I find it funny how simple testing can provide immeasurable pleasure.

I passed many a team management running test after test, to see how close I could get the toggle to the end of the bolt on a single spin.

I recall having to construct a heat sink for the power supply regulator in a model car set my buddies and myself were playing with. A quarter with a hole drilled in it and a fan of alligator clips kept the power supply from shutting down well into the early morning. Nothing like large chunks of metal to keep thing cool.

Great share [mention:2f7f3f52ea644a4ba1053d94e948bd06:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,some projects are just fun.

Interesting results.

There is a rule of thumb, that a temperature increase of 10degC cuts the mean time between failure in half.

So you might have just doubled the average life time of your Pi, assuming your thumb has the correct size.

And this rule is not valid for edible Pi's. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-26c8b265-031d-41e8-8538-c3abd1a10d93/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]
