But he said the reason for one right up front. They are for office workers to have a few cans on hand. Your office won’t go after the power usage and they are not massive heavy boxes. So they are perfect for office workers.
what kind of office doesn’t already have a refrigerator to keep stuff in?
Stop trying to make regular people guilty about having cold drinks while billionaires burn entire forests
You’re being rightfully downvoted into oblivion for bringing up this argument when it doesn’t apply, but I’ll elaborate:
- This video is a counter to the greenwashing peddled by these cheapo “desk fridge” makers parading around their products as environmentally friendly. For those of us who do want to reduce our personal impact on the environment, this is a fantastic exposé on what’s actually going on here. This video actively helps the environment, and there’s nothing at all wrong with that.
- This video will likely also save a number of consumers money and effort by allowing them to get a better product in the form of a mini-fridge where they would’ve otherwise been suckered into an inferior product for their needs. For many viewers, especially those who would have otherwise purchased it because of the greenwashing, this video will save them from unnecessarily sacrificing money and convenience by getting this cheap piece of crap instead of an actual mini-fridge.
I don’t know if you even clicked on the video or not, but this isn’t “making regular people feel guilty about having cold drinks”; it’s informing them that manufacturers are lying to them to make them feel guilty about having cold drinks and telling them to buy their garbage trinkets instead. This video is doing the literal exact opposite of what you’re accusing, even discounting the fact that your argument is often brought up speciously to stifle calls for personal change when you feel like it even marginally encroaches on a convenience that you obtain by mortgaging the Earth’s climate.
You can have cold drinks, just don’t buy these products to cool them.
I’ve got a cooler and an ice pack, cost $5 from a thrift store and keeps my shit cold for a whole day
It’s for when someone walks in thinking they’re all hot shit. You give them the cold shit to bring them to room-temperature shit.
I love this guy
Thermoelectric cooling where you have a water loop and second stage heat sink is actually very effective. The problem with that however is you can generate temperatures below freezing, which can cause condensation in your device under cooling and lead to internal short circuits. Ideally you’d feed back the temperature of the device under cooling to your second stage heat sink so it can ramp up or down heat transfer
I like when Rob turned into a full-blown Texan toward the end.
Nope, his name is Alec Watson!
He’s on the fediverse as well: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify/with_replies
