Tho I don't know what to think about it for ecology. The material would most like still get into common trash and thrown into the wild.

Only 25% degradation in the ocean is conflicting. If the resin remains and cannot be degraded, well it's still pollution like plastic.

What happens to the material is burned in a trash incinerator? Does it release bits of resin in the air like plastic?

or when in the wild under rain or dirt?

Tho it still seems to be an interesting material which may allow for a easier repair or recicling of road material.

Hijacking edit : The article in this post is trash look at this one : https://spectrum.ieee.org/thermal-transistor

I'm not sure if I understand this very well, and how small these could be built.

But let's look at the computer cpus. It maybe would allow for a better heat management in these chips.

When a cpu is designed, the engineers have no idea where the hot-spot is. After plenty of testing, a general spot for a termal probe would be found. However that spot may not be the real hot spot, due to limitations in the design and other factors, like the uneven dissipation of heat in the chip. So there is a tollererance used to prevent the chip from burning itself.

Maybe these thermal transistors could transfer the heat where it really matters and even out how the head gets out of the cpu, which would possibly enhance that heat management and get better results.

I don't remember exactly where this cpu temperature probe limitation was discussed. It would be in one of these 2 videos from Der8auer :

I don't use chromium, did not test currently.

But I just saw a video about a chromium browser : Thorium.

It's chromium but with many hardware acceleration, speed, and compatibility enhancements coming from multiple sources and from the guy developing it on github, making it very fast and nicer to use than default chromium.

It has Google sync, so it's not ungoogled, but it has way less bload and more privacy than chrome.
