I've seen this mentioned before, and it makes me wonder. Can I actually use my cell phone as a flipper replacement? By which I mean, I'd like to run flipper apps on my phone, as long as they only depend on RF and not the IR se

Okay so if I put ten blankets on you, is it fair to say that I didn't cause you to overheat? After all the blankets were cooler than your body, it was the heat you emitted that caused them to warm up. Said a little different: solar wa
