I bought a phone with a heat camera and now I know exactly how hot my pizza is

Just because nobody asked:

Used to have one of these too.

Looking for a phone with this, a Geiger counter, and a light spectrum analyzer

Also a hardware keyboard, headphone jack, and runs Linux

How hot is your toilet water please.

Check where the heat loss is occurring in your house.

I have a phone with a thermal imager too!

I mostly use it to brag to people about how I have a phone with a thermal imager!

But here is a demonstration that glass will reflect a bit of thermal radiation, but is completely opaque to thermal behind it:

As long as you aren't touching the glass, wherein the glass will conduct your thermal signature:

And then if you take the hand away, the signature remains on the glass for several minutes!

As a bonus, my phone also has a microscope, and I learned that my facial hair is sometimes triangular:

You can't not say what phone has FLIR. Need details please! lol

There was a discontinued (and discounted) CAT phone I was looking at a while back. The phone itself was mostly unimpressive, but it did have a decent FLIR camera which is why I was looking at it.

Do you own any "Hot Wheels" toy cars? If so, how hot actually are those wheels?

In the absence of "Hot Wheels" toy cars, I'd also be interested in other objects which claim to be hot, but likely aren't i.e. a "Hot Topic" clothing item, or bottle of "Hot Sauce".

I'm so glad I don't have one. I can't imagine the amount of time I'd waste play acting splinter cell.

too bad they never released a game after chaos theory.

you can sometimes use these as a stud finder, depends on the wall

If you ever do electronics repair and are good at soldering these are a lifesaver for quick diagnosis if the resolution is high enough. Look at the board, apply power, and the part that is shorting out will often quickly get stupid hot. Sometimes it will be a complex repair you can’t easily do like a bga chip but you’d be surprised how often it’s just a random capacitor that went bad in your phone or switch or whatever and swapping it out (or even just getting rid of it if it’s an extra filter) fixes the issue. The hard part is finding out the value bc there are never schematics

A less easy to use alternative to this that I use bc thermal cams are expensive is squirt isopropyl alcohol or flux on the board and apply power. It’ll boil at the point where the part is shorting. Harder to determine but much cheaper. If you already have the camera though

Totally random thought, but check the temp of different things both directly, and also in a mirror reflection. I wonder if it'll sense the same temperature via a mirror reflection...

How warm is your empty chair after you've sat in it for an hour

Balls... First thing I would check LOL

Go around the house and look at all your outlets. You’ll find that GFCI outlets put out a small amount of heat. (Something to do with their function that is unavoidable.) Regular outlets that are warm and under no load may require investigation.
You can also spot heating conduits in walls, roughly figure out what power adapters are not very efficient, and even use them to gauge how well heated blankets and the like are working. I used mine to look at studs in the wall to figure out (well, be certain about) how some old renovations were handled.

And here I am using an IR thermometer like a cave man

Now, this technology is new to me, but I believe that's Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to 400 degrees. He's literally stewing in his own juices!

Corners of rooms, especially outside corners and wall sections behind furniture and then compare them with the dew point in the room.

If the walls are colder than the dew point, you'll get condensation.

None of these cameras measure things in Kelvin, the only temperature scale that matters. Disappointing.

If you have a pet that isnt allowed on the bed but you know she gets on it when you are not there, now you have the tools to get that proof. >=)

Look at IR reflections on matte steel surfaces - you'll probably find that the longer wavelengths get reflected quite well on a surface that is matte in visible light.

About 70% of your pizza is 70° hot!

I found an uninsulated stud space in my friend's house using one of these. He couldn't figure out why the room was always cold, they are neat

I’ve seen FLIR thermal cam attachments for your phone not but a phone itself. Is that what you mean?

Check your ceiling and walls.

I want a phone with a thermal imager but I'm worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it'll be a 10 year old industrial affair

Great way to check for roof leaks after a rain

I bought one just to check equipment after I've run it all day. Checking the baler and combine for bad bearings periodically will hopefully prevent an expensive fire.

I have a FLIR camera too and my gas range runs at 250°C confirm?

I have 3 glassbottles in my fridge, that I use for filling up my water bottle I carry around. I have a pixel 8 pro with a thermometer. And I use it to check which bottle have the coldest water if Iam I doubt.

Coolest thing to look at is running tap water, switch from hot to cold

The water coming out of the shower head or faucet when it’s warm enough to be comfortable, but not so hot that it’s scalding.

I would have endless amounts of fun with this

I really wish this was how the thermometer on the pixel phones worked, I'd actually use it then.

I mean it's nice not having to keep track of a dedicated thermometer, but it's such a hastle to use.

Check for the cabels and outlets to see if there is anything wrong with the electrics in your home

Write "HI" with sunscreen on your chest and take a pic of your shirtless self with the heat camera

This makes me think of my pizza from Saturday. We ordered Mod, so my wife and I got individual pizzas. I didn't grab them well from the delivery guy, and they went upside down off the porch. Mine was out of the box, upside down in the snow.

You know what? I ate it anyway.

Pacman reference

Pixel8 has a thermometer built in.

hot Hot HOT!

I've seen these added onto phones, but you bought a phone WITH it already on board? That's sick. I've not seen anything like that in years... They just keep pumping out bullshit over and over again, year after year.
