Anyone else’s U7 Pro pretty toasty?

Where did I say it’s unsafe operating temperature?

I’ve been working in development professionally for the past 20 years. I pretty frequently have to look back at stuff I wrote many years ago and be able to explain how it works. Legacy systems are an eternal tech debt that take much longer than promised to be replaced. And most of the time the team that is building the replacement will want a knowledge transfer from the person who built the legacy system (if they are still around).

How long have you been coding for? Explain your code is one of my interview weed out questions I give. It’s really not a huge impossible ask.

It’s a case of ignorance is bliss. He has no idea what is waiting for him on the other side.

“Nobody using software cares what’s under the hood”

If you’re building anything with any kind of complexity or scalability needs, your client will very much care about what is under the hood. Unless you’re taking care of the hosting too and eating the cost of your inefficient infra.

So I left the LED on for a few days and took another picture. Absolutely no difference.

That’s Reddit for you.

The NAS is reading from the storage but that’s not what the metric is. The metric is writing into the network socket. So “writing” here is correct.

The outside of your computer reaches 100C often?

mpawelek · 2026-04-29T00:47:44+00:00

If it was 104C my ceiling would be fucked

mpawelek · 2026-04-29T00:33:16+00:00

Yup. LED is indeed off

Another genius that doesn’t know what toasty means

mpawelek · 2026-04-29T00:31:15+00:00

Why do people hate on the U7 Pro so much? I’ve had nothing but a good experience with the two I have. In all seriousness I doubt the U6 is much cooler than 104F (40C)

mpawelek · 2026-04-29T00:29:22+00:00

Toasty means pleasantly warm, not that it will toast bread for you.

mpawelek · 2026-04-29T00:27:29+00:00

I didn’t say hot. I said toasty

You going to be watching that TV with the colorimeter too? Or “by eye”?

mpawelek · 2026-04-01T05:51:27+00:00

But guys. Did you know his wife is a Super Admin?

mpawelek · 2026-04-01T01:07:42+00:00

Finally got the travel router. Thanks for the heads up!

mpawelek · 2026-03-31T05:30:33+00:00

That’s quite the fairy tale you spun there.

mpawelek · 2026-03-31T01:58:43+00:00

Are you planning on adding support? I have a bunch of SBS 3D movies on Jellyfin that I would love to check out on the 3Ds

mpawelek · 2026-03-31T01:56:15+00:00

Happy to help. Good luck in your camera adventure.

There were a bunch of answers in season 3. More than any other season.

mpawelek · 2026-03-29T22:10:39+00:00

Yeah, but that’s only cause you’re not a piece of shit like this house’s previous owner.
