The nordics, even. Scandinavia is just Sweden/Norway/Denmark.

Fair reason to do it, not against it since they didn’t do it retroactively or anything. Bit sad to see it go from something meaning tomorrow/art + home/country to just “invention” though. Lot of flavor lost there for people who know hindi.

You’d know that if you had read the article

we selected Avishkar, from the Hindi word “aavishkar” meaning “invention.”

Then I’d say he has an even bigger issue, being an idiot

Yea this seems like the best way to support the site tbh. Let people who can afford it pay for running costs in exchange for benefits that don’t negatively affect free users. Much better than being beholden to people who have no interest in you providing a good service.

According to this article, the average temp for paper to ignite is ~230° C (or ~455° F, Fahrenheit 451 anyone?). Your PC will never reach those temps short of a serious electrical issue, and then you have bigger problems than a piece of paper burning up.

implying you’ll be on camera the entire time you work after training. don’t just treat their customers like garbage, that apparently extends to their employees too (not that i’m suprised tbf)

Disagree, if i could connect that to my phone or PC I’d use that all the time

It’s definitely possible, but I’m having a hard time trying to justify it. The amount of power a motor like this would draw i very low, so a few percentage points here or there doesn’t matter. The complexity of the circuit can quickly become fairly complex with something like this and i doubt the extra manufacturing costs would be worth it. Especially not for the seller, since they could easily (and probably do) just write in the warranty or whatever to not spin it excessively.

As a prospective electrical engineer, i sure hope there’s a safeguard against that, since i believe it would be quite simple and cheap to include. If you spin it fast enough you might overload and fry it though, even if it is there.
